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

Value given some conditions

Although some greens and tee decks were in very poor condition there was still good value for the green fee. Staff was friendly and course presented a good challenge.

Conflicting feelings..

The bones of this course (layout, bunker locations, water risk/reward decisions, greenshapes, challenges) are excellent. A really interesting course. Unfortunately it just has not been maintained. But for $28 it’s a great deal, so long as you arne’t too fussed about true putts. There’s a few bad areas on some greens so I just lifted and moved to a better line, if needed. Both days I played this week there were a lot workers on course but I suspect it’s just to keep it at a minimum quality threshold. Given the minimal maintenance mode I suspect this course is going to get re-developed into housing just like the west course was, which would be a shame. Play it while you can.

They are trying!

I actually loved the layout. Also, we flew around the course because it was not that busy. The greens were not good but really did not affect our scoring. The tee boxes, fairways, bunkers and rough were pretty good. They don't sell beer on the course. There was no cart girl or snack shop at the turn. The power carts were old but functional.

Mixed bag

Nice layout. Older course that was probably excellent when it was designed. Greens were the issue. Some were in poor shape but being worked on. It was a fun round. Good shots are rewarded.

Very disappointed

This was my home course many years ago. One of the two courses is gone and the existing course is in serious disrepair.

Greens

I like the course layout, challenging but fair. The greens are in the process of undergoing much needed repair. Pin placement tries to take advantage of the minimal but useable putting area. Give yourself 2 putts and move on.
