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.

The Water Fall is back in action!

I player with Steve, a new golfer here, and had a great time at Bonaventure. All the tee boxes are open and the Water Fall is going strong. All the fairways have new grass coming in for the snow birds. The greens are getting faster every day so stand by for some awesome putting.

This course has improved 100% over the last two years. You won't find a better course for the money in Broward county. I highly recommend it.

Much Improved - Greens and Fairways great

I have been playing Bonaventure for over 25 years and had stopped playing for the last 5-7 years due to the poor conditions. I was pleasantly surprised at the course conditions when I recently played a few weeks ago and was even better today. They have some work to do to clean up roughs and details, but greens were as good as any I have played recently.

Nice job guys

Adding back into my rotation

Over the years the course conditions have changed. Thankfully it is returning to a good option to play. The layout is a challenge. in my opinion it is a solid and traditional layout with no gimmick holes. I enjoy playing it.

Great course and conditions

This course has improved greatly over the years. Greens and fairways were in amazing condition.

Played here 3yrs ago and couldn’t putt on the greens they were so bad.

The greens yesterday were night and day. Fast full and very clean. And no damage what so ever

Very impressed with the money put into the course and will be back during my trip to play again.

Ruff too tuff

The greens and fairways were in excellent shape. Once off the fairwas i was too difficult to mke clean contact as the balls lay too deep in the grass to get under the ball cleanly losing distance repeatedly. Too many water holes to go around to stay on the fairway. All three of us lost a numbe of balls due to the layout and water everywhere.

Need better rangers

The course was great the staff was friendly. I understand it was a holiday weekend and expected slow play, but it was beyond slow. It was so bad we left after 14 holes. Either get the ranger to enforce steady play or don't book folks so close together.

Quit over booking

They won’t control pace of play, every round has taken nearly six hours. No one was at the turn snack shack for more than an hour. Consistently an issue out here. Horrible experience and management
