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

Getting Better

Played this coarse in the past and was in very bad condition. Very surprised at the job they have done to bring it back to top shape. Isn’t there yet but hopefully the will continue what they have started with maintenance. As this is a true test of driver and off the tee shot making. Very challenging.

Slow day

I play here at least twice every month but this week the pace was extremely slow. The ranger was visible but did nothing to try and ask the groups to move a little faster

What Have You Done Lately?

You spent millions of dollars to make the course playable a while back. Now, the course is deteriorating in every area. Some fairways are just bare-bones, and spotty weeds are popping up on every green. Given the price you're charging, many better courses nearby with more reasonable green fees. How can you keep up the competition with the current course conditions and price? Do not let this great course go downhill again!

J’avais hâte de jouer ce terrain. Je suis déçue de la qualité des tee off et des fairways. Seuls les verts étaient de bonne qualité.

Great Course

This is one of the hidden gems is South Fl. The Par 3 on hole 3 is a beautiful waterfall. It is a bit challenging to get it over the waterfall but when you do it's a great feeling. The course has water on every hole which makes it easy to lose balls. Other than that, this is an amazing course. Some fairways could use some love but all in all this is well worth the money.

Bouncing back

Nice to see some effort to bring this longtime course back to life. The greens were fantastic! Fairways and other areas need a bit of work but there was also some heavy weather a few days before my round. I have avoided Bonaventure for a while because of it's condition, but I will return. Good to see a comeback in the making

very solid, challenging course. Bunkers were immaculate, rest of the course was in decent shape. One tough hole after another. Good hot deal values in an expensive area.

No grass on the fairways.

If you like playing from tight lies, this is the course for you. Even the rough wasn’t rough. The greens were in pretty good shape, but the fairways need a lot of help.
