I know this has been mentioned before but a warning to anyone sitting outside on the porch at Bonifay.The flies are very annoying and caused me to leave earlier than planned.I talked to another couple on my way out,mentioned this and they said they were heading inside as husband was being pounced on by these flies.I'll try again when Oldies but Goodies are singing there but won't be staying if it's still a problem.I have sat outside at Cody's,O'Shea's,and never a fly problem there.

Don't wear perfume when eating outside. Odor attracts the bugs.

What does that tell you about Bonifay - the flies are inside too and totally annoying. We've found the food at Bonifay just okay. Cody's has great specials and no flies!

I concur with this posting. We were @ Bonifay Saturday evening to listen to the Doo Wop Group and basically the fly/knat problem ruined our evening.

The DOO WOP Group were really terrific,and how they managed to put up with it is a credit to them..hats off to them they are really,really good.

The Bonifay operation must be well aware of this on-going problem, but the bug/fly/knat situation is not the only thing wrong...the food is only, only OK... barely.

Beef Strogonouf on Penne Pasta ?? Come-On it has to be over egg noodles,plus it was TERRIBLE !!

Isn't there something that they can do to safely treat and eliminate the fly problem? Or is cost a problem?

[Phanatic Luvr]

That's why my hubby refuses to go to Bonifly.

[gomoho]

usually a fan will keep the bugs away - they can't fly into the breeze - don't know why they haven't tried this

[kittygilchrist]

they do have fans behind the bar. nevertheless at Saturday's gator gathering one of our members sitting at the bar brought his own fly swatter and used it frequently.

[Fred from Bonifay]

Thank you for voicing your concerns regarding the fly problem at Bonifay.
Our first summer at Bonifay the fly problem was absolutely out of control and we hired Eco Lab pest elimination the leading provider of pest control services in the hospitality industry. After number of treatments with little or no result they brought their experts from their headquarters to review what was going on. In the process I learned a lot from the country club operator who had opened several country clubs in the Villages who informed me this problem occurred at each country club opening. He also informed me that the issue will last more than one year and it will be eliminated over time. This was basically what Eco Lab had told me. The issue from what I had been told is this land was previously cow pasture and it will take time. To which my response was not good enough. We treated, set up traps installed fans and any and all things anybody would suggest and continue to do so. Please know this issue is important and I take it seriously. In addition, if anyone would like to email me I will be glad to address any individual concerns. My team and I appreciate your comments and your patronage. Fredkarimipour@aol.com

Why is that, we don't sit out at bonifay for that reason.

Does Bonifay offer French Flies with their burgers?

Fred; Thanks for your comments. We consider you our neighborhood club and have always had good meals and good times.
Our group of 40 golfers on Thursday nights always have a great time and will be glad when the flies are gone.

It is nice that you appreciate their efforts to rid Bonifay of flies instead of continuing to complain as it is surely a fun and wonderful place for people to meet up. I am sure it will be rectified soon and I appreciate Fred's comments and explanations also.

Look the Restaurant not only has Fly/Gnat problems but the food really is borderline terrible.
The whole idea of going out to dinner is supposed to be a pleasurable experience,Bonifay is like most Restaurants here in the Villages...TERRIBLE..this consensus is held by the Majority of patrons. The problem is: Take it or Leave It..The snowbirds will be returning soon and the problem will continue in this case>> @BONIFAY..Fly's/Gnats and terrible food.
Oh well life goes on.
