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.

Just a beautiful place to play! Golf staff are the best, always friendly and helpful.
Beautiful and Difficult Course
Had a great deal through golfnow.com and got to play this gem of a course for peanuts. The course, in mid-July no less, was in excellent condition: greens rolled perfectly, fairways were pristine. It's a tough course -- not very long, but demanding. Glorious old trees everywhere, and you have to play strategically. Knowing the course really helps here, as you can be in deep trouble even from the fairway, if you are on the wrong side of it. The greens are mostly pretty small, and since they are also fast, good iron play is a must. Playing this course for anything less than $75 is an absolute steal.
Shangri-La
Beautiful course and location, meticulously maintained, challenging but fair. Could not beat the price or value paid on GolfNow for playing a high end course like this.
Ojai is the best
GolfNow Hot Deal $60 for my son and I to play with their $10 replay we played twice. I’m not a fan of kykui fairways, but the greens made up for it, perfect greens. As always customer service is top notch. I highly recommend this course.
Challenging course
My husband and I visit the Ojai resort every couple of years and always love our experience here. Course layout has changed since we’ve been here last and the first hole is definitely a challenging one. Holes 16,17,& 18 are a great addition on the back side. Highly recommend this course for those looking for a challenge.
4th of July

Relaxing Scenic SoCal Gem

Amazing golf in Ojai
My wife and I traveled a great distance to spend time in Ojai; specifically to play golf here.
The course lives up to its pedigree. Conditions were superb. I love old classic courses that test all aspects of your game. This is well worth it.
Perfect day in Ojai
Perfect weather. Good golf and beautiful scenery and golf course.
Perfect golf course
The pictures and the reviews do not do this course any justice. This is one of the beat courses I have played in a long time. I'm a 5 handicap and it tests my game everytime. Must play!! every inch of this course is unbelievably beautiful. Everybody is very friendly as well. Carts play music and tell your yardage. chipping and putting practice
Amazing scenery
It reminded me of playing in Banf in the Rockies
very pretty Course and some very testing holes
Friendly and not too difficult
Great condition after a lot of rain
I would definately come back and play again
Beautiful course-beautiful day!
Lovely lush course and surroundings! Very friendly and helpful staff!
Fun Course, Great Greens and Challenging
6300-yards and lots of challenges. It’s getable, but beware! The greens don’t feature a ton of break, but they’re true.
