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

Keep your expectations low

Course has a nice lay-out.. They are working to improve the course. Water on almost every hole. With some work this could be a great course. There was no starter, no one unloading back and the Ranger was watching over us like a hawk. The course played well but check back in 2024 and I think there will be a huge improvement.

The course that time forgot

While the layout is decent the conditions of this course seem to be beyond repair. The fairways are dead, the greens look like a scene out of an apocalypse movie and for the price, I would defiantly play elsewhere.

Waste of time

Pace of play is ridiculous here. Took 1 hour to play 3 holes. Clubhouse won’t send a ranger out and basically told me it is what it is. Will never play again. Not to mention the the greens might as well be sand bunkers

Could be a great course

Played on a perfect day; warm and a slight breeze. The course has an interesting layout but the tee boxes and greens were in terrible shape. The first green was un-puttable and several others were not much better. It is a shame because it is an interesting and challenging layout with water on many of the holes. There was little difference between the fairway and the rough other than the length of the grass. I will keep looking at the posts and will consider playing it again if the conditions seem to improve.

Hot day to golf

Course has been slowly deteriorating to where it is now.

Most greens are passable but have extensive damage.

This course needs money to start up their watering which I feel is 90% of the problem. Dry, dead grass everywhere.

Other than that the course has great bones.

I will come back next year to see if some one put some money into it or it will be under construction for 500 new homes.

Absolute train wreck

This is my first review ever for a golf course, but I felt the need to.

This golf course is in terrible terrible shape. Putting aside. The burnt grass everywhere the greens were a nightmare.. completely destroyed. As we were approaching the 16th hole, there was a maintenance guy literally watering the green. On the other holes, three huge sprinklers went off, making it impossible to finish. I would not play here again, even if it was free. There is no possible way anyone would write a good review about this golf course. The good reviews have to be employees or family members.

Hole 1 green

The course was really bad.. looks like management is not paying attention to the course at all and they are probably purposely doing it to sell and build houses... the fairways were in really bad shape doesnt look like they are even turning the sprinklers on to them. i've seen better grass in a park ... overall really bad..
