Bonaventure Golf Club (formerly known as Bonaventure Country Club) is a classic Florida layout with holes routed through strands of mature palms and hardwoods, and around numerous water hazards and expansive bunkers. This course, designed by Joe Lee, is also called the Green Monster. Some people call it the Cascade Course because of the waterfall on the picturesque 160-yard, par-3 third. This signature hole has a waterfall that stretches across the front of the green.

Discord has very unique holes

Over all this course needs a lot of attention, especially the greens. They have too many spots with no grass. The grass is too high and too slow.

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...

fairways an greens

the fairway was fine to much weed grass however the grass off the fairway was uneven thick as if cut with hedgecutters instead of a lawm mower.. some greens had a lot of crabgrass other greens were just hard sand no grass. for a course in such a elegant neighborhood you would expect better

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