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.

Thank you Golf Pass! Hole in One!

Thanks to Golf Pass for sending a dozen Taylor Made Tour Response balls with the membership. After over 30 years, I made my first hole in one on #11 from 100 yards. I've always played Pro V1, but after this day, I think I'll continue to give these new balls some play. Thanks again for a bucket list memory. Thanks also to Buenaventura for a very memorable day!

1st time riding the blacks

Had a great round today with my buddy. We got paired up with two local guys that were very friendly and suggested we try it from the blacks. I’m glad we did because the course isn’t super long and actually set up a little better for us from back there. Looking forward to coming back !

Very forgiving , wide open fairways

Soooo

new golfer here and it was nice to only lose one ball during this game as opposed to an entire box at the other coarse's play at ... fairways are very wide, dont get me wrong , the coarse is challenging with lots of bunkers especially around green area and water haz. as well but overall a nice change of pace

Great Fairways

Fairways in great conditions. Greens and tee boxes both good also. Not the most variable 18 hole course, but some really challenging greens once you get around them!
