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.

Getting better

Bonaventure team are doing a good job in bringing back the condition well. The majority of the greens are good as are the fairways. The staff are generally friendly. The tee boxes still need work but overall is is much better than a year ago,

Much Improved

This course is 100% better than last year. Many of the greens were terrible last year, but only about 3 greens had small repairable spots. It would help if ALL sand traps had at least one rake & preferably 2. The biggest fault is the slow pace of some groups who are too selfish to allow you to play through. The course Marshals are rarely seen and do little if anything to speed up play ie. force slow groups to allow others to play through.

Very wet conditions

First time playing the course was extremely wet. I usually play courses in the Midwest at about 6300 yards. Playing the 6200 yard tees in those conditions made the course play extremely long. Most every drive plugged or rolled out a yard or two. I looked at playing the seniors tee. But they were only 5400 yards. They could use another tee box. We quit after 9.

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.

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.
