About this course

The Fort Walton course at Bonifay Country Club is located in The Villages, Florida's sprawling active-adult community in central Florida. Designed by Ron Garl with design associates Clifton and Ezell, the course reflects the development's commitment to providing varied golf experiences across its multiple venues. The Villages has grown into one of the largest retirement communities in the United States, with golf serving as a central amenity, and this course contributes to that portfolio with a layout suited to the region's gently rolling terrain and subtropical climate. The design works within The Villages' characteristic landscape of preserved oak hammocks, natural wetlands, and open fairway corridors. Like other courses in the community, Fort Walton likely emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating strategic elements that reward course management. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes modest by Florida standards, and water features appear throughout in keeping with the area's hydrology and design conventions of the period. The course serves residents of The Villages, where golf is woven into the social fabric of daily life. Multiple tee options accommodate the community's diverse player base, and the layout supports both casual rounds and organized club competitions. The setting reflects central Florida's inland character, with native vegetation framing holes and providing habitat corridors that distinguish individual playing corridors across the property.
