Slope 127
Rating 70.1

Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2013. Check Bonaventure Golf Club listing for the remaining opened 18 holes.

Bonaventure West is also known as the Resort Course. This 6189-yard course has less water than the East Course and one extra par 3 on each nine. This is a Charles Mahannah layout, showing this renowned golf course architect at his best.

It has wide fairways and undulating greens. The golf course has lots of tropical vegetation and inhabited by wild parrots, blue herons, snowy egrets, and many other forms of wildlife. Fairways are generous, but hole design makes low scoring a challenge.
The course is perfectly suited for golfers of all skill levels

Challenging course

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!!

Very nice course

This was the third time my wife and I played this course in the last week. It is in very good shape with the greens running fast and hard. Challenging with a lots of water and some really nice hole designs, especially the par three over the water falls! Good variety of tee lengths as well. 4 hours on Saturday morning and 4.5 hours on Monday afternoon. Good pace.

Good afternoon of golf!

The course is much improved over last winter (22-23) with the greens being most notably improved. Pace was slower due to volume and quantity of players grabbing an afternoon round, but we teed off on time. If you’re in the area it’s worth a visit.

Slow, Slow, Slow

Our group teed off 30 minutes after our scheduled tee time. Then we waited at least 10 minutes on every shot because the group in front of us were very, very slow. They were a hole and a half behind the group in front of them, but did not allow us to play through. The ranger stopped to talk to them, but their pace did not improve. Only played 8 holes (in 2 1/2 hours) because we got tired of waiting!!!
