About

Opened in 1923, Ojai Valley Inn Golf Course is one of California's first great courses. Over the decades that the course has been open, it has hosted a number of professional players and celebrities ranging from Arnold Palmer to Will Smith. George C. Thomas, Jr., who created the Riviera, collaborated with Billy Bell to design the original golf course but Jay Morrish made the layout considerably more challenging with renovations in 1988. Ten years later, two holes from the original Thomas/Bell layout that were lost during a redesign following WWII were completely restored and incorporated into the layout. The challenging golf course is very narrow in some spots and it features undulating greens that putt fast and true. The layout is not particularly long but it requires accuracy and proper club selection in order to score well.

Great Golf But Overpriced

This rating may be a little harsh as the course was in great condition and the staff was amazingly helpful and friendly. Pace of play was good.

Sounds like a 5 star but my only complaint is the price. Got a Hot Deal at $99 per round but that seemed well overpriced for me. I know you are paying for the atmosphere and I get that because it is a beautiful place but still too much for me.

Easy on the Eye - just not from the Tees

Great course in top condition. All the off course benefits of a 5 star resort at your beck and call. Great staff.

Layout is tough but fair and it is gorgeous - until you put the peg in the ground. The course has many holes that play with your eye off the tee. Not optical illusions, just very few “standard” eye lines on the holes. There’s a majestic oak blocking your fade - or a deep ravine on the hook side - or a blind dog right that requires a drive left to catch a slope. And who knew an inland course in drought stricken SoCal could have an island green to rival any PGA course (#16).

Makes for a challenging layout.

Punched greens recovering

Greens punched recently but overall the course was in phenomenal condition. Always a pleasure to play especially on a hot deal.
