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.

Great conditions

Cool weather and perfect greens, tees, and fairways make for a great day of golf. The 3 gentlemen I was paired with were friendly and hot from the whites. Love that. No need to make a round harder by adding yardage.

Love This Course

This course is always in great shape. My only complaint is the sand in the bunkers could be a little softer. But I guess that I need to stay out of the bunkers. The greens are always nice and soft, but I wish players would fix their ball marks. Great course to lower your handicap. The staff is so friendly and inviting.

Great value

This course is a gem. Very green year round. Really good sand quality. Not the dirt junk that a lot of other courses have in their ‘sand traps’, but real playable sand.

It’s a terrific walking course.

The greens are in great shape and pretty fast-fun fun fun.

Finally, it’s reasonably priced and the staff are nice people who want you to enjoy the experience.

I’ll see ya there!
