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

Total waste of time to play this course now. However the management was very apologetic and promised they’re going to do whatever it takes to get the course back to what it used to be

Pace of play was terrible

Waited to tee off….. and then every single shot after that. Mind you, no one in my group is a stud golfer by any stretch. We suck, but we do it at an acceptable pace. Not every couples holes or 1 shot on every hole. We would wait at each tee box and wait for 2 golfers in the group ahead of us to tee off. To add insult to injury, we were told by the starter to pick up our pace of play…. While we were 130 yards from a green with people chipping onto it, anyways, terrible pace and one green had a temporary green with grass like a backyard and overgrown…. Idk. You decide once you’re there if I was right or not. Good riddance

Rough to say the least

Basically other than the friendly staff, not much to say positive about the course. There was no part of the course that was in what you would consider good shape. All 18 greens are between moderately and heavily damaged. When you had a putt on actual grass, they were running a 4.

It’s a very challenging layout, and likely had a heyday, but it’s long past. Maybe for $30, not $65.

5,5 h pace. Greens and fairway in very bad shape

Very, very, very slow pace. We had to wait for every single shot. Not an enjoyable experience at all.

The course, specially greens and Fairway are in a very poor shape.

Attention in the Pro Shop was very friendly and nice.

It's a pity their Caddie Master has cero control over pace of play in the course...

I honestly think the course should be closed for renovations. It’s not worth playing even if it’s free

The fairways and greens were in poor condition for the most part. Both had patches with no grass and some kind of black dirt instead. The tee box grass was brown and long on most of the boxes.

Overgrown cow pasture

Insane what they are charging for this course for the condition it is and it is a slap in the face to call this a championship style golf course best case scenario this is a four out of 10…..greens awful, Tee boxes bare and fairway is full of weeds
