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

Course was wet

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

Improving

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.

Mediocre

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.

Surprised

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

First Time Here

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.

Best value if your game can handle it.

This course has improved dramatically under new course maintenance who knows what they are doing. Love this course but it's very challenging. This is my preferred course now. They need to improve tee off times so that you are able to actually start on your tee time. Bunkers also need to improve. Carts need to have sand to fill divots. Most players here don't seem to understand that you should repair your divots on the green. Staff need to enforce these things so their hard when is not ruined by bad etiquette. As long as the pace is maintained, it's a good course to play. You'll need to manage the course well to score well. Staff is very welcoming and friendly.

Great Hidden Gem in Florida

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.

Good layout

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.
