Ojai Valley Inn

I spent about one and a half hours to get there by driving mostly on highways. Given the driving distance and the amount you should pay, I DO NOT recommend that you play there. If it's located in urban area, the course won't be popular. I just went there again to evaluate my golfing ability since I recorded the worst score last time due to the unfamiliarity of the course. Three Par 3 holes out of four are extremely short and most par 4 and par 5 holes are short. Good thing is that you can enjoy the ambience of private courses. You are not pushed to pick up the pace of your play but may finish a round in 4 hours. I bet the course evaluation is exaggerated because of the ambience of resort courses.

Course was in fantastic shape and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Quite a few forced carries which can be avoided by playing the forward tees if a less challenging set up is desired. Fantastic views.

Rode the blues in 3 hours, with my son. This was our second time playing in as many weeks. Again country club conditions as we basically had the course to ourselves. The staff here truly is the best, I’ve never had close to a bad experience here. The starter let us out an hour early off of the back. The course is in wonderful shape tee to green. The are constantly doing maintenance up until 3pm which I’ve rarely seen. Tees were level, traps were immaculate, greens riolled true with hardly any ball marks. I used my free voucher, this course keeps me on GolfNow. Staff was saying they may ditch GolfNow. If anyone from GolfNow is reading this if you lose ojai you lose me lol. I highly recommend this course.

Played on a basically empty course today in perfect 70 degree weather. Ojai is extremely challenging, especially around and on the greens. The scenery is unbelievable, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I don’t have a single complaint other than I don’t get to play it again tomorrow. Outstanding golf experience all around.

Fun course to play. Strategic layout, you can’t use your Driver on every hole. The greens are quite small and fast. If you’ve never played you can get a cheat sheet from the starter, giving you tips on strategy.

Rode the blues in 4 hours teeing off at 12. Staff here is always fantastic. I’ve played here over 10 times and have never had a bad experience. Course was empty due to the weather. Tee boxes were level, fairways were in good shape. Greens were excellent, most traps were flooded. I recommend this course on a hot deal.

Layout is not bad but you'll have no clue where to hit a ball and which club you need to pull out for the first two holes. A golf cart has a monitor but it does not show a picture with yardage about holes. They just made the greens extremely fast so as to ruin your game by taking advantage of downhill and uphill slopes. Fairways are well maintained. I DO NOT recommend you play there unless you have an opportunity to visit the nice Ojai town. The fair price is $50 at the most.

Great facility, Great Golf Course, in great shape. Staff very friendly and co-operative. Driving range and practice putting green very good. Great value

Beautiful golf course, great views, challenging Only one complaint, no sand in the bunkers.

Perfect weather day in beautiful surroundings.

Starters, Roland and Mark, friendly and professional as always.

I had the course all to myself. Greens fairways bunkers and tee boxes all in excellent condition. Played 18 holes in three hours. Beautiful setting. Interesting layout. Lots of golf history.. I’m planning to organize a group outing. I was impressed.

You have ruined #18, I think you know that. The least you could do was get the new tee box level, but that's not the case, so please fix it. There are some other tee boxes that need work as well. Some of them have almost no grass (17, 3, 2, 6,)

Course in average condition. Punched greens and tee boxes without advance notice from staff. Nine good holes and 9 destroyed holes from original design. Had high hopes and was disappointed, frankly. Clearly a hotel owner with secondary interest in the course. Go to Soule Park or Rustic Canyon

Big mistake moving the tees forward in 18 just to accommodate some wine barn. You have ruined a great finishing hole.

Great course. Lots of fun. Highly recommended if you are in the Ventura / Santa Barbara area. A little slow play on Saturday afternoon, which was not normal.

Played when they they were starting to aerate the greens so it was very disappointing to play on my birthday with my wife. Normally I really enjoy playing here. I don't fault the golf course for doing its due diligence, but I DO fault GolfNow for not making it more informative that it was being aerated and there was no discount if any involved. Yes I understand there was a little insignia in the corner indicating that it was being aerated but it's not very noticeable. BE BETTER!!

Consistent great golf experience, starting with the golf staff. ALWAYS friendly and accommodating.
