Bonaventure Resort & Spa

It’s been a few years since I’ve played this course because the conditions were so bad. Under new management and a lot of improvements. For one I am so happy to see the waterfall on hole #3 back working . Such a beautiful hole. All the greens are good and they roll true. Some bare spots on some of the tee boxes, but not bad at all. I would definitely play here again. Starters and the rest of the staff were very friendly and accommodating

I like play at this course last week an I return tomorow 24 January 2024

Nice course. I enjoyed it. It was slow tho. No ranger. No cart girl either.

This course is 100% better than last year. Many of the greens were terrible last year, but only about 3 greens had small repairable spots. It would help if ALL sand traps had at least one rake & preferably 2. The biggest fault is the slow pace of some groups who are too selfish to allow you to play through. The course Marshals are rarely seen and do little if anything to speed up play ie. force slow groups to allow others to play through.

Nice to see the course getting back in shape.Hope they keep getting better.

The course was very wet which made it play very long. I played the white tees about 6200 yards the course could probably use a set of hybrid tees the next set of tees was 5600 yards I hit several approach shots to front pins that plugged or only took one bounce the greens were smooth and true.

I liked the layout water came in to play on a lot of holes

I have played this course every winter for the last 4 years. When we played last year they told us that a new owner took over and things will get better, and it did. Greens have grass on them and fairways are green and growing.

Traps still need attention and need rakes.

Overall a great course getting better.

My first time playing this course was in 1990 when John Jacob’s golf school was here. The golf course was in pristine condition. It has greatly deteriorated over time.

Golf needs bold owners like you and your improvements will definitely bring your old Clients back and, will harness great interest amongst the golfing community.

Wishing you long lasting success! 🔜 😊

Verry good place for play golf, staff smart, condition good.

I like play at your golf course I return January 17 2024

We booked flights yesterday from Milwaukee to Fort Lauderdale for a quick golf trip, without tee times! I spent a couple hours on the plane searching GolfNow and the recent reviews for Bonaventure were very favorable relative to most every other course I looked at….AND for a better price! The reviews said new ownership has put money into the course and it absolutely shows. We were thrilled. Greens were fast and true, frankly that’s what matters about course condition. We played on a rainy wet day and yet the greens were pure. After 18 we wanted more…the staff accommodated us with a very reasonable replay fee. Fantastic layout, demanding tee shots from the tips with balance of risk/reward, excellent bunkers, fantastic staff, awesome halfway house for food & drink, and great greens!!! If you aren’t impressed with the value after a round at Bonaventure, I don’t want you in my 4some because you are clearly a moron! Looking forward to playing again!

The place is coming back I love it. Great course layout, My biggest complain is the greens, They look great but they need to be tier and mowed, Ball are running too slow and if you have a good put get ready ball may cut left or right for the reason mention

This course was let go for a long time. It was sold I thought they would build houses there but the people that bought the course turned it around they put lots of money back in to the course

The greens were great. Nice to see a good course come back to its old self

I’ll be playing again

This course was beautiful and well-maintained. The price for the course was just right. They had great chipping areas to warm up with. There was ample space to practice and it was cool that they left several baskets around for you to grab and practice. The driving nets need a little update. They don't officially have a Driving range, but they do have some net setups that still allow you to warm up your clubs with a few swings. You really need to try this course. It's a beautiful course.

Found this on Golf Now and read how improvements were ongoing. Overall, the course was good. Lost of the greens were in good shape, a few had repairs ongoing.

Fairways were decent, some thin areas but ok overall. The course has a lot of water!

We played in just over 4 hours so pace was ok as well.

I will be back to see the progress in the next couple months.
