Bonaventure Country Club - West Course

I've been reading a lot of negative reviews for a while and so have not played this course in quite a long time. However, I was greatly impressed with the conditions of the course especially the greens. The course is way better than courses for similar price in the area. Wanted to go play it again tomorrow but can't find a hot deal. I think this is now my go to course in the area. The layout is really impressive, a good test of your skills

While the course itself is not in terrible shape, is nowhere near as good as comparable courses in the area, like Woodmont, Jacaranda, plantation, preserve, or colony West. However, they are the prime example of what is wrong with golf courses today scheduling teetimes less than 10 minutes apart. You’re lucky if you are able to get a round of golf done in under five hours the pace of play is absolutely atrocious and personnel at this golf course could not care less about it.

The pace of play is unacceptably slow, you need to wait 10+ minutes per shot. 18 holes is a 5 hour + round. They need a course ranger to speed up pace of play.

Only one problem...The course puts too many groups spaced too close together. 7 minute tee off spacing and no Ranger late in the day on the back nine lets ignorant and selfish golfers ruin other groups from playing at a reasonable pace.

The course is in good shape.
The owners however are getting greedy and we players are paying for this. They are operating with 7 minute apart tee times which is unacceptable! With this tee time schedule plus a few ignorant slow playing foursomes our round of golf became a round of waiting...waiting...waiting...and waiting!

I played another round at Bonaventure and finished at 6:30. Lots of golfers out here today. The putts here are always a challenge. The greens have come back STRONG compared to last year. Thinks are looking good at Bonaventure!!

First time playing here. Read the recent reviews, few of which commented poor course conditions… it is actually is pretty good and much better than most of the public courses. Definitely would recommend it

Bonaventure staff was kind enough to “comp” me nine holes yesterday due to the very slow play last Monday. Thanks and much appreciated.

This was the third time my wife and I played this course in the last week. It is in very good shape with the greens running fast and hard. Challenging with a lots of water and some really nice hole designs, especially the par three over the water falls! Good variety of tee lengths as well. 4 hours on Saturday morning and 4.5 hours on Monday afternoon. Good pace.

The course is much improved over last winter (22-23) with the greens being most notably improved. Pace was slower due to volume and quantity of players grabbing an afternoon round, but we teed off on time. If you’re in the area it’s worth a visit.

Our group teed off 30 minutes after our scheduled tee time. Then we waited at least 10 minutes on every shot because the group in front of us were very, very slow. They were a hole and a half behind the group in front of them, but did not allow us to play through. The ranger stopped to talk to them, but their pace did not improve. Only played 8 holes (in 2 1/2 hours) because we got tired of waiting!!!
