Bonaventure Golf Club

What a minefield. The fairways are all weeds and rough is St Augustine. Greens were slow and bumpy and pocked with holes and large swathes of green sand. Very hard to score yourself fairly because of the conditions.

This course also eats balls. Lots of water and very hazardous for a high handicapper. Not very fun at all.

For the price of a tee time here you can play the big beautiful courses in Broward and palm beach instead. They need to close down and rejuvenate everything or cut their price in half and get rid of the stupid waterfall and other holes that slow the pace of play to a halt.

We have played this course many times over the years we have visited Weston. This year it’s in very poor condition. The greens were almost unplayable. Very disappointing and we won’t play there again. No water available to fill our water bottles, carts were dirty, no driving range. Almost makes us think it’s going out of business which is strange since there are multi-million dollar homes all around it.

Greeting's Golfers,

My buddy and I from Canada played this course as we were on a 50th birthday tour!

We read the terrible reviews but thought we would try it out anyways.

They were true!

The putting green looked like a weed infested chunk of DIRT!

A number of the greens had large sand traps on them...truly brutal...like putting across the Sahara desert in many places.

The pace of play was WILD! There was a 5-some ahead of us...and BELIEVE THIS...a 10-some in front of them! YES, a 10-some! We complained to the marshal on the fifth hole (he was also the starter...but wasn't there when we started! lol) and he finally allowed us to skip a hole and move on!

So we finished up playing the round with a couple of local lads...great dudes...and we enjoyed the back 9--albeit...the course was not in great shape at all.

It's almost like they didn't pay any attention to it during COVID and let it go beyond repair! Too bad as it is a cool layout with potential.

The fellow in the club house was saying next time tell them you are a Florida resident...then it's only $50USD to play...which in my buddy and my eyes is still about $20 too much!

We played Pembroke Lakes the next day and it is WELL WORTH THE $80USD! 10x the course!

Play at your own risk...but we won't be back to the BONAVENTURE!

Cheers,

What a dump, greens were unplayable and the course was covered in trash and roadside debris.

Greens were almost unreadable due to black pellets everywhere?! Missing sections of green, fairways were trash. Nothing in the clubhouse (I’m talking food apparel or drinks) I wouldn’t recommend this course to my worst enemy

I usually don’t take the time to review courses since they’re all within a reasonably playable range for their price. Unfortunately I cannot say that about Bonaventure. We paid 50 bucks to play this course and it had turf field pellets and sanded patches on almost every green. 0 chance of staying on line when we were putting. The general upkeep up the course was not great, the clubhouse had nothing in it either. There was a cart lady who we saw twice on the front and then never again on a hot day.

No water on the course either so get ready to roast.

Overall hated the course and will never be back.

Great course layout. Course condition below average for this time of year. Greens and tee boxes not in good shape but course layout made up for it. Still had a great day for the price.

The course is in very poor condition the green were some of the worst I have played on. The staff was very kind and hospitable!

The reviewer stating this course was re-done must be living in 1930. The greens and tee boxes were in extraordinarily bad shape— especially the greens! There was this green spray throughout every green-making it impossible to hit a decent putt.

I won’t play here again.

No money getting put back into the course, but only someone’s pocket.

The course could be awesome with some TLC.

Not looking like that will happen any time soon.

The staff was super nice almost to nice where I was feeling bad for them, thinking this course is on its last leg ready to close.

FYI- not a single course greens worker out there anywhere.

What would that mean to you?

Sorry to see something with such potential go to the way side like this. A real shame. Very sad…
