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

Slowest round ever

Played Saturday at 2pm. 3 foursomes lined up at every tee. 3 and a half hours for 9 holes. Ended up playing the front 9 twice and finished at 630pm in the dark. Ranger was useless.

High Degree of Difficulty

If you like long par 4s and 5s along with medium par 4s that have to circumnavigate large ponds with angled shots into greens, this is your course. I’m a 14 handicap and found Bonaventure to be very challenging especially with my game not working as well as normal. Course conditions were scruffy but playable. Driving range needs tons of work.

Good value but slow play

Tee times seem to be every 7 min which makes tee times available at a good price but makes pace of place slow

Restaurant needs to be opened up

The restaurant needs to be opened up. It being closed takes away from the total Golf experience. If the restaurant was opened up, it would really turn the business of the golf course around while I was there. I heard a lot of people complaining about the restaurant not being open.

The staff is extremely rude with scummy tee times

They load up members on the tee sheet for tee times that are not available to the public. This alone would be fine, but they do it so there is only 5 minutes between tee times (I doubt golf now would allow this). Do not be surprised if your tee time is bumped back 20 minutes if they just squeeze 4 groups off in front of you in 15 minutes. There will always be a back up on the first hole

This Course is a Dog Track!

Played today. This course is hands down the worst golf course I've ever played on. $80 to play on dead grass and weeds. No beverage cart. No place to buy a sandwich or snack at the turn. This course reminds me of what Heron Bay looked like 3 years AFTER it closed. I don't consider myself to be a golf snob either. I play aot of different courses in South Florida all year round, and again, this is a DOG TRACK! Many other choices for the same $$ or less.
