Ojai Valley Inn

Strongly suggest booking this course to play in the middle of the week for $55. Not saying that this course isn't worth the higher price tag you would pay without the HotDeal, because it is. With all of the rain we have had in Southern California this winter, the mountains around Ojai are just spectacular right now to play OVI! Hurry up and go now.

I've played this great course many times. It was designed by SoCal's legendary designer Captain George Thomas in the 1920's.

When playing this past Friday I found out that they had changed/ruined the 18th hole. They built a new huge wedding venue and in doing so, dramatically changed one of the greatest holes in California. The person that laid out the new 18th hole should be forbidden from ever designing any future golf holes.

Most people won't care, and that is fine, but to rip up the original hole is really questionable decision making.

Be careful on your 1st putts! Had many 4footers coming back.

Classic design and unique hole layout - relatively tight - greens are fast and.smooth - major complaint and 3 star rating is due to condition of fairways - quality of grass is marginal might be due to early season and weather conditions - but needs a better strain of grass to make this course a 5 star - all other amenities and staff are excellent

Long round behind several oblivious groups. Absolutely zero marshals/pace of play enforcement. Lots of construction going on, (talking, carts starting in your backswing etc). Fairways are coming around and greens were very nice. Some bunkers could use a refill on sand.

The entire property needs more/better signage for non-resort guests to find the golf shop/facilities. The staff was less than eager to assist in directing me to the right locations for the driving range/first tee etc. Also, despite asking several times, it was an ordeal just to find out who I was playing with (I showed up as a single).

All in all, I enjoyed the day. The course is not worth the full rack rate because of the lack of

Organization and assistance from the golf shop/golf valet staff.

A perfect day of golfing on one of the finest courses in Southern California !

Breathtaking course nestled in the Ojai mountains. Not long, but shot making is the emphasis. Greens are quite fast but true.

A couple of things to be aware of:

- construction going on along the 9th and 18th fairways. They are building stuff.. On 9 this can be an issue on 2nd shot left side. On 18 it’s the drive and right side.

- 16 is a spectacular par-3. Most misses in any direction will result in OB, hazard, or bunker. It’s the 4-handicap but IMHO it is the hardest hole on the course and should be handicap-1

Excellent course regular price $180 Groupon $89 Golf Now $55!! Cant beat it.

We had a great time again on this beautiful but challenging golf course! Second time this month and can't wait to play here again soon!

There's a plaque on the course with a quote from George Thomas. To summarize, the designer touts the course as his best design, "Not a weak hole on the entire course" (I paraphrase). It's a great layout, in very good condition. Scenic, and the weather this time of year is incredible.

Beautiful course! Best course I have EVER played!! Greens were in winter condition but rolled true! Friendly and helpful staff! Course is a shot makers course, don't remember ever using as many variety of hybrids and woods before . I brought a groupon deal that got me a round of golf, cart, bucket of ball's, and beer for $80 bucks, a unbelievable deal!

Will definitely be back!!!

Chamber or Commerce day for Ojai and the course. Friendly staff, course in great condition.

The course holds up well against more modern designs. The setting is spectacular and the course condition is very good to excellent. The greens were recently punched but are VERY healthy - once the defects heal over these are going to be some of the best greens in the area!
