Generous fairways,
Wide fairways appear Laid out to allow erratic shots to remain in play. Course conditions were very good; greens on front nine day we played were faster than back nine. Blue tees represent a much more challenging game than white positions, especially on back nine where carry over water or swamp were typical on almost all holes.
A new course, with little landscaping to beautify the scene away from the playing track.
generic course
There were some things I liked: wide course, good condition, friendly staff. But then there are negatives. Why would you buy huge expanse of land and then build the units directly on the golf course choking it to death? Anywhere you look there are town homes sometimes getting so close that there is no way to avoid unfortunate hook or slice into them. The course is neither difficult no interesting, I played there once and that was enough. The game was painfully slow even for Florida: no ranger in site, you get impression they don't really care about it.
Hi "rapopora" We appreciate you taking the time to review our course. We will definitely pass this review along to our construction company who is in charge of that side of the business. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you will give us another try sometime in the near future. Thanks MGT
Chicago Boys
Awesome course! Excellent conditions!
Hi "u000007428442" Thanks you so much for the Excellent review. Please come back and see us again.
Hard to say....
We hose this course because it was supposed to be the newest golf course in Southwest Florida. Well, the golf course itself was in great shape from tee to green.Greens were fast but true and we made several 10 ft.+ putts. Did not notice any bare spots and only a few weeds on the fairways. Drives that hit the fairways got an incredible bounce. However, this very playable and enjoyable course is right in the middle of a huge! construction site. There was dust and noise everywhere, especially on the front nine.Some of the cart paths are sand and if it gets in your eyes, it is not fun.
I will echo comments already posted here about Bonita National: water comes into play on every hole and not always visible from the tee box. You will play this course better the second time around.
I would say that when construction is complete, it will be a truly wonderful course, but for right now, I am not sure that had I to do it over again, I would.
Hi "u000002523918" We appreciate your patience during this time as our course in only a year old. We are in the process of building homes, amenities, and our clubhouse at this time which is necessary to operate a successful golf course. We hope that you will understand and give us another try in the near future. Thanks MGT
Nice
Good track with appropriate hazards. Driving areas adequate. I can't think of any 'unfair' holes.
Hi "u983512205" Thank you for the great review, we are so glad you enjoyed your day with us. Don't forget to follow us on Facebook for some great monthly golf specials!
Nice track
Enjoyed the course. Lots of water but wide fairways. Fast greens are a sign of a good course well manicured for a course only 1 year old.
Hi "joepascale" Thank you so much for the excellent reviews! We appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your round with us today. Thanks and please come back and see us again soon.
Amenities and course were solid
Course was in very good condition. Course had some challenging holes and some that were easier so a good mix. Staff was friendly and helpful as well. Would recommend this course to someone else and I would definitely go back.
Thank you so much for your recommendation! We are glad you enjoyed your day and look forward to seeing you back again soon!
Best new course and community
Course is well layed out with water coming into play on majority of holes. Fairways are broad but don't let the fool you. Fairways narrow significantly towards greens and lakes often cut into landing areas. Had several lake balls on drives that I thought were safe. Played course a second time which allowed me to shave a few strokes given course knowledge. Fairways and tees nicely maintained. Greens were firm and a bit on the slow side but rolled true.
Condos and carriage homes looked great.
The pool was nearly complete and will rival any in Southwest Florida. Zero entry and a giant rock feature with waterfall!!!. Really awesome design. In a couple of years this will be "the place" to play and stay in the Naples area for sure.
Excited to return soon.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review and detailed feedback! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the course and amenities that will only get better! We look forward to seeing you back again soon.

Excellent rating all around, course challenge conditions and customer service. Great value
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We look forward to seeing you back again very soon!
Good course but expensive
B.N. is a newer course centered around a massive new residential community being built. Like all FL residential/golf communities the course is designed for maximum home lots on the golf course. The course is flat but not walkable due to distance between some greens and the next tee. Fairways are reasonably wide but water and out of bounds awaits on both sides if you miss them. Greens run true and are nice for a newer course. Overall course condition is very good. There aren't any really memorable holes. Played in March - and this course is expensive. There are some better value courses in the area.
Thank you for coming out to play and providing a 4 star review! We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back again very soon so we can provide the best value!
Enjoyable, but horribly slow greens soured the experience
This course has a very enjoyable layout, with appropriate challenges from each tee box. The grass is dense on both the tees and fairways. I never had a single lie on grass that adversely affected ball contact. Bunkers were in excellent condition. This will eventually be a wonderful private course. It's just not quite ready, and at the price~$130.00/player, it offers a poor value experience.
