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

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.

Oh My……

It’s been 15 years since I played this track. It’ll be 15 years before I think of returning.

Goods:

Nice new paved parking lot.

Friendly bag attendant.

Solid electric golf cart.

Not so good:

Range balls older than me. I’m 70.

Fairways like hard pan. What little grass is really weeds.

Rough is essentially overgrown weeds.

Tee boxes are either dirt or weeds.

Bunkers haven’t been raked since Christ was a baby.

Many Greens had depressions filled with green sand.

Overall

I paid afternoon rate of $45. They should have paid me. One star is too high a rating.

Like the West course the owners need to sell this for development, since they have no interest in maintaining an acceptable golf course.

The course layout was unique

However , I’ve played better cow pastures.

Issues

Grass was not cut , launch pads were beaten up and the blocks looked like they were in the same spot for a week.

The greens looked like they had cancer, 50% of the area was in playable.

Waterfall feature was not working. ………the golf carts were good .

Sporty for the downer review. !

Greens in terrible shape

I took my son from Oklahoma to this course and wow, what an eye opener!!! I bragged on the courses in Florida, however, this course is in very bad shape. I am upset I had to spend so much money for this course.

Bypass if you can.

No maintenance

I have played here 15 years ago and the course has deteriorated severely. With the amount of golfers daily it should be immaculate. Talking to staff they say we are looking for improvements in the near future.
