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.

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.

Welcome back!

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

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.

Course condition IMPROVED!

I played this course about two years ago and it was in terrible shape. It has come back from the dead. I would totally play this course again. The waterfall hole actually had the water running. Lol. The amenities are still minimal but at least the carts are all charged up and they even have a cart girl. They’ve also added a “food shed” after the ninth hole. See you soon.

Improved

Overall course is improved. I hadn’t played here in years due to poor conditions but will definitely return now that it appears the ownership is putting money into the course. Fairways, greens and tees were good. Halfway house had good options in the turn. Good to have another option in the area.

Great Deal

After reading a few reviews I was a little skeptical of the course, all that went out the window today!
For $62 this course was in fantastic condition!
Pace of play was a tad slower but nothing I haven’t seen before.
Par 3 tee boxes are a little beat up but not terrible.
Fairways were in great condition!
15/18 greens were in great condition.
Absolutely would play again!

P.S-whoever placed the holes for 4/1/2024… I hope you stub your toe everyday this week.
