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

Wonderful layout!

Incredibly well-designed course. Challenging and fun. Plenty of water - so strike carefully. Fairways were a bit dry, as were the greens. Nice overall, I’m going back next week.

Rough was just weeds, greens were slow and wet, fairways were ok had weeds

Bartender was clueless about everything some h spani c kid that has no clue about anything behind a bar or life, was just some Spanish hel l bar and restaurant. Beers were overpriced and the liquor too. The course layout excellent I love all Joe Lee designs, but conditions were terrible. Love the par 3 with the waterfall. Overall this place is a dump, the cart guy was a weirdo too got mad bc we returned the cart in cart washing area.

Good value for money great layout and challenging

Played this course several times over the last couple of years and remake. There are a couple of greens with some spots but roll true and quick Fairways can be a little thin bunkers in good shape. Water range could use some help. The range buckets could be filled full rather than halfway or less. Facilities carts and personnel are all very good and pleasent otherwise

Nice Comeback

I played Bonaventure back in June or July, the course was in really bad shape with bare spots in the fairways and multiple lost greens. Played it a couple days ago just before Christmas, in much better shape. Greens are really nice, tee boxes are in good shape and fairways were in good condition. The layout as always quite challenging. We'll be back soon!

Gator spotted on #5

Nice weather here in south Florida over the couple of days. I stumbled upon a new bird on #2 and a gator on #5. I posted a picture. This guy is hard to miss.

The staff was great, few golfers so pace was excellent! The course was well maintained & good playable shape!! Longer & more open than I expected. Hole 3 has a beautiful waterfall with the green right on top of it! Fun to play. Had a great round! I will be back! Maybe tomorrow! lol

Improved

A few rough fairways and a couple spotty greens, but many are quite nice. They have been working on the course and it shows. Always been a great design that challenges you to make shots, nice to see it coming back.

About average value for the price.

Where the greens aren’t damaged, they are pretty nice. Quick and challenging. The pins were placed to avoid the plugs they are trying to reestablish. Fairways are a mix of good grass and low cut weeds. Course is longer, challenging in places, especially on the greens. Tee times have been readily available.

Probably a tad over priced, but being able to walk on as a single helps during the week. I’ve played it a number of times and it’s one of the closest courses to where I live.

We've been here for 4 days and we've noticed that there are a lot of two-person groups; I counted four behind us. I don't understand why they don't put them together; we constantly feel rushed, and it's not always pleasant. And this is the case at many campgrounds.

Not a bad value.

Nice layout. Conditions a little rough. Sand in bunkers is beautiful, but there's a shortage of rakes.

An Honest Review

If I could have cancelled my tee time I would have . I tried.. I told the Manager in the Pro Shop the same thing.

Course conditions were horrible . Pace of play? Imagine the lines that wrapped around the grocery stores during Covid . The lay out is nice and has potential, but needs a-lot of work . I Made the mistake of taking my 8 year old daughter here for her first time. Her Cart fee costed more than what I paid to book a tee time on GN . Would strongly suggest going somewhere else .
