Buenaventura Golf Course

A very nice layout with a simple track. Generous fairways and no long rough. Nice sandtraps and just enough water to make you think every now and then. Consistent greens with unough undulation to keep you honest. Oh, and my first hole in one on #11!

Since I am a casual golfer I'm not an expert but I rarely play on weekends due to slow play. Once we got ahead of the slow pokes in front of us (no Marshall on duty) our game steadily improved . As for the course it was exciting with the rolling greens and deep bunkers, kept the challenge of focus and curiosity on each hole. Yes this was my first time at this golf course. Will be playing more often. Staff was very professional and gave us a warm welcome

It's a shot makers course. Well maintained from tee to green. Good value for the money. Great pace of play.

Course is in excellent shape, it's better than I've seen it in a long time. I'll definitely be playing here more often now.

I play here whenever I can. I love the course, set up, length, price, and overall it's just a great place to play. Can't beat the weather either. I have met countless nice people playing here and the staff is great. If you're an average player (20 handicap) then this course is a great mix of challenging and fun.

Not a difficult layout but afternoon winds add a challenge.

The weather was great, and the golf course is nice. The green roll true, and challenging. Everything was good, except they have no driving range, and the staff was aloof.

course is in good shape, greens rolled true but a little slow. great place to escape the heat.

Relatively short course. With a good drive just a mid to short iron in. Well trapped guarding the greens and with decent sand. Water comes into play on some holes.

Great course, great staff. The bunkers were so nice, i "decided" to spend a lot of time there. The only gripe i would have is the $13 you have to pay for a cart if your deal doesn't come with one.

Try the breakfast burrito on the turn, delicious!

this course is guarded by the greens.. very few flat straight putts..
lots of fun.

Course was well maintained and play was at a fast pace. Layout was nice and greens had nice slopes on many holes. Will come back when in the area.

This was the only course I've played in Ventura or Santa Barbara, but I was satisfied. There is a very nice seabreeze, so a light jacket might be needed towards the end of a twilight round. The course is pretty open, the fairways are wide, and outside of the water (which is in play for 4-5 holes), there aren't a lot of places to lose your ball, which is nice. It's also shorter than average, with a couple short par 5s and reachable par 4s, and short par 3s (all of which made a bit more difficult by the location of the sand traps).

Not a bad track. The lady at the counter was somewhat helpful but a little dismissive (As expected from govt employee...)
The course was maintained very well and played nice. Very few if any blemishes. Greens were well maintained and very slow.
My cart was very fast and felt like a race car, enjoyed that. Overall very positive experience, short but challenging. I will play again when I have the chance.

The fairways and the greens are in very good shape. They need help with the bunkers. They have a lot of sand around the outer part but not much in the center.

Loved the course. Excellent shape. Bring your own gps though. Lots of tees to choose from based on driver distance. My wife played with me and said the course was very female friendly with proper tee setup. Yes we would definitely go back.

If you're looking for a nice cool place to play on hot summer days, you would be wise to head to Buenaventura Golf Course. We had a nice onshore breeze and the course was in good shape. It played slow because of the holiday weekend, but we had a very enjoyable experience. We'll be going back. It's not a long course, but it has some challenging holes.

I liked the course a lot, it was in tremendous condition! It is quite short though and on many of the par 4's you lay up with a hybrid or long iron and leave the driver in the bag. It is a great course for practicing the long irons off the tee, but for those who like to grip it and rip it with your driver, you may want to go elsewhere. The grees were deceptively quick, but they rolled true.

We played to 87 degree weather when all surrounding areas were over 100 degrees. Nice ocean breeze.
Nice green fairways, lots of bunkers protecting beautiful undulating greens.
Prices better after 12:30pm.
1st tee announcement is a nice touch.
Overall very enjoyable.

Great short course. (par 70) Greens are in good shape & fairways better than I've seen since course remodel. Friendly staff & good value.
