Bonmont at Plantation Bay at Club de Bonmont at Plantation Bay

Bonmont at Plantation Bay is a Lloyd Clifton and Steve Smyers design located within the Plantation Bay residential community in Ormond Beach, along Florida's Atlantic coast north of Daytona Beach. The course opened in the mid-1990s as part of a larger development that includes multiple golf courses, and it represents a collaboration between Clifton, known for his work throughout Florida, and Smyers, who gained recognition for his naturalistic design approach and attention to strategic variety.

The layout occupies gently rolling terrain unusual for coastal Florida, with elevation changes that provide natural movement and drainage. The routing incorporates native vegetation, wetlands, and mature tree corridors that define playing corridors and create a sense of separation from the surrounding residential areas. Water features appear throughout the design, typical of Florida golf, but the architects worked to integrate them as strategic elements rather than purely aesthetic hazards.

Plantation Bay operates as a private residential community, and Bonmont serves primarily members and their guests. The course reflects the priorities of a resident membership, with playable conditions and strategic interest balanced against the demands of daily play. The club facilities support the golf experience with dining and social amenities typical of Florida country club developments from this era.

The Ormond Beach location places Bonmont within a region dense with golf options, from historic seaside courses to modern residential layouts, and it functions as one component of the broader Plantation Bay golf offerings for residents.
