About

Holes 18
Type Resort
Par 70
Length 6128 yards
Slope 127
Rating 70.1

Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2013. Check Bonaventure Golf Club listing for the remaining opened 18 holes.

Bonaventure West is also known as the Resort Course. This 6189-yard course has less water than the East Course and one extra par 3 on each nine. This is a Charles Mahannah layout, showing this renowned golf course architect at his best.

It has wide fairways and undulating greens. The golf course has lots of tropical vegetation and inhabited by wild parrots, blue herons, snowy egrets, and many other forms of wildlife. Fairways are generous, but hole design makes low scoring a challenge.

The course is perfectly suited for golfers of all skill levels

Don’t waste your time or money

Very friendly and professional staff.

The golf course is in a horrendous shape and will take a lot of time and money to get back to a playable standard.

Don’t waste your time and money. You should be paid to go and play this course not the other way around.

Poor Greens conditions

The course layout is excellent and staff was very friendly.

The front 9 greens have 4 that were extremely poor and the rest were getting better but not quite up to asking $60. The practice green was like a shag carpet

If they would get the greens in good shape it would be an excellent course as the layout is very good and challenging.

They need to lower the green fees after they fix the greens to get back some players or loyalty.

Looking online my review is not unique. word of mouth is hurting them

Avoid this Cow Pasture

This used to be one of Broward County's finest. Today it is a total embarresment. The condition of the course is horrendous. My HOA would fine me if my lawn looked the fairways here, the greens had more dirt than grass, the bunkers hadn't been raked in weeks, were full of weeds and rocks and many had tire tracks through them. A great layout ruined by such poor maintenance . Read the other reviews and find someplace else to play.

The course and layout are a challenge but the maintenance of the course is poor. Tough to put on the greens due to what's going on with them. We also got 3 rental sets with 2 sets having broken clubs and 1 missing a putter.

Sounds like the old owner bought the place again and changes will be coming.

Played better conditions for cheaper

As the title suggests, played better conditioned courses for cheaper. They had some serious sod work on the greens that was really bad. The two groups in front of us were really slow until after the turn the marshall got on em to pick up pace.

I did love the layout but it's hard to get in the groove when you can't get consistent putting.

Also, bunch of ant hills around the green and the sand traps may as well have been concrete. (Not that I found it that many times)

I could see myself going back if it was in better shape, but until then, I wouldn't recommend for the price.

Horrible

Every green was a mess; hunks of grass missing. None of the facilities were open. Even the restrooms were closed.
