Great Budget Course - Needs a Marshall

Course was fun and greens were in good shape. But too many people jumping around different holes and we ended up waiting to tee off numerous times - or had other golfers breathing down our neck. Hopefully they get a Marshall soon to get the groupings under more control.

Greens punched - needs more time

Overall decent value but the greens were punched at end of March and still pretty chapped. Needs a few more weeks before they're back rollin better. Take out some of the break as they roll straighter than they look right now. Your welcome!

Staff friendliness

I was not given friendly help at all. I was told to tee up at hole #1 at 10:41. I went to get my clubs and the group I was supposed to play with took off. I went to the club house and they told me tto catch up with the 2 some. Another player also missed out with the 10:50 time. We both had tu o catch up with the 2 some. We started out on hole number 3. The twosome was on there second shot on hole #2..
Also it was very slow the two some decided to quit because I'd pace of play. I had to.play by myself so I decided to leave too. I was treated un fairly. I thought I should get a rain check. Cause I never would have finished my 18 holes.

Slowest Round Ever

I've been here a few times and always enjoy my round. However this last visit was not so favorable. The greens were great per usual, but the fairways were dry as a bone. Tee'd off at 12:50 and was not able to finish with sundown being about 5:40. from the second hole on, we waited for the group in front to tee off, by the time we got to the first par 3, there were 3 groups piled up. This happened at every par 3 on the course. it took 2hr and 50mins mins to get through the front 9. It was brutal. its going to be tough to bring myself back with a round this slow. get a marshal out there. this was the slowest round I've ever played. no exaggeration

Condition

The course needs work around the greens, too much dead and under repair conditions. On the flip side, the greens themselves were very well maintained.

Buenaventura review

I have played this course for the first time in about 10 years. It is better than I remember. Greens were in good condition, had interesting undulations and rolled nicely. The fairways are in good shape, but in some areas, there are patches that need to be manicured. Due to Covid; patrons are not raking traps, so maybe management needs to start notifying players to fix ball marks and rake traps. I played as a single and was paired with a group of really good people.
Birthday and a good day! Shot 71.
Will play again!

Good Value

Play here often. Staff friendly, course in above average shape, new sand (nice) tee boxes could use some grading work (don't be scared to level them off and reseed every other month) in a year you could have 18 nice looking tee boxes.
If you're looking for a good value in Ventura County this is a good place. short course but plenty of challenge with the approach shot... greens in great shape and roll quicker than they look.
# 10 long par 5 always plays tough with the wind!
