Olivas Links Golf Course

Well, played here for the first time and I must say, the previous reviews are correct…keep it between the hash marks (fairway) or pay a penalty. My T-time was 724am and the wind was blowing pretty good; had to club-up 1or2 clubs for knock-down shots that worked well. For the most part everything is pretty much in front of you; but again, you better hit your shots on-line and keep it in front of you to have good approach shots into the greens.

Pace of play was good but, felt a little rushed which made the “feel part of the game” a little hectic. A mental and emotional part of the game to overcome.

Overall played pretty solid with a score of 77. Not bad for a 12 handicap…my best score ever!

You’ll enjoy playing here – Tee shots are premium for potential scoring opportunities.

Play was excellent. Can score well but must keep ball close to fairways. You can play draw and fade but keep it in play. Good course for straight ball hitters. Less than 1 mile to Ventura Harper Village. Great seafood after round of golf.

Love this course and only play it sparingly. I forgot how nice it is maintained. Some fairway and teebox grass is so tight you can hardly pinch a few blades to measure wind direction. Hardly a straight putt to be had on the rolling greens, which were consistent all day long. Had a great time and am already planning to come back within the next two weeks! The course has interesting holes and it will reward good shots. Plan your attack for each hole and avoid trouble off of the tee and good scores can be had!

Played at Olivas Links after not being there for a while. I was amazed at how green and good the fairways and greens were considering the shortage of water in California. There use of reclaimed water and being right next to the ocean have kept this course in pristene condition. Tee boxes were in perfect shape as if there was a PGA event taking place. Really enjoy playing at this links styled course which allows some miss hits forgiveness.
Will be returning soon.

I've recently played a private club and Olivas was in better condition. The fairways were beautiful, perfect. The greens were not fast but very true a nice.

Overall a very good value for a muni. The course is only a few hundred yards from the ocean and experiencing the ocean breeze is soothing.

Live the layout and the challenge that this course presents. Look forward to playing this course again! Great condition

Front nine took 2.5 hrs. and the back nine took 4 hrs. 15 minute wait per hole on the back. Might recommend for weekday play only?

Maintained nicely, Fair challenge. Very fair price. Thank you

Links style course that was very challenging. had nice marine layer that came in late in our round that required extra club or two against the wind. greens were large and challenging. two putts were challenging when further than 40-50 feet.
Good, good golf course, would play again

Greens rolled well, fairways were cut...can't ask for much more from a muni course.

walked the course and very impressed with the condition. The greens were tested your putting skills. Staff is very nice! Must play course.

I drive up from LA to play this track. I always play as
A single and have gotten paired up up with great regulars that help with the green reading and tee shots. Great track!

With the price you charge for green fee way run the course out of a trailer.

First time in a long time playing this course and WOW!
Conditioning was better than many country clubs in the area. Fantastic fairways and excellent greens. Great playing conditions and very good test of golf.

I have played here several times and the course is always in great condition. Pace of play could be a little better, never saw a marshall on the course. Other than that, well worth the money.

I was playing the front nine and hurt my back. I went into the clubhouse to check if I could get a nine hole come back because of my injury. Jason said absolutely not and didn't even ask me about my back! Thanks for the poor customer service and lack of compassion!

This is a great course. I love to play here walk or ride, but you may want to avoid here on the weekends as the pace can be extremely slow. We started at 1:06 PM and finished the front 9 at 4:00 PM. As far as I can tell there is no one in charge to check the pace. At 4:00 PM we just played the front nine again and completed in 90 minutes.

course in great condition. always a good challange

This is a great course to play! It's always in great shape and the folks that run it are very nice as well!
