Bonita Fairways is situated near Bonita Beach, just a few minutes from the Southwest Florida International Airport. The executive golf course is made up of seven par 4s and the rest are par 3s. The unique layout will test both your short game and long game. There is water throughout the golf course, though the hazards are larger on the front nine than the back. The front nine has a variety of other challenges as well including sand traps and doglegs. The back nine at Bonita Fairways has a different character than the front with more rolling hills and valleys, but there are still plenty of doglegs and sand. It is definitely a golf course where you can hone your short game but there are a few opportunities to grip it and rip it as well.

Review of course upgrades

3rd day course was re-opened and the greens and fairways were marvelous. This was one of the courses that my husband and I loved to play together and since his passing, I still continue to love it! The cart guys are extremely friendly (especially the one from Ohio!) and the staff in the pro shop are always very helpful! I love this course and will continue to bring my friends and family who play golf to this course!

Well maintained and fun

I did not know it when i bought my round that today was the first day of reopening since they redid course starting 6 months ago. Very friendly staff. Brunette gal at checkin desk has a great personality and wonderful smile….. course was the best i have ever played in terms of tee boxes, fairways, greens and bunkers. They have the nicest white sand bunkers around. Down side is that it is a very short course. Maybe too many par 3s especially on the back side Par is 31/30…..

That being said….. will play again especially with friends that are more novice players

Disappointing

I read other reviews that made this sound like an actual golf course, not the burnt up field that it actually is. I'm sure when the good Lord brings it some water it'll turn it back into a golf course but 'till that day comes.

The new management team is redoing the course this summer. Can’t wait for October. It should be a great executive course.

Good executive course, not worth the price

Nice beginner course, friendly staff... not worth $60 round... should be at least half of this price to even consider coming back.

This course is the best value for the money close to me and the staff are great. It would be wonderful if they would put some money into the place and offset some of the costs by offering memberships. My wife and I would join.

Love Bonita Fairways

Before my husband passed away in October 2020, we loved playing Bonita Fairways. The course presents unique challenges and is fun. The staff is the BEST of all of the courses we played together. The first time that I played there after my husband's passing, the cart attendant came to greet me and asked where my husband was. When I told him about his passing, he asked how I was doing, expressed his sincere condolences, and asked if there was ANYTHING he could do for me! When my daughter and I were there this weekend, he came and hugged me and asked how I was doing, where I had been, and made certain that everything was set up and ready for us on our cart. There was new (new to me) staff in the Pro Shop and they were equally friendly and not overbearing! Besides the price (a little too high for me to play all of the time), I would play this course over and over again over other courses if I could. I can't play as often as I like right now due to taking care of my elderly mother.
