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

Challenging course in good shape. Greens rolling true. Range is basically a lake so no way to dial in distances but good value overall.

Patient required

After not playing the course for more than 20 years, we began playing it about a month ago. It is in tremendous shape and it is a challenging test of Golf. My only availability is a Saturday afternoon, and even though it is high season here in South Florida for golf, the course does not have a ranger on it. Monitoring pace of play teeing off at 1:07 one would not think they would have trouble finishing their round but we literally finished in the dark at 6:30. Three groups on every hole people that are beginning golfers playing a difficult course and then there’s the etiquette of people that are not from South Florida that just do whatever they want not keeping in mind that there are people behind them. It is a great value for the money, but they need to do a better job of monitoring the pace of play out on the course it was a little frustrating.

Course has great layout!

If it wasn’t for the extremely slow pace of play, it would be a great course to play frequently. Staff is friendly, course has great layout and greens, tees and fairways are in good condition.

Course is in good condition

Overall the course is in good condition. Even if we played in 4hrs15mts. the foursome in front of us was slow as two holes were opened in front of them. In order to avoid this type of situation the presence of a Marshall would be beneficial.

Nice Turnaround

Played here many times over the years and I've seen its ups and downs. Course is in better shape , greens rolling true and in good shape . Pace of play on President's Day was very slow. Ranger didn't seem to be helpful. Cartgirl was no where to be found until 2 hours into the round. Overall for the price, it's a decent value. Keep it up and just improve on the pace of play and service.
