Bonaventure Resort & Spa

I played this golf course many times when I lived in South Florida. It was a great course with a great layout, even to the poing of hosting major amateur tournaments. It had fallen on har times but I made a habit playing it onve on trips there. Last couple of years it had almost gotten to unplayable status, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the vast improvment. It has a ways to go bit they are moving in the right direction with greens and bunkers that are now playable

Overall course is improved. I hadn’t played here in years due to poor conditions but will definitely return now that it appears the ownership is putting money into the course. Fairways, greens and tees were good. Halfway house had good options in the turn. Good to have another option in the area.

Took a chance on this course again on a hot deal, but was pleasantly surprised at how much they've improved. A year or two ago this place was a total cow pasture, absolutely unplayable. As of April 2024, it is considerably better and a place that I would now consider when looking for tee times among the many public courses in the area.

There are a few greens with areas that need more attention, but flags were placed away from any problems and they did not factor into play. Greens were otherwise trimmed very short and rolled well.

Many approaches appear freshly grassed/sodded and fairways are in good shape, about on par with other courses in the area.

Tee boxes are now above average.

Bunkers all have very soft and silty sand, though most if not all of them have little rocks dispersed among the sand. Bring your higher-bounce wedges.

The left side of Hole 4 is all chopped down forest and tree waste. It looks like a giant burn pile. If you hit a hook off the tee, re-tee and hit again. It's blind off the left and you won't find your ball. Wish there was signage for this extensive of an excavation project. There wasn't any other construction or significant renovation on the course.

This course is not beginner friendly. Lots of water and forced carries. If you can't reliably carry a ball at least 120 yards, you will be in the water often and will likely fall behind the pace. Most people still play the middle tees and back when they probably should be on the forward tees on this course. Despite the extensive renovations and improvements, I can still see pace of play easily becoming a issue on a busy day.

Fairways are well kept, greens still roll fast but have sand and fertilizer mixed in seeing the dots in the floor on short outs might be distracting to some.

Greens seem like they’re ready to be punched.

After reading a few reviews I was a little skeptical of the course, all that went out the window today!

For $62 this course was in fantastic condition!

Pace of play was a tad slower but nothing I haven’t seen before.

Par 3 tee boxes are a little beat up but not terrible.

Fairways were in great condition!

15/18 greens were in great condition.

Absolutely would play again!

P.S-whoever placed the holes for 4/1/2024… I hope you stub your toe everyday this week.

First time playing this course and for the $75 I paid it was a great experience. This can easily be a $150 green fee course.

Bring a lot of balls as you find water in 80% of the holes.

I really recommend this course!

I have played this course at least 100 in the early to mid 90s. It was an exceptional track back and place where very good players played. I have moved out of the area but have tried to play when I back in SOFLA. The last few years it had gone from poor to almost unplayable. This trip I was not going to back but got convinced to take a look. They have made tremendous progress. Greens have come back and the fairways, while still a little then are much improved. They have done a lot to improve the bunkering but it would nice if they had more rakes for players to help maintain. They have a way to go, thus the 4 stars. But if I had done this review last year, it would have been a 1 at best

Course is in a lot better shape that was for the last 2 years.

Good conditions and layout, just need improve some services availability (as restrooms) in the course

A challenging course from the white tees with a steady breeze .Despite a few rough areas on greens, they were firm, quick and putted well. Fairways were great but tee boxes could use a little love. Our main concern was the pace of play. Our round took over 5 1/2 hours. Thankfully we got paired with a nice couple that lessened the boredom of the long waits. A few locals we talked to said long rounds are not uncommon.

I haven't played this course in quite awhile because of the bad reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to see the improvement in the course condition. Fairways could be much better, the greens were in very good condition. If they maintain these conditions it will be my first choice to play for these prices. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging round of golf without having to break the bank.

Took 5 hours and 15 minutes to play the round.They need to spread out the ttimes. The course needs work but they seem to be trying to improve the conditions.

Nice course , challenging , plenty of water

I rented clubs because I was traveling and they were the worst set I ever seen , not worth a penny. The pitching wedge was bent and the clubs were old.

I thought about bringing them back but all the other set were the same.
