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.

Challenging course

Greens are fast and in great shape but they keep the fairways quite long.

Overall one of the best price/quality ratio in the area.

Much better

This course has been improved significantly. Layout is challenging. Only issue is the pace. Twosome should not be allowed when course is full.

The Water Fall is back in action!

I player with Steve, a new golfer here, and had a great time at Bonaventure. All the tee boxes are open and the Water Fall is going strong. All the fairways have new grass coming in for the snow birds. The greens are getting faster every day so stand by for some awesome putting.

Much Improved - Greens and Fairways great

I have been playing Bonaventure for over 25 years and had stopped playing for the last 5-7 years due to the poor conditions. I was pleasantly surprised at the course conditions when I recently played a few weeks ago and was even better today. They have some work to do to clean up roughs and details, but greens were as good as any I have played recently.

Nice job guys
