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
SLOW! Red ant hills EVERYWHERE
Pace of play was a major issue! Before even teeing up we were behind 3 groups and had another behind us even though we were on time… The round took about 6 hours, 8:52 tee time and didn’t get back to the truck until almost 3!
Careful where you walk they have massive red ant hills on every fairway. Managed to only step on one and walk away with a few bites through the round.
Course is challenging but designed well just wish it had better management on the tee times and greens keepers.
terrible greens
the greens were pretty much grey. not much else to say
Pace horrible. 10 people on hole 1. Took 3.5 hours to play 9 holes.
Greens were awful half of them barley had grass and were just filled with sand.
Needs some water!
Not nearly as friendly this time out. Tees and fairways are very dry and sandy due to lack of water...kind of understandable since area is in a significant drought condition. This made for some unpredictable lies and rollouts. Some big sandy patches on the greens too. Hopefully course super is saving up some money from greens fees for real grass seed once they get some water. Challenging layout when conditions are better so it is likely I will be back.
Terrible and expensive
Do yourself a favor and play anywhere else. This course is in terrible shape and pace of play was dreadful (we waited 40 minutes to tee off at the first hole). From a distance the greens look pretty good but they’re all just painted green. I know because they sprayed them while we waited to hit from the fairway. We paid $60 for a course worse than Cooper Colony
Nice layout!!
Greens were atrocious- they need LOTs of work...
They are working on it BUT they need lots of work!!!
Disgrace
Enjoy the first green
It gets worse
Don't waste your time.
There was no grass on the tee boxes, the greens are covered in green sand to cover for missing grass. The fairways and rough are burnt.
Tolerable
Playable but a little TLC is in order watering needs to be consistent and greens need MANICURE.
