The course layout consistently impresses with challenging dog legs, water features, and demanding par threes that keep every round engaging. Friendly pro shop staff and noticeably improved course conditions reward returning golfers who haven't visited recently.

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.

I played Bonaventure quite a few times years ago and remembered it as an excellent laid out course in great condition. Unfortunately now the condition of the course is terrible. What grass there is on the fairways in burnt to a crisp and the greens are in terrible condition with large chunks of grass missing all over them. It looks like they have an issue with the greens as there are 3 being relayed when we played.

Such a shame about the condition of what could be a fantastic golf course. Only the bright side the staff were excellent

Horrible

Course is a cow pasture not worth the money.

They keep saying they're working on it but they don't even water the fairways.

Maybe someday it will be restored to its former greatness....

Good layout, sun-par conditions

3 of 18 were temp greens & not at all nice to putt on. Course had a nice layout & lots of challenges but was not well maintained overall. Shouldn’t be charging full price for this type of play.

Layout Deserves a Better Ownership

This must have been awesome in its hey day, a Joe Lee design. The waterfall par three might be one of the most iconic gimmicky holes of all time. The course has been left to the Iguanas, literally. As a PGA professional who has managed a struggling operation, I get budget constraints. What baffles me here is a golf course with such potential in this affluent community and being in such a state of decay? I can only ask why? Maintain it and they will come is my motto…and you will profit…it is the complete no-brainer of all time!

Excellent layout, bad conditions

The layout of the course is excellent , but a very poor maintenance, the greens are terrible, the tee boxes so bad, cant see the difference between the fairway and rough… this course will be amazing with a good maintenance

Sad

This course used to be one the nicest places to play in south Florida but it has fallen into such disrepair it really is sad. You can see how unique and well designed the holes are but it is in just terrible condition from tee to green.

The staff was very nice and helpful but that only goes so far when you have sand patches , dead spots and St. Augustine grass on the greens and fairways.

Don’t waste your time and miney

Course was in terrible condition. Some of the greens were unplayable. Sand traps had not been maintained, and it was very difficult understanding where the fairways started and stopped.

The layout would be nice if they maintained it or perhaps even mowed the grass.

Just a terrible experience.
