Bonaventure Resort & Spa

Overall the course is in good condition! The only negative note is the fact that it took 4:45 hrs to play our round.

New management has done a great job restoring this course, especially the green. Saw a big gator on the shore of lake between 1st - 4th hole. Unique par 3 3rd hole tees off into green right above a waterfall. Super cool

Upon looking at the course rating of 3 stars and the higher price we choose to play some of the other surrounding courses that were lower cost and higher rating. Were we wrong this should have been the 4 star and the others a 3 star. The greens were decent and didn't have burn out or multiple grasses growing on them.

I've been reading a lot of negative reviews for a while and so have not played this course in quite a long time. However, I was greatly impressed with the conditions of the course especially the greens. The course is way better than courses for similar price in the area. Wanted to go play it again tomorrow but can't find a hot deal. I think this is now my go to course in the area. The layout is really impressive, a good test of your skills

While the course itself is not in terrible shape, is nowhere near as good as comparable courses in the area, like Woodmont, Jacaranda, plantation, preserve, or colony West. However, they are the prime example of what is wrong with golf courses today scheduling teetimes less than 10 minutes apart. You’re lucky if you are able to get a round of golf done in under five hours the pace of play is absolutely atrocious and personnel at this golf course could not care less about it.

Only one problem...The course puts too many groups spaced too close together. 7 minute tee off spacing and no Ranger late in the day on the back nine lets ignorant and selfish golfers ruin other groups from playing at a reasonable pace.

The pace of play is unacceptably slow, you need to wait 10+ minutes per shot. 18 holes is a 5 hour + round. They need a course ranger to speed up pace of play.

I played another round at Bonaventure and finished at 6:30. Lots of golfers out here today. The putts here are always a challenge. The greens have come back STRONG compared to last year. Thinks are looking good at Bonaventure!!

First time on this course this year, much improved since last year.

The course is in good shape.

The owners however are getting greedy and we players are paying for this. They are operating with 7 minute apart tee times which is unacceptable! With this tee time schedule plus a few ignorant slow playing foursomes our round of golf became a round of waiting...waiting...waiting...and waiting!

Bonaventure staff was kind enough to “comp” me nine holes yesterday due to the very slow play last Monday. Thanks and much appreciated.

First time playing here. Read the recent reviews, few of which commented poor course conditions… it is actually is pretty good and much better than most of the public courses. Definitely would recommend it
