Originally designed by legendary golf course architect William Park Bell in 1932, Buenaventura attracted golfers until it closed in May 2004, for renovation. Bell collaborated with George Thomas Jr. on the Bel-Air, Riviera and Los Angeles Country Clubs. Evergreen Alliance Golf Limited and the City of Ventura brought in Forrest Richardson, experienced in Bell designs, to redesign Buenaventura Golf Course. Playing at just over 6,000 yards to a par of 70, Buenaventura emphasizes course management and is a shot maker�s delight. Aiming towards design features that were prevalent in the 1930s, the classic shapes and edges now transform the course as if one is stepping back in time.
William Park Bell found a unique way of creating an enjoyable experience for all who visit San Buenaventura. Among his accomplishments, William P. Bell created the La Jolla Country Club, both courses at Brookside Golf Club in Pasadena, the San Diego Country Club and the courses at Torrey Pines. |
