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.

Good golf course

The course was in its best condition in years. The greens were very good, and the fairways were very good. The rough was tall and mostly weeds and difficult to find the golf ball.

Improved a lot

The course have improved greatly from a few months ago. It's playable now, a few wet spots which was strange since it hasn't been raining a lot. Greens were on the slow side, but it's playable and I will be back. Nice to see the improvements because it's such a challenging and fun layout.

Much improved

This course has been experiencing some tough years, but they have made some much-needed improvement and are continuing to do more. Bunkers or re-sanded with fresh sand. Tea boxes are nice. Fairways are clean. Only minor drawback is some of the green still need a little bit of work, but overall very good value for the money and the layout is a little more challenging than most. Will definitely be coming back.

Much improved

You can see the work that has been put into this golf course. If it continues, they can restore it to what it once was.

I will be back.

Golfing thru showers as Tropical Storm Rafael gets close

I was able to play today even though we had several brief showers blowing thru. All the tee boxes are open after some recent improvements.
