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.

Friendly staff , course in good condition

Staff in the pro shop was friendly & helpful. Pace of play backed up a couple of times on the back nine, but to be expected for the season & many out of towners escaping the heat! Course was in good condition. Fairways & greens are in good condition for the amount of play! Will definitely play again when in the area!

Great round

My friends and I usually get out fridays after work we try change courses with many close by, but rates keep us at the less expensive courses Going out as often as we do .

I was impressed with the shape of the course tee box and green were clean and smooth a few repair spots in fairways but all in all great , pace of play was great we went out with 3 and it took us about half the round to catch the four in front we were still able to get in 18 easy starting at 415, this will now be one of the top courses we go out to for rates and condition you cant go wrong
