Over the years, Buenaventura Golf Club has diligently strived to create a welcoming environment akin to home for its visitors. Whether through tournaments, leagues, classes, or casual rounds with professionals or friends, our aim remains to provide everything necessary for players to not only enjoy their game but also cherish the moments spent with us.

Here are six testimonials from expatriates residing in Panama who are regular players at the club.

Melissa Turgeon

After five years here, I can confidently say that this is the finest course in Panama, and I return whenever possible. The tournaments are exceptional, and the course conditions are consistently superb. It’s not just a great place for families; it’s an outstanding community.

The staff goes above and beyond to ensure you feel valued and attended to. And the course itself? It’s truly exceptional—long, challenging, and renowned worldwide. People from all corners of the globe come to play here because of its stellar reputation.

In short, it’s a great environment to be a part of.

Brandon Sheehan

I’ve been a member of the club for a year now, and I must say, both the course and the practice area are in exceptional condition. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming. When I first joined, I didn’t know anyone and wasn’t sure what to expect. However, I’ve since met some fantastic people with whom I now regularly play.

Sometimes, I come alone to practice or play a quick round, but what I enjoy most is the opportunity to socialize and participate in the incredible tournaments. Overall, it’s definitely a fantastic place to be.

The camaraderie among the expats and locals here is remarkable. The facilities are top-notch, and the beauty of each hole is truly captivating. The course management is welcoming and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We all feel like friends on this golf course, making it a genuine pleasure to be here.

Simone

In the beginning, starting out with practice here is incredibly relaxing. Listening to the birds chirping serves as a nice distraction while practicing and striving to improve your game. Initially, I viewed this as more of a social activity, but over time, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for golf. The clinics, the instructors, and the expat women’s league have all contributed to my enjoyment. I’ve established many friendships and had far more fun than I initially anticipated.

Brett Ironside –  Jennifer Ironside

We joined Buenaventura as members because the course surpasses others in the beach area by a significant margin. We were members of the other two courses for over five years. It’s important to highlight this distinction so that people understand. In Canada, we’re accustomed to public courses with lower standards of upkeep, as well as private ones that are meticulously maintained.

Buenaventura embodies the latter. The maintenance of the fairways, the quality of service, and one significant difference is the package they’ve tailored for foreigners. By being members here, our entire group of friends can also become members, a feature not available at other clubs. We’ve formed many Canadian and American friendships here, providing us with weekly playing partners and a sense of camaraderie.

We’ve developed numerous friendships, and Buenaventura unquestionably stands out as the premier golf course in the beach area. The community continues to expand, with new members joining daily. It’s incredibly enjoyable due to the frequent tournaments offering enticing prizes, and the constant activity ensures there’s never a dull moment. This dynamic atmosphere makes it a destination where you’re inclined to spend the entire day.
