Olivas Links Golf Course

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.

Course was in great condition, not quite "pristine". Greens ran true and fairways in great shape. Olivas is a challenging yet fair course and the weather in Ventura is almost always better than inland areas.

Fun course. My only complaint would be that the pace of play is very slow. Five hours both times I played there on a week day. It seems that they could book fewer tee times or marshal the pace of play to lower the wait time on the tees. Many players give up and bail out of the round before finishing. A great deal of patience is required to play here!

Enjoying the course more and the course is better maintained. Find the greens to bumpy and would like to see the water areas with water in them that is cleaner and nicer looking.

Pace of play has always been a problem at Olivas for me. I'm a slow pace player but 41/2-5 hour play is horrible. You loss your tempo and get frustrated. We had a threesome giving lessons and dropping balls in front of us and to top it off they walked the course! 4 out of the 5 times I played there mon-Saturday the round time for 18 was 41/2-5 hours! Icing on the cake there is no snack cart so you are in the woods while waiting to tee off! Great course otherwise! Staff is nice and condition of the course is good. I will return as the price on ex link on the weekdays you can't beat. Make sure you are prepared for a 5 hour round even on weekdays!

Most of the rough is natural areas which means potential for unplayables. The greens are fun to putt on with twists and level changes. The white, blue, black tee set up provides three distinct playing options. Demanding from the blacks especially after noon when the prevailing SW wind can require hitting two clubs longer. The course offers a good balance of long/short left/right holes. With the par 3's measuring anywhere from 8 iron to hybrid. The sand is fine and good to play out of just be sure to dig in with your shoes as there is bouncy clay under 2" of sand in some traps. All in all this course should be on your to play list.

Good course, well maintained, and good value and I will play again soon.
