Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) in 3.5H. Surprised the course was not busier considering it was 80, clear and calm. Still CPO.

Tees, Fairways and rough all mostly lush and close to immaculate and getting lusher by the day as the overseeding really takes hold. Course plays very long with moist fairways maintained higher than normal.

Sand here is plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps. Almost always maintained well daily by the staff.

Large Bermuda greens are firm and smooth. Medium fast and they do not usually hold well due to the firmness.

Because this layout is so spread out, you rarely see walkers here. Nice restaurant on site with a good selection @ reasonable golf course prices. Excellent all grass practice area which includes range balls and multiple chipping/putting greens. Carts have all the GPS features one would expect. Customer service always good at this facility. Usually no drink cart on weekdays, snack shop @ the turn is available. Fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) with Gary00 and his son-in-law Grant. Great to see and be able to play with Gary again. POP was 4H, 10M, which is misleading. Marshall came out and told us we needed to speed up on the front because the group behind us complained. Front took 2H, 20M. What they did not know was that we were waiting on almost every tee because of the Super Sr. 4some in front of us that were struggling with the CPO status after overseeding. We jumped that group @ the turn and finished the back in 1H, 50M. 30M quicker on the tougher of the 2 nines? Hope the group who complained about slow play enjoyed their back 9 directly behind that 4some?

Tees, Fairways and rough all mostly lush and close to immaculate. Just a little thin in a few places until the overseeding fully takes. They are just beginning to mow the overseeded areas, so much less roll than normal and the course plays very long with moist fairways maintained higher than normal.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) multiple afternoons this week twilight. Course is getting more packed everyday, so expect 4.5H rounds. Course currently very lush/green after overseeding completed.

Tees mostly lush and close to immaculate. Had plenty of time to fix divots a couple days playing as a 2some or 3some behind 4somes.

Fairways being watered heavily because of the recent overseeding and not yet firm. Plays LONG w/o the normal amount of roll out.

Rough is now thick, nicely maintained and becoming punitive even though maintained fairly low.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.1/135) in around 4.5 H twilight with 2 nice vacationers. 85, clear and just a little breezy made for very comfortable playing conditions. The front 9 just reopened recently after being closed all summer to renovate the sprinkler system. Currently very lush/green after overseeding completed.

Tees mostly lush and level but with unfixed divots on the par 3's already.

Fairways firm. and lush. Not yet cut tight to produce lots of rolls.

Rough is now a good combination of overseed vertical grass mixed with horizontal Bermuda.

Sand very nicely maintained. Plentiful, thick and deep around the greens. Hardpacked on the fairway traps.

Large Bermuda greens are rolling smooth and quick again after the front 9 was closed all summer. Firm with few ball marks because of the firmness.

Fun to play Fazio layout that constantly goes up/down rolling hills to get in 18 on this course. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.3/137) with Abbacat 10/1 and 10/2. POP rarely an issue, and the weather was nice, low 90's both days. Ventana currently down to 18 holes. Canyon course currently closed for over seeding and will reopen 10/9.

Tees mostly lush/level but are less maintained than normal.

Fairways are lush and play firm. Still maintained a little higher than in prime season, which lessens the roll.

Bermuda rough is lush, thick and often penal.

Greenside sand traps nicely maintained with plenty of thick, soft white sand. Fairway bunkers firmer and not as well maintained.

Large Bermuda greens are firm with few ball marks. Smooth and they are rolling really nice again.

Fazio layout that is tough but still fun to play. Only two holes with water but native hazard areas on both sides of most holes make this a penal course if you stray. You can have almost no forced carries or forces carries on every hole on your tee shots, depending on tee selection. More holes play downhill than uphill. Numerous greens run away from the golfer, which creates challenges when they speed them up. Nice GPS on the carts. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Friendly customer service is always present here. On course services only on weekends in high season, but snack shop @ the turn and a nice restaurant onsite. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.3/137) in less than 3H. 100, clear and calm. Fazio layout that is fun to play. Only a few holes with water but native hazard areas on both sides of most holes make this a penal course if you stray. Depending on tee selection, there can be almost no forced carries or forces carries on every hole on your tee shots. More holes play downhill than uphill. Numerous greens run away from the golfer, which creates challenges when they speed them up.

Tees mostly lush/level but are less maintained than normal. Scruffy is my adjective for the way they keep the tees this time of year.

Fairways are lush and play firm. They are cutting them down so that you can again roll down hills instead of stopping. Which is often more bad than good here.

Bermuda rough is lush, thick and often penal.

Greenside sand traps nicely maintained with plenty of thick, soft white sand. Fairway bunkers firmer and not as well maintained.

Large Bermuda greens are firm with few ball marks. Smooth and they have cut they down recently, speed back up to medium fast. Getting to where once the fringes are mowed tight again, aggressive putts toward the front may end up 20 yards down the hill off the green on numerous holes.

Nice GPS on the carts. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Friendly customer service is always very good here. On course services only on weekends in high season, but snack shop @ the turn and a nice restaurant onsite. Recommended.

