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.

Good value but slow play
Tee times seem to be every 7 min which makes tee times available at a good price but makes pace of place slow
Restaurant needs to be opened up
The restaurant needs to be opened up. It being closed takes away from the total Golf experience. If the restaurant was opened up, it would really turn the business of the golf course around while I was there. I heard a lot of people complaining about the restaurant not being open.
Cost was very reasonable
Fairways and rough cut to short. Pace of play was very good.
Course
Course Condition was very good have played here before and it is very much improved. Very nice employee in the pro shop If you played here before and weren’t going to go back because of the conditions you need to see it now. Pace of play not so good.,
The staff is extremely rude with scummy tee times
They load up members on the tee sheet for tee times that are not available to the public. This alone would be fine, but they do it so there is only 5 minutes between tee times (I doubt golf now would allow this). Do not be surprised if your tee time is bumped back 20 minutes if they just squeeze 4 groups off in front of you in 15 minutes. There will always be a back up on the first hole
This Course is a Dog Track!
Played today. This course is hands down the worst golf course I've ever played on. $80 to play on dead grass and weeds. No beverage cart. No place to buy a sandwich or snack at the turn. This course reminds me of what Heron Bay looked like 3 years AFTER it closed. I don't consider myself to be a golf snob either. I play aot of different courses in South Florida all year round, and again, this is a DOG TRACK! Many other choices for the same $$ or less.
Very slow play
Our group got backed up on hole 3 (par 3). 4 groups waiting ahead of us. We waited on every shot after that. 5 hour round!😟
Great value for the money
Course was not boring at all lots of dog legs, sand, waterfalls water, nice layout long part fives challenging part threes just a nice day
Meh
I’d say the experience was sub par . They don’t have cash to give you change so I payed 20 dollars for two hotdog that roll on a hot dog maker when the women of operations rolls around in a bmw and 1000 dollar dress and treat people like they are poor people. The staff is short and ready to just get your money and get out . The cart girl rolls around in a super intendant cart with a cooler lol . 70 dollars even on GN is not the best price. After all said and done I could have gone to the trump course for what all the experience was price at . After drinks lunch and balls hit on the range. Never going back for that price . 45 dollars even rate at best . Florida in its self is a horrible course management and PGA affiliate state that does nothing to fix the courses when they make billions of dollars . Not ok on an earth that’s suppose to be coming in the kingdom !
Save your money
This course should be half price. I had a 12:45 tee time and at 12:30 they told me just to go because the group I was supposed to be paired with “asked if they could go” upon coming to the first tee box there was three foursomes lined up waiting as one group shot 6 balls on the tee each. I paired with a group to make things easier since there was no starter or ranger. It took an hour and half to FINISH hole 2 (still no ranger in sight). Course was in horrible condition greens were slow and full of dirt patches. This course was expensive and a waste of money, a double shot was $30 and the cart girl came once… mind you it took 6 1/2 hours to finish…
A great test of true golf
Layout is challenging and requires quality golf shots. Good value. Course is not pristine but certainly decent
Overpriced
This golf course is seriously overpriced for what it offers. The amenities are terrible, and the staff is consistently unfriendly, which sets the tone before you even tee off. Pace of play is beyond pathetic—expect long waits and zero enforcement to keep things moving.
When the greens are actually taken care of, they’re not bad, but that’s about the only positive. The fairways are weedy and inconsistent, the rough is in awful shape, and overall course maintenance is lacking. The tee boxes are decent at best, but that’s not enough to make up for the rest of the experience.
For the price they’re charging, this course is a major disappointment. I wouldn’t recommend it unless significant improvements are made. Woodmont Colony west Davie golf club are all better options
