I got to to play Bonifay today,It will be one of the fravorite courses for residents to play.The layout is fantasic,very fair if you pick the proper tees.i am looking forward to playing it again when it opens to the residents.Can't wait to see the 3rd nine when it opens,it should be as great as the first two nines.Congradulationd to our Villages course designers,you did a great job.

Part of the villages one percent benefit. Separate rules for "special people.
But on our bond payments

That is what they do, accept it

Bonifay is a championship golf course and is privately owned. None of our amenity or bond fees went into its construction or operation costs. Just wanted to clear that up.


It would make sense that those who work for golf management, and, perhaps, even real estate sales, got a chance to preview the course. I don't know who else was afforded this opportunity, but,it is the owners prerogative to determine that.

Thanks for the review... The course certainly looks nice, from the sidelines. Looking forward to playing it myself.

Wonder how much they paid for the land?

Nicely said.

I'll be closing on January 10th. I can't wait until I get a chance to tee off on the new course.

To answer the comment you replied to County records show in 2002 most of the Bonifay and nearby land, including the future 3 exec courses, was bought for $8.7M and the remainder which also includes land for the next championship golf course was bought for $3.4M.

As to the question about difference does it make that is something I also wondered???

This preview was for all Village employees.This has been done on all of the new course openings.One of the few perks that we have.

I believe the championship courses are all owned by the developer, so he already owned the land.

That makes sense and it's a paper chase where he "sold" the land from one division/tax entity to another profit center.....

Played today. Great course. Liked it very much.

After the round I had a beer and put it on you bond payment. Look for it next year. Boy - do I feel special!
