Type Public
Par 70
Length 5826 yards
Slope 117
Rating 68.3

Buenaventura Golf Course originally opened in 1932 as a nine-hole course but closed in 2004 for major renovations. The course's original designer, William Bell, was consulted for the redesign. It was transformed into a more challenging course, but the 1930s design features were carefully preserved. The parkland layout may seem short at just over 6,000 yards but like many of the courses from that era, length is not as important as strategy and course management. The strategically placed bunkers have classic shapes that blend seamlessly into the natural environment as though they were carved by the river. The bunkers combined with the fast, sloping greens make the golf course a shot-maker's paradise. One of Buenaventura's most memorable holes is the par-4 13th. It is one of Bell's original designs, an interesting risk-reward opportunity with water along the right.

Restroom

No restrooms except portable.

So dirty and disgusting.

I am not recommending this place until they get the restroom ready...

Especially ladies, don't go this place..you will lose appetite for a while thinking about this restroom...

Windy weather
Used cart

Carts need to be replaced

All of seats on the carts are torn and are in need of repair

Most all of the windshields are broken and need to be replaced, New carts should be on this course.

We pay a premimum each and every time we play

so why can't the carts be replaced for new ones with lithium batteries ??????

Fantastic condition!

The turf conditions on this course are on par with very expensive Palm Springs or Las Vegas courses. Feels like you’re driving on carpeting. Yours irons will behave in ways you didn’t know they could.
