Bonaventure Golf Club

About
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.

There is a Falcon there.. Photo submitted by edwardfdez on 05/25/2014
The fairways and greens were in poor condition for the most part. Both had patches with no grass and some kind of black dirt instead. The tee box grass was brown and long on most of the boxes.
Overgrown cow pasture
Insane what they are charging for this course for the condition it is and it is a slap in the face to call this a championship style golf course best case scenario this is a four out of 10…..greens awful, Tee boxes bare and fairway is full of weeds
Poor Conditions
We played as a group of 4 the day before my wedding. Considering the area you would think this was going to be a nice course but we were horribly wrong. The tee boxes were overgrown, fairways were either over grown or completely dead/mud, and the greens were white and very bumpy. Course needs a lot of maintenance work. If it was up to me I’d close the course for a week and invest in some extreme makeovers. Then I’d consider going back.
Poor Course Conditions - Almost Unplayable
Had not played the course for several years and decided to give it a try again. Absolutely not worth $65. At most this is a $35 course and that may be somewhat generous. The tee boxes weren’t too bad but most fairways had multiple large bald spots so you were hitting out of the dirt from the middle of the fairway. Most greens were in terrible condition and one was completely unplayable. 20 years ago this was a premium course in western Broward county but cannot currently recommend this course.
Needs lots of work
My first time playing this course. I was very excited looked great online. Unfortunately I was very disappointed. The only thing that was nice was the tee boxes. Fairways are in terrible shape and the greens are even worse. For the amount they charge I was expecting a high quality course. Absolutely trash. Definitely not playing here again until they fix their fairways and greens.
Nice course
While it IS summertime in southern Florida, the course wa in decent shape. The snack shop was closed at noon and that is a missed oportunity for lunch and beer sales
Great course and views
The course was great!. It IS the dead of summer so there were some greens with sand upon them as they repair. The snack shack was open as we went to tee off at 10am however it was closed at the turn and it was about 12 noon. We would have loved to grab a bite.
Unplayable course
From tees to putting greens the course is in absolute disrepair, not worth playing at all.
Course needs work
This course is need of some upkeep. Greens and fairways are in rough shape. Understandably the busy season just ended but other courses have begun their upgrades and repairs. No food at the turn and limited liquor selection as well. Felt it used to be much better about a year ago.
Terrible fairways and greens
Just about every green and fairway had huge dirt spots. You would hit it in the fairway only to be rewarded with your ball in a dirt spot. The rough was a better place to be than in the fairway! I would not recommend or play here again. Plus it was $60 a round for what might be the worst conditions of a course I’ve ever played on.
Bad day of golf
Course is not playable, from tee to green.
Golf now needs to verify reviews and not do deals with courses that do not keep standards to a minimum.
Will not be back.
The greens for the most part are good but the Tee boxes and fairways need work. You can see that the course is making upgrades. Keep up the good work.
Not worth playing
Had played course earlier in the yea and. Purse was in good condition, decided to go back, unfortunately this course is not playable will not be back.
