That said I have always held off until my wife gifted lessons with "Golf Tips Made Simple". I even waited months before acting on the gift. However when I did I could not have been happier. Brian is so patient, helpful, and aware of the mistakes I continue to make. He is a great ambassador of the sport and really wants you to have a good time! I feel I grow with every lesson, and his commitment to making me and my wife better is amazing. He even calls us to check if we got a chance to go out on our own, and want to know how we're feeling about it. I am so excited and confident to one day be able to put together a game that allows me to compete with my peers at work and friends. Thanks Brian for you great tutelage!

Good God this place makes my blood boil. I would GENUINELY rather play golf in the heart of…read moreAfghanistan in 2004 than spend 5 minutes here. I had a tee time at 12:08 and did not get to swing the golf club until 12:45. This place might be hell on earth. Not only is the pace slower than a horse with no legs, the conditions are that of the 126 freeway. Not a single blade of Bermuda grass to be seen. If you're one that likes to hit from grass, do NOT come here. You are SERIOUSLY better off going to Huntsinger and hitting clubs. If you wish to waste your money, I recommend Morongo Casino out the so-cal desert.

Start with the greens, if you can call them that. Rather than the smooth, consistent surfaces one…read moreexpects to putt on, you're met with a blotchy, uneven mess patches of thinning, discolored turf scattered across the surface like the green itself is suffering from some kind of chronic skin condition, all bald patches and inflamed splotches, as if psoriasis or alopecia had taken hold of the turf. Reading a putt here isn't a matter of skill; it's a matter of luck, because no amount of green-reading ability accounts for a surface this poorly maintained. The driving range fares no better. The mats are worn through, the turf beneath them is patchy and hard, and hitting off of it feels less like practice and more like penance. The equipment doesn't help matters. The push carts are relics, and the motorized carts aren't much of an improvement sluggish, battered, running on batteries that seem perpetually on the verge of dying mid-round. And when I tried to rent one myself with a valid license in hand I was flatly refused because I'm under 18. Fine. Rules exist. But when I asked, reasonably, whether I could rent one under my parent's name instead, the staff didn't just say no they laughed. Openly. In my face. That kind of contempt for a paying customer isn't an oversight; it's a culture. The grounds themselves are no better maintained than the equipment. There's an active construction zone bordering part of the course, and the surrounding area is littered with trash along the sidelines. The lakes on the property sit empty and stagnant, more of an eyesore than a water feature at this point if the course can't be bothered to keep them filled, it says a lot about where their priorities are. I also came across two dead birds during my round, which says something about the general upkeep of the place. There were also several people loitering around the course grounds, which didn't exactly add to the sense that this is a well-managed, well-supervised facility. And then there's the matter of restrooms or the lack thereof. There are no real facilities on this course, just a scattering of porta potties, while the one or two actual restrooms on-site sit locked and inaccessible for the entire round. Between the diseased-looking greens, the derelict range, the neglected grounds, and a staff that treats basic customer questions with open ridicule, Buenaventura isn't just an underwhelming round of golf it's an insult to anyone who pays to walk through the gate. I won't be back. Genuinely, I hope they get their act together fill the lakes, clean up the grounds, and treat their customers with a shred of respect because right now, I'd be surprised if anyone books a tee time there again.

I ask if maybe I could speak to a manager and she gave me the pro shop number that let back to her. It seemed like she was enjoying here power trip. For a course that plays the "sorry" card because they were flooded in 2023, they sure know how to drive their customers away.

As an athlete my entire life it was my presumption that with proper instruction I would acquire a…read morefirm foundation of the golf swing. Therefore, eager to begin my golf journey I obtained golf instruction from Vanilla Gorilla Golf, as it seemed the most economical at the time. However, like the old cliché goes you get what you pay for. Understanding you can't learn golf in one lesson I signed up for a six-lesson package. Two out of those six lessons were spent working on the full swing. The four others included a putting, chipping, sand play, and on course lesson. Lessons are accompanied with a video review that includes voice commentary. Although I found it odd that I had to wait until after the lesson for an evaluation. It seems that perhaps an advanced teacher would be able to tell you how to improve during the lesson and make proper adjustments to do so. The on course lesson was rushed as we skipped from hole to hole awkwardly cutting in front of other golfers on the course in order for my instructor to get his video shot quickly. The one positive was the putting lesson. However, overall the true measure of an instructor is the progress of their students. For me, my minimal at best progress was accompanied with statements like "well looks like we need to sign you up for another package". Statements that help you see the true motivations of a businessman rather than a teacher. The techniques presented by Vanilla Gorilla Golf are non-existent in my current golf game, everything from the set up, grip, back swing, downswing and follow through. Currently I am not a PGA professional and will never be. Nevertheless, I am able to maneuver around a golf course with considerably less stress than when working with the Vanilla Gorilla "one plane swing". After cutting my losses and endeavoring on alternative instructional techniques that have allowed for success I would say skip the claims of becoming a better golfer in just one lesson. One last cliché; if it sounds to good to be true it probably is.

Right away, Jim took the time to explain how everything works and walked me through the different club options, including the pros and cons of each. Even though the store was very busy with a lot of customers, he never made me feel rushed and took great care of me throughout the entire process. What I appreciated most was that he never tried to upsell me or push me toward the most expensive clubs. Instead, he genuinely listened to what I needed and recommended the set that was the best fit for me. Customer service like this is hard to find these days. I highly recommend Roger Dunn, and honestly, a big reason why is Jim. If you're new to golf or looking for honest advice, ask for Jim--you'll be in great hands!

The place has good business with nice customers, who care about the place and bring great tennis. Mark always cared about the clients and always had the latest information on racquets. recently I came in on a Sunday to watch my son's League play to find another coach in charge. He instructed the boy at the front desk to wash courts, and the boy responded that he had jeans/close toed shoes on and wasn't dressed for washing courts because he wasn't told in advance that he'd be washing courts. The coach responded, "just roll up your jeans and go barefoot." The coach later instructed another girl to help him, and she replied that she wasn't dressed for it either and didn't have sandals, and that "sometimes there's glass on court." The man dismissed her comment with a sarcastic response and complained about her coworker to her: "he doesn't want to wash courts because he's not dressed for it. can you believe it? All you have to do is go barefoot and roll up his jeans." The courts should be washed more often than OTC does in my opinion, but I believe it's a serious liability for both the company and the employees. I couldn't believe the manager's sarcastic response.......... He didn't care about the safety of his employees!!! And what kind of manager gossips about other employees to others? So unprofessional. It was WAY better when Mark was running the place. If you come to OTC watch out. They should really treat their employees better. I don't know how they can take care of their customers if they don't care about their employees just as well.
