Rating 69.1

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.

Not for Visitors

No map at the tee or even available, slows the pace of the course. It’s just a guess on some tees on where the pin is. Price during reservation different from what I was charged.

Good Course

This was a fun and quick course to play. I played on a Monday morning and was able to play at my own pace since it was not crowded at all. A couple of the holes were confusing. I ended up playing to the wrong hole at one and didn’t realize it until I almost walked all the way to the green. Since it wasn’t crowded I had time to run back to the tee and hit to the right one. Other than that it was a fun course to play.

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 ??????
