“We are excited to be making dramatic improvements, starting with the course itself,” says Don Griffin, president of the Bonita Fairways Golf Club, in the statement. “Current plans include a full renovation of the pro shop, café and course to make it the premier executive golf course in Bonita Springs.”

Travis Snyder, who holds a Bachelor of Science in PGA golf management from Florida Gulf Coast University, was named director of golf for the facility. Bonita Fairways Golf Club is a public 18-hole executive course on 75 acres. Gordon Lewis designed the 3,400-yard, par 61 course.
