Ojai Valley Inn
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 veiws, stately trees and great greens
Ojai is a nice little get away town and ojai valley inn has a long and storied history. The course is fun,not to tough. The greens are very good and have hidden tricks (some breaks you can't see).The staff is more than accomodating, the whole experience is 2 thumbs up. JMJ
Best course in Ventura County
This course was absolutely awesome!!!! The entire course was perfect. Couldn't believe the price I got through GolfNow.com. This was the third time I've used GolfNow, but by far the best deal ever. I will continue to use GolfNow in the future!!!!
Deserves it's reputation
The course was wonderful. The staff was so welcoming. You would have thought you were a VIP and not there at a discounted round. It was a super day.
Very nice course, scenic
Helpful staff. Usually in very good condition. Par 3s are very difficult from back tees.
Great Value, worth the drive. Beautiful setting.
Did not play on the 20th due to course maintainance.. Have played several times previously. Always in good shape. A pleasure to play. During the week, early is best. Not crowded.
