About
Situated along the Ventura Harbor overlooking the Santa Clara River, Olivas Links (formerly known as Olivas Park Golf Course) enjoys coastal breezes that make it cool in the summer and warm in the winter, providing perfect conditions for golf year-round. The golf course has a links-style layout that closely follows the natural swales and curves of the landscape and separated by bands of fescue and wild grasses. The course is mostly open but there are some large pine trees scattered throughout. Its seaside location subjects the golf course to strong winds, especially on the front nine. The challenging layout offers multi-tiered greens and contoured mounding along the fairways. There are also deep bunkers strategically placed throughout Olivas Links, but the openness of the course places a stronger emphasis on hitting the right spot on the fairway or getting the correct angle of approach to the green rather than avoiding the bunkers.

Golfer Reviews
Course in great shape
Everything was great but slow. 2 groups on tee box on every hole.
Fun day got a great deal
Enjoy playing Olivas very pleasant weather
Greens still recovering from being punched should be great in a week or two. Not too many people rake the traps these days , bad etiquette or laziness , go figure . Will return soon,
Great Value/Slow play
Price was great, course in excellent shape after aeration a few weeks ago. Played behind several girls' high school teams and we waited on every tee box with guys teeing off. Quit after 15 holes and 5 hours!
Great course
Love playing there but I set up the tee time on golfnow and I wasnt told that I would be playing the front 9 twice. Probably would have played somewhere else.
Such a fun course
While not really a traditional links course, this is nonetheless links-ish (built on sand, near the ocean, afternoon winds, undulating terrain. The rough is not too thick, however, and there are trees lining most fairways. But who cares if it's the dictionary definition of links? It's a well kept course with firm and fast greens and a great layout. For the money and at a public course, the course conditions are excellent.
Bunkers
The bunkers are in desperate need of sand.
Other then that the course is in great condition
Course in great condition and the weather was great really like playing late afternoon . The 70°temperature was perfect and the sunset on the way home was pretty

First time at Olivia’s Links. What a well maintained course. From the tee boxes to the aprons around the greens. So clean and plush! Balls in the fairway sat up so nice. I’m not use to having this being a rancho park frequent player. The greens were holding very well and rolled so true, balls were not bouncing on the way to the cup and where you rolled it it went clean. There is a large chipping green with sand trap and a large putting green. If you get the chance, make this park of your golfing plans. You will be happy you did. I will be back. Fore sure. Played in 4&1/4 hours great pace.
There is no clubhouse or food, so pack your lunch and bring your sodas. Your gonna have fun.
The course is in great shape
The weather was very nice and the price reasonable
Will return , fun course
