Olivas Links Golf Course

I played with my son and a friend from the S. Cal area. We all really enjoyed the course. Fairways and greens in really good shape. The areas outside of the rough are difficult and depend on your lie. My friend had recently played in Scotland and said he thought the course reminded him of Carnoustie. Wind plays a major factor on this course but it's a fair test and you must be hitting from the fairways to score well.

nice links golf course. just do something to that trailer club house.

One of my top 5 favorite Links style courses in the USA. It's next to the ocean so you have the cool on-shore breeze most of the day. The course is ALWAYS in very good condition, If people would just fix their DIVOTS, it would be in GREAT shape. Four sets of tee boxes challenges all golfer's. If they had a 16th Century Castle near the course you'd think that you were in Scotland. Played 18 in 4.25 hrs at 2:00pm with a cart on a Sunday for
$35.00per, thru Golf Now.Com You can't beat that

This was my first time at Olivas Links, and I definitely will be returning. It is a fun links layout, the fairways are in excellent shape for the amount of play, and many of the holes are very challenging. We played early in the morning, so there was little wind to contend with; but I could see that if you add 10-20 mph crosswinds to many of the holes, it could get very difficult.
My only criticism was that many of the greens had many unrepaired ballmarks on them; but even then they rolled well. Also, the course was a little hard to see from the road-it would help newcomers if there were a large sign out there.
This was one of the most enjoyable rounds I've played in quite a while.

Pace is very slow and there were many ball marks which were not repaired at many greens.

One of the best days of golf that I have had in a long time, Great course, friends, services. This is an A++++++++ Go Play!!
The tee boxes were perfect, the greens were running true, the fairways very nice (you need to be in them), the buckers were wet sand but it was mourning (and I only ended up in 1). In ventura county this course is a go play course, top 2. The only thing they could use here is a true club house, but ventura is to cheap to do that.

I have played olivas links around 10 times now and I get a new challenge each time. The wind was really blowing this time which made holes more challenging then normal. But the course was in great condition.

Beautiful features. Cool climate, when everywhere else was hot, I was debating about putting on my jacket. Some very tough holes. I last played here a few years ago and the course conditions are better. I had 10 to 15 more strokes than I wanted. Greens very good but deceptively slow.

fairways and greens in great shape, course layout very good. pace of play a little slow.

Good links course. Good shape for a Muny. Wind can be a factor in the pm.

On July 9 at 2 pm, I went to Olivas links golf with my other friend.
And I know that it normally costs 29 dollars per person,
But they charged me and my friend 34 dollars per person.
How can I get refund?

Course was the best shape in the last 4 years. Fairways were green, green, green, well manicured, and played great! Greens are tricky, but fair, and roll well.

I'll come back more than 4 more times this summer -

this course is both a shot makers course an the average players course. with wide fairways, moderate sand traps, large fast rolling greens. would definatly be returning for more rounds.

I would go back in a heart beat, most courses in this kind of shape will cost you twice the money...

Olivas Links is a wonderful golf facility, for all abilities and ages. The course is in great condition all year, and the weather is always moderate. The rates are fair for the experience you get. I can usually find rates $35-$40 mid day on this site, that is with cart ! They have four sets of tee boxes, that are properly spaced, and provide fun for all skill levels. Very friendly for women and juniors. No fancy clubhouse, but thats ok, because you have ocean breezes, and great golf ! Well worth the 45 minute drive from the valley. LA City courses are now about $50 wit cart , six hour rounds, and no grass under you ball !

Wonderfully maintained course! The grass feels like you're walking on a carpet!!! At many of the tee off boxes you have Aerodeck chairs-really cool! Good pace of play on Sunday!
Wish they had a clubhouse!

This is a fun course to play. There are a few challenging holes a few easy ones and the rest are average. The course plays tough when you get the onshore winds. Pace of play was terrible with three or four groups on every hole.

Playing early in the morning on a weekday, I was surprised to find a decent number of people all ready at the course. It was no problem though, as pace of play was great. The course was in great condition. The fairways were in excellent shape. The course can be tough if you are not hitting the ball straight because of the natural "links" style grass that grows just a few feet off the primary rough. Overall a good value.

Course is in great shape. Was my first time playing and couldn't have been more impressed. We were paired up with an employee of the course (E.J.) who offered super-friendly and expert advice on how to play the track.

- Excellent practice facility
- Immaculately maintained tees, fairways, and greens throughout the course
- Challenging, yet playable, layout
- Super friendly humans (not golf snobs) behind the counter.

I cannot wait to come back and play again!

The costal breeze can be a challenge if you don't hit it low and straight. Greens a little slow, but have some slope and tight pins can leave you wondering. A fun time, enjoy the relaxing breeze.
