Bonaventure Golf Club
About
Bonaventure Golf Club (formerly known as Bonaventure Country Club) is a classic Florida layout with holes routed through strands of mature palms and hardwoods, and around numerous water hazards and expansive bunkers. This course, designed by Joe Lee, is also called the Green Monster. Some people call it the Cascade Course because of the waterfall on the picturesque 160-yard, par-3 third. This signature hole has a waterfall that stretches across the front of the green.

There is a Falcon there.. Photo submitted by edwardfdez on 05/25/2014
Pace of play & Course Conditions have declined significantly
This used to be a great course, not sure what happened. They are "improving the course" but Im not sure the improvements are going to do much. Pace of play was atrocious, groups of 5 where on the course and certain groups where holding up the pace by spending extensive time looking for balls and taking several tee shots. Ranger was notified multiple times about the issues and did not seem to care. Not worth the money, there are better options for that 50-75 dollar range. It's a shame, this course used to be a great local spot to play.
This course has great potential... but needs an abundance of work, in All areas. In my opinion, it should be closed for 4 to 6 months to ensure the proper maintenance is done. From the tee boxes, down the fairways and right to the greens, it all needs major TLC.
On a brighter note, the staff were lovely!
This would be a very enjoyable course in the future.
Course improvements
The course is being improved, just wish I had known, so we could have gone else where.
Will return sometime in the future.
I played Bonaventure quite a few times years ago and remembered it as an excellent laid out course in great condition. Unfortunately now the condition of the course is terrible. What grass there is on the fairways in burnt to a crisp and the greens are in terrible condition with large chunks of grass missing all over them. It looks like they have an issue with the greens as there are 3 being relayed when we played.
Such a shame about the condition of what could be a fantastic golf course. Only the bright side the staff were excellent
Great course that needs work
Fortunately the work is underway and I can’t wait to see it when it’s finished
Restaurant and Bar are open again for the first time in several years
horrible condition
Do not waste your money on this one.
greens, fairways, tees all in bad shape
They don't even water the fairways !
Good layout, sun-par conditions
3 of 18 were temp greens & not at all nice to putt on. Course had a nice layout & lots of challenges but was not well maintained overall. Shouldn’t be charging full price for this type of play.
Layout Deserves a Better Ownership
This must have been awesome in its hey day, a Joe Lee design. The waterfall par three might be one of the most iconic gimmicky holes of all time. The course has been left to the Iguanas, literally. As a PGA professional who has managed a struggling operation, I get budget constraints. What baffles me here is a golf course with such potential in this affluent community and being in such a state of decay? I can only ask why? Maintain it and they will come is my motto…and you will profit…it is the complete no-brainer of all time!
Excellent layout, bad conditions
The layout of the course is excellent , but a very poor maintenance, the greens are terrible, the tee boxes so bad, cant see the difference between the fairway and rough… this course will be amazing with a good maintenance
Greens are burnt.
Very nice staff. Gave us a discount because greens are in need of repair. Staff told us new crew starting this week. Will come back after they repair the greens.
