Bonanza is close to our resort - just a few minutes' drive away. It is a challenging course to play, with very friendly and helpful caddies to add to the golf experience. There are many water hazards for the unwary and plenty of bunkers to practice your sand shots. This course is only a few years old, and is in terrific condition with very good greens. Bonanza gives you the opportunity to make birdies, but beware - it is very easy to run up those double bogies. A joy to play!
