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.

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.
Nice course fair price
Good day out, haven’t been there in a while but the course was very nice and great price!
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.
Huge improvement
Been playing this course for over 10 years. The last few years the course went extremely downhill to where it was almost unplayable. Read a lot of reviews that said the new owners put some money into the course and it was a lot better. Played yesterday and was not disappointed. The course was in great shape compared to what it was. The greens were the most improved area. They were smooth and rolled well. One or two needed some more work but overall they were great. Tee boxes were decent, could use a little more love but you can tell they are moving in the right direction. The food shack at the turn was great. Had lots of options for a mid round snack. There was also a cart girl on the course that was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be putting this course back in the rotation.
Great Course
First time playing the course and we loved it! Greens well maintained and fairways were groomed with no obstructions!
Work in progress!
My first impression is when you see the driving range. It needs a lot of work. The tee box areas are in need of a little TLC. Bunkers filled with sand, nice fairways, and average greens. I golfed here many years ago when it was in its prime. The course layout is very challenging and players should play from the right tee lengths. The signature elevated par 3 hole has a spectacular waterfall in front of it which can be intimidating. Looks like the management team is working hard to get it back into its prime status. Pro shop and staff members were very courteous. I would definitely give this a consideration to play.
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.
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.
Fun Layout, Much Improved
New management has done a great job restoring this course, especially the green. Saw a big gator on the shore of lake between 1st - 4th hole. Unique par 3 3rd hole tees off into green right above a waterfall. Super cool
Had fun!
Haven’t played here in years but I see huge improvements to the greens and tee boxes. The place went downhill for a while but coming around again. Great job so far. It was busy but we didn’t care. Course was fun and a really nice track. Definitely worth playing.
5 Hour Round
Incredibly slow round. Took a little over 5 hours to complete 18 holes. I would like to play this course again but I’m not sure I want to experience another 5 hour round.
Much improved
The staff has done a great job with improving the conditions of the course. Will definitely play again. Bunkers still need work and rakes. Fairways in good shape and greens roll true.
The course is back…
It’s been a few years since I’ve played this course because the conditions were so bad. Under new management and a lot of improvements. For one I am so happy to see the waterfall on hole #3 back working . Such a beautiful hole. All the greens are good and they roll true. Some bare spots on some of the tee boxes, but not bad at all. I would definitely play here again. Starters and the rest of the staff were very friendly and accommodating
