Buenaventura Golf Course offers golfers a chance to travel back in time, to the later years of the Golden Age of golf. The design of the course clues savvy golfers into its age, with aesthetics indicative of the 1930s. In fact, it was William Park Bell, the noted course architect and patriarch of the "First Family of Golf Course Design," who crafted this 5,826-yard, par-70 course with pure genius in 1932. Many decades later, in 1995, Forrest Richardson updated the layout, intentionally staying true to form with the course's original intent.

Known to be a "shot maker's delight," Buenaventura Golf Course's parkland-style layout features tree-lined fairways which not only complement the design's beauty but assist in creating a more dynamic and thoughtful approach to the game. With $6.5 million course renovation, six remodeled fairways and the installation of a continuous cart path, Buenaventura Golf Course has successfully modernized an historic golf landmark while preserving its heritage and reputation.

Before your round, be sure to stop by Buenaventura's excellent bent grass practice green to tune up your chips and putts, as the greens here are large and formidable. In addition, you'll find the fully stocked pro shop at the ready, with top-rated gear and attentive service from the knowledgeable staff.

So take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in the historic beauty and contemporary modernization of Buenaventura Golf Course.
