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.

Beware of the negative Nancy’s
You’ll get what you pay for here. The layout is great. Fairways are in good shape. A few tee boxes need help. The greens and bunkers need help for sure. But what’s not to like about a great layout, great pace of play and cart paths.
Disappointed
Bonaventure was a premier and prestigious course for as long as I can remember. I last played 5 years ago and the course was immaculate. Today, the course was in POOR condition, dry grass, beat up/sandy greens, and grey sand traps. It is a pitty, and definitely the last time I will be playing there.
Greens are in bad shape, a lot of good golf holes, bunkers are not well maintend but for the good rate it’s Good value for money and the staff was friendly
Good Course
Good courses. Great layout
Tee decks need work on par 3s
Greens were Sandy and patchy
FWYS and rough were nice. Read lots of complaints on them.
As a 5hdcp I didn’t find anything wrong with them
Good layout , poor conditions
Pretty good layout, not that easy to play but i’m still looking for the fairways because there is no fairway ! The grass is in poor condition.
Not well maintained Golf course
The course was not in good shape. The fairways had weeds and the greens were unputtable in many areas (bare spots and sand). We allowed many single players to play through our foursome. Singles players should have been grouped as a foursome.
Do not waste your time
No starter, no instructions on checking in, front nine in extremely poor condition back a bit more groomed. A lot of water layout is good loos golf balls in rough as not cut.
