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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
