Sent out two twosomes in a row - told them to join up during round but they never did - told the pro shop at the turn but no one came out to help - course not worth $80 a person

Played on a Wednesday around noontime. Staff was very professional and friendly. Course was in very good condition. Pace of play was just average, we had a three some in front of us, one playing from blue, one from white and one from green. They did to much talking too. We had a little snack afterwards at the cafe. I wish Olivas Links would follow your lead with: better clubhouse, better restrooms and a cafe that actually serves food.

Everything was good but pace of play - foresome in front of us were hitting from white tees - should have hitting from gold if not red -

Everything was fine except golf cart. 1) the brake would not work properly 2) front window bracket was missing a bolt - on both carts

Price was fair / pace of play fair - twosome in front of us - we were threesome and a twosome behind us - ???
Ate at the cafe after round - it was good
Would play again

Surprised we played Victoria Lakes today - usually GolfNow puts us on Vineyard - course was in good condition - only complaint was the foursome in front of us were playing blue tees - should have been playing white tees at best - maybe even gold - so they were all over the place and slow

Played on a pretty hot day / course was dried out with lots of roll on your ball / greens were fast / restaurant only open until 4 pm / starting time was 11:50 / could not finish in time to eat / used points from GolfNow or it would have been too much money for this course

Should you get a $$$ break if all 18 greens are aerated and sandy? Some dry fast sand, other wet slow sand - putting was difficult at best.

Getting a cart is a pain - they are never ready - I want to get my cart - go out to the parking - put my shoes on - pack my bag into the cart - take my time - no - they don't have the carts ready until maybe 5 minutes before your round starts - so I have to drag my bag from the parking lot and wait around until they call my name / then have to quickly put my stuff on the cart and hurry to the starter - got to be a better way

Nice fairways - good greens - friendly staff - great value (special on Golfnow) - beautiful area/scenery - would play there again

11:23 tee time - checked in 10:45 - told it was to early to get cart - had to drag our bags from car - people show up and just jump into carts - finally at 11:35 was called to pick up cart and start our round -

Played Victoria Lakes - course and greens in good shape - weather was beautiful - can't complain about thst

11:30 hot deal time at Buenaventura golf course in Ventura. Everything was good except pace of play which could have been faster.

Almost 5 hours for 18 holes - slow

Still don’t understand why they charge $16 a person for cart - should be $16 per cart period

Course was in good shape. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were will kept. Secondary rough was ok. Sand traps were not racked (because of COVID-19) so were able to take out and play without penalty - a good call.
Overall a good day for golf.

Good - staff friendliness, value

Bad - course was light in attendance but starter still wanted to pair everyone up - then put a single behind us - could have done twosome

Ugly - the rough - have not mowed the rough in a while - even lost a ball in the fairway

The good - price

The bad - greens, fairway rough, sand traps

The ugly - pace of play - 4 hours for a par 61 course

Wanted to get to know course so just played 9 holes. Reasonable $, good course and competent staff. Will return to play 18 shortly.

Rock hard greens - sand traps that are more like dirt but good value and I would play there again

My wife and I are average golfers. We were following a threesome that probably should have been on a driving range or a small 3 par course and they were hitting from blue tee boxes. In front of them was a all walking foursome, so to say it was a slow pace is an understatement. No marshall the whole day.