Rode the Greens on the back Canyon x 2 twilight in 3H. Sunny, high 90's with little breeze.

Tees mostly level/lush but are furry during the summer.

Fairways are lush and not cut as tight as they are in prime season. Still good to play from, just less roll.

Bermuda Rough is lush and can be penal. Can either be a perfect lie or a 1/2 shot penalty within a small area.

Sand is plentiful here and usually very well maintained. Greenside thick and deep, fairways more hardpan.

Greens firm, smooth but putt medium slow. Maintained higher because of the summer heat. Few ball marks because they are firm, so everything releases here.

Carts have upgraded GPS. Friendly customer service on all levels. No on course services, but snack shop @ the turn with a nice restaurant onsite. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Challenging Fazio layout that is up/down rolling hills and fun to play. Almost every hole has lateral hazard native areas, so accuracy is a premium on this layout. Recommended.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.3/137) playing behind a H.S. golf match who were walking. 105 and clear made it nice to find shade while I watched the H.S. kids play. Playing multiple balls made the wait okay and watching the kids play brought back great memories.

Fazio layout that is fun to play. Depending on tee choice, many forced carries. More holes play downhill than uphill and numerous greens run away from the golfer. Only a few holes with water but native hazard areas on both sides of many holes make this a penal layout if not straight.

Tees lush/level but are furry. Better have very long tees! Not bad but definitely less maintained than normal.

Fairways are lush and also higher than usual, decreasing the roll.

Bermuda rough is thick and can be penal.

Greenside sand traps nicely maintained with plenty of thick, soft white sand. Fairway bunkers firmer and less maintained.


Large Bermuda greens are firm with few ball marks. Letting them grow longer in the summer makes them bumpier and definitely slower.

Nice GPS on the carts. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Friendly customer service is always very good here. On course services only on weekends in high season, but snack shop @ the turn and a nice restaurant onsite. Not pristine, but still recommended.

Rode the Greens on the Canyon back twilight. POP was whatever you wanted, did not see another golfer on this 9. Overcast, mid 90's with little breeze made for decent golfing conditions.

First time playing here in 6 weeks and all I can say is WOW... and it's not a good wow either. While many courses would be very pleased with these conditions, this is about as rough around the edges as I have ever seen Ventana.


Tees mostly level/lush but furry from not being cut down recently.

Fairways lush but also furry, So not playing as firm and fast as they normally do. Still good to play from.

Rough is often thick Bermuda and can either be a perfect lie or a 1/2 shot penalty. Within a small area, your ball could be sitting up like on a tee or you practically need to be on top of it to see it.

Sand is plentiful here and nicely maintained. Greenside thick and deep, fairways more hardpan.

Greens firm, smooth but were slow. Did not appear to have been mowed in 1+ days? So you had to whack putts to get them by the hole. Few ball marks because they are firm, so everything releases here.

Carts have upgraded GPS. Friendly customer service on all levels. No on course services, but snack shop @ the turn with a nice restaurant onsite. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Recommended only if you got a good deal on the price until they start mowing more often.

Walked the Blues (71.2/122/6530) with my Gary and Matt. $30 to walk twilight. Partly cloudy, in the 60's with a 2 club wind most of the round. We waited most shots even as a 3some walking behind stacked 4somes in front of us, POP slightly less than 5H.

Tees were lush, level and in good shape with few unfixed divot zones.

Fairways mostly lush, Nicely cushioned and good to play from with a few GUR areas per fairway.

Rough just off the fairways was green, uniform and lush. Get outside the cart paths and it is thick, lost ball vegetation. Nice to see water back in the lakes here as well.

Sand traps have nice beach sand and were well maintained. Only negative is that they could use more sand IMO.

Large poa greens were receptive and rolling nicely. Soft enough that chips/pitches were making ball marks, which many do not think to fix. Many undulations to these greens and we they had some tournament pin locations today.

Very friendly staff is always a + here. Really nice practice areas and you almost always get cooler temps with an ocean breeze. Highly recommend this course, excellent, very fun to play layout.

Rode the Greens (6537/71.3/137) in around 3.5H. 108, breezy and partly cloudy. It was still HOT!

Fazio layout that is fun to play. Only a few holes with water but native hazard areas on both sides of most holes make this a penal course if not straight. Depending on tee choice, many forced carries. More holes play downhill than uphill and some greens run away from the golfer.

Tees mostly lush/level but are less maintained than normal.

Fairways are getting many brown spots. Firm with lots of roll. Still okay to play from, but do not look emerald green like normal in low season.

Bermuda rough mostly mowed down and not overly penal.

Greenside sand traps nicely maintained with plenty of thick, soft white sand. Fairway bunkers firmer and not as well maintained.

Large Bermuda greens are firm with few ball marks. Recently top dressed. Smooth and medium speed, they are what I would call "Summer slow".

Nice GPS on the carts. Excellent all grass practice area that includes multiple chipping and putting greens. Friendly customer service is always very good here. On course services only on weekends in high season, but snack shop @ the turn and a nice restaurant onsite. Recommended.
