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 deal great round of golf
Took my best friend for a round of golf at Oja Valley Inn for his birthday . It was a great experience for both of us. The staff was helpful and extremely Friendly. The course was in good condition but the greens were surprisingly slow. Great layout and a good pace of play. We finished in 3 1/2 hours on a Sunday. Drinks at the bar are far to expensive but that comes with a resort. Will definitely return.
OJai golf fun
An excellent day of golf here; the course is not that long but offers some design challenges and great aesthetics. It was our first time here, but we will come back soon as we can. greens were in very good condition and had consistent speed. Lots of sand traps, especially on the par 3 # 16
Ojai golf
Great course
Tough layout
Not like Texas
Roland was great...helpful & friendly
Great place to play
Played on a Tuesday during a heat wave so the course was empty. No one in front of me, no one behind me. LOT'S of elevation changes so tough to judge yardage but really fun layout with beautiful views.
Killer Bees
Was attacked by bees on course, they need to get ride of the bees on the course. the course is great.
Excellent starter, course and location
Truly a wonderful day. The starter was very personable and accommodating. The course was in excellent shape, very ciourteous grounds keepers and staff overall. An excellent deal for the price. Highly recommend, except on the day I decide to play....:-)
Can I Go Back Tomorrow?
Awesome George Thomas design. He also designed Riviera CC. I can't believe I haven't played this before. The course and views are so classically beautiful with great bunkering and green designs. Course conditions are excellent. I want to go back tomorrow and play it again.
Ojai Resort Golf Course
This is a beautiful course at a fabulous resort. While you don't need to be a guest in the hotel to play I highly recommend at least one night there if possible.
Fun and Challenging
Great location and a big bonus because it is part of the Ojai Valley Inn. This course was constructed early in the last century and has held up nicely. The first few holes have some arroyo carries with fun elevation changes. The last three holes are very challenging. The 18th in particular is a bit narrow, very long and up hill at the end. A fitting finish. The rest of the course rewards good shots and has ample fairways. Be sure to look around the rooms above the 10 th tee. This was the original golf club house. A nice snack at the pub at a table under the trees near the 13th tee is recommended.
