Buenaventura Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Love it!
I always enjoy playing this course! The fairways are always in good shape, the greens are receptive, and puts roll pretty true. Bunkers actually have real sand in them and there are plenty of scoring opportunities. Great course and a good value!!
Good day for golf
Course was in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were will kept. Secondary rough was ok. Sand traps were not racked (because of COVID-19) so were able to take out and play without penalty - a good call.
Overall a good day for golf.
Easy walking course
Buenaventura is in excellent shape and the walking is easy - flat layout.
Always great people to meet up with and play.
Great shape
First time back to Buenaventura’s golf course walkingI. I made it. I was so surprised that the fairways where in such good condition as well as the greens. Can’t wait to Covid golf again at Buenaventura.
Great day
The course was in excellent shape. And the pace was great
Reliable, Walkable and Enjoyable
Always enjoyable, fairways and greens in good condition. Flat and not too long so easily walk-able in today's COVID environment.
The course is in good shape. I enjoyed the walk. I would like to play again.
The course is ready to play
The condition of the course reflects the pride of management and staff workers. It was a pleasure to play although with 5 artificial joints I could have enjoyed a cart, hopefully it won’t be too much longer and we will return to normalcy.
Very enjoyable
Great course for the price...wide open for most shots...several challenges with water and bunkers around greens. Played with 2 locals, John and Mike who made me feel welcome...broke 90 (88) which is good for me this early in the year (3rd round since November)
Fun course
Fun course,a little challenging. Came to play as a twosome,got stuck with 2 players. Would rather not. Overall good course to play.
great round
Great job on course...please lets get attention to the sand in the sand traps.
Buena review
Great day after lots of rain course held up
Ourse In Good Shape
Greens in good shape. Pace of play was good. We had a great time.
Great Shape
The course is in great shape right now. The greens are especially good, although they play a bit slow so make adjustments.
Price is great for the conditions and the pace.
Double Dip
Paid for foursome. 1 of my golfers failed to show thought we should play as a threesome. They put somebody with us so therefore they made double the mine on my dime.
