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.

Tee boxes and greens have seen a lot of traffic
Fairways are well kept, greens still roll fast but have sand and fertilizer mixed in seeing the dots in the floor on short outs might be distracting to some.
Greens seem like they’re ready to be punched.
Bonaventure Getting Better
I played this golf course many times when I lived in South Florida. It was a great course with a great layout, even to the poing of hosting major amateur tournaments. It had fallen on har times but I made a habit playing it onve on trips there. Last couple of years it had almost gotten to unplayable status, so I was pleasantly surprised to see the vast improvment. It has a ways to go bit they are moving in the right direction with greens and bunkers that are now playable
Great Course / Great Value
First time playing this course and for the $75 I paid it was a great experience. This can easily be a $150 green fee course.
Bring a lot of balls as you find water in 80% of the holes.
I really recommend this course!
Bonaventure on the rebound
I have played this course at least 100 in the early to mid 90s. It was an exceptional track back and place where very good players played. I have moved out of the area but have tried to play when I back in SOFLA. The last few years it had gone from poor to almost unplayable. This trip I was not going to back but got convinced to take a look. They have made tremendous progress. Greens have come back and the fairways, while still a little then are much improved. They have done a lot to improve the bunkering but it would nice if they had more rakes for players to help maintain. They have a way to go, thus the 4 stars. But if I had done this review last year, it would have been a 1 at best
Course has come along.
Course is in a lot better shape that was for the last 2 years.
Great course
Good conditions and layout, just need improve some services availability (as restrooms) in the course
slow play
Took 5 hours and 15 minutes to play the round.They need to spread out the ttimes. The course needs work but they seem to be trying to improve the conditions.
Florida Golf
Nice course , challenging , plenty of water
I rented clubs because I was traveling and they were the worst set I ever seen , not worth a penny. The pitching wedge was bent and the clubs were old.
I thought about bringing them back but all the other set were the same.
Nice layout
Overall the course is in good condition! The only negative note is the fact that it took 4:45 hrs to play our round.
Winter golf
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.
Course greatly improved
I haven't played this course in quite awhile because of the bad reviews. I was pleasantly surprised to see the improvement in the course condition. Fairways could be much better, the greens were in very good condition. If they maintain these conditions it will be my first choice to play for these prices. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging round of golf without having to break the bank.
