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.

Super fun course

This course is an absolute blast. It’s not very long, but requires some good shotmaking. The original course architect also designed courses Los Angeles Country Club and Riviera so the fact that the public gets to play Ojai Valley Inn is a real treat. Not to mention the course being located within a true 5 star resort! I drive 75 miles each way regularly to play this course and I’d consider it my home course even though there are dozens of other courses closer to where I live.

Guest Danger

Playing holes 12 and 13, we had random guests and their children running on to the Course, during live play. I would hope, for the safety of their guests, this issue should be addressed immediately!

Ring Plenty of Balls

The course has several ravines and if you just miss the fairway plan on hiking down to retrieve your ball. Overall condition of the course was good but for the price I cannot recommend playing here. If you want to play in the area check out Soule Park. $49 and is way more fun to play.

Great course, but aeration has just occurred.

Wish the app was smart enough to tell us the course was recently punched. Tees were all sand and greens were not putt worthy.

Classic and challenging course!

We love playing this course, not only for the challenge but the beauty that lies in and around the entire property. It's the type of round that we always wish didn't end after 18 holes! Well worth the price!