While I can only speak for the course play on March 20, 2016, the greens looked beautiful, but played horribly. Sharpley struck chips, pitches, and putts stopped going downhill on down slopes. It was virtually impossible to make a normal stroke and get the ball anywhere near the cup. For those used to northeast golf, it was like playing on temporary greens.
This course will eventually play great, tee through green. By then it may be private, but for now check out the practice green BEFORE paying.
Right now, it's like putting on Velcro. Essentially, half the game is compromised.
The clubhouse is a temporary facility. It offers no amenities.
My round did serve a good purpose, as I am looking at purchasing a home in the area. I did pay to play, so my opinion reflects this. Right now, the course is too expensive and represents a poor value.
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your review! We are sorry that your experience at Bonita National was not up to par on this particular day. The course is still in the process of improving so we appreciate your patience. We hope to see you back again after your move!
Fun course
Fun course lots of water on every hole. Tees fairways and greens were in good shape. Would play again
Thank you for coming out to play! We're so glad you had fun and were pleased the condition of the course. Looking forward to seeing you back again soon!
Fun but not too difficult
Fun course, pretty good condition. Priced a little too high.
We are so glad to hear you had a fun day! We hope to see you back soon and provide you the best value in the area!
Wait 5 years
This course is at best 2 1/2 stars when compared to others in the area. It is a new course with very little landscaping, facilities and lots of construction around. The layout is good and needs another 5 years. The starter and the staff in general were very good. You can see it is a "start up" that needs more time to develop. Example: on course washroom was locked, google maps does not show correct location.
Thank you for coming out to play and providing your feedback. We are sorry you did not feel the course was in excellent condition. We hope you will return soon to give Bonita National another chance!
Absolutely Sensational!!!
Oh my goodness me!!!! This is quite certainly the best course I have played in a long long time let me tell you. First of all, I have never met such an extraordinary staff. The moment I pulled my vehicle up to the bag drop, I was met instantly by 2 of the outside staff. One of them, a tall, muscular individual, greeted me and picked up my heavy bag with ease, placing it on a nice clean cart. The other staff member, a tall lean fellow, chatted with me about the history of the course. I quickly went inside the shop to check in, and I was again met with great hospitality. I met the head pro, who looks like he grew up in Dublin, Ireland just like my favorite golfer Rory McIlroy. I exited the shop to find my cart waiting for me with ice water and some extra tees. The practice facilities are A1 complete with an aqua range, putting green, and chipping green. After hitting a few drives, I made my way out to the first tee and had the time of my life. This couse is in extremely great shape for being in the middle of a community under construction. I can only imagine the shape its going to be in come 2 years from now. I can't wait to come back here in a few weeks and play with my bros. I would recommend this to anyone that loves the game.
Thank you so much for leaving us such a fantastic review! We are so pleased that Bonita National met your every need. We will definitely pass along the kind remarks to our Head Pro and outside staff. Can't wait to see you back out on the course in the next few weeks!
Gem of a course
Naples full time resident who has played available courses in the area and has found new favorite. Cannot begin to expound on the staff friendliness and helpful demeanor upon arrival through completion of round. Course is forgiving on tee shots and gets a little more difficult on approach shots through a norrowing effect towards greens and bunkers. This is a thinking golfers course as you can use a variety of shots to the greens. Water on a lot of holes but unavoidable. Bunkers well maintained with white soft sand.The greens rolled true although not extremely fast. I will make this my go to course in the future for myself and out of town guests. Kudos to course and staff.

Hi "bogeytb" Thank you so much for taking the time to review Bonita National GC. We appreciate the 5 star review! Don't forget to make your tee time next weekend as we are giving away a sleeve of golf balls with your round in February.
Dissapointing
I played this course last year and loved it. It has really gone down hill. The fairways and greens were more brown than green. I'm not sure they have ever been watered.
Hi "u607511839" Thank you for taking time to review our course, we are sorry that you believe the course is not in proper shape. If you take a look at the other reviews listed on golfadvisor we are always a 4 or 5 star course. We hope that we can change your mind and that you will give us another try in the near future.
Bonita - 2nd Year
The course was in great shape. For the second year being open, the grass was thick and lush. Pace of play also was very good, finished our round as a foursome in 3 1/2 hours.
Hi "dlemke6 " Thank you so much for coming out and playing Bonita National GC, we appreciate you helping us celebrate our 1 year anniversary. So glad you enjoyed your round please come back and visit us again next year!
Hi "u000007350738" We appreciate your honest review. We are currently still in the process of developing the land and much of our landscaping and plant life has not grown in. We appreciate your patience and hope to see you again next year.
