Olivas Links Golf Course

The greens ran true and the fairways were in good shap. Stay out of the ruff if you want to score well

took over five hours to play a thursday round due to slow foursome/s about five groups ahead of us. never saw the marshal past the first tee. we teed off at 12:10, parking lot was less than half full, didn't have to wait on any shot until the fourth tee, then had to wait on every shot the rest of the round. could see a two-hole gap ahead of the lead group - could have been corrected by normal course marshal intervention.

This a fun course; not the best maintained in the area, but still in good shape. A good links style setup that is fun, especially the second 9. Got stuck behind a group of slow players, so it definitely slowed our round down. Not sure if I'd want to pay the full price rate for a morning tee time, but definitely worth 40 bucks for an early afternoon tee time.

I like this links course because the course has character, its not a boring municipal course where all the holes are flat, look the same, and have wide fairways. There is a variety in difficulty and layout of the holes. There are holes that require a good drive and good 2nd shot to get par. I also like that you get lots of run on the fairways in the afternoon. I enjoyed that I teed off at 6:40 AM and finished playing by 9:50 AM.

Bring your straight game. Any hits right or left and you can easily lose a ball in the "natural area". I lost several balls in just 6 to 8 inches of weeds. That's kind of frustrating. But it's a beautiful course. Would definitely play it again.

Outstanding greens. Well maintained tees and fairways. Challenging hole designs. I thought I was playing a country club.

I played this course on a windy day. But according to staff there, it's usually pretty windy. The course was in good shape. nice fairways and greens. Greens were nice and not very fast. The layout is a bit confusing going from hole to hole or figuring out which fairway to aim for. It's a true links course. There aren't too many of them around here, unless they're cheap little muni's. There were a lot of people there and very crowded. I got stuck behind the local high school team playing a practice round or tournament. I ended up jumping a few holes ahead. The players are nice and most let me play through. All in all, if your looking to play a links style course with med-heavy wind like you were in Scotland then this is the course for you. If you're used to high shots and soft landings, like most of us in the states, then you will have a difficult time. Still a fun time. Got to try a lot of shots like punches, bump and runs from 150 yards etc. Just don't expect to put up great scores on your first time out.

One of the best Public courses in Ventura County. Always cool and sometimes breezy.

We wish we knew in advance that the front nine was closed and we would be playing two back 9's. The course moved quite slowly because of the mingling of front and back bookings.

The course was a little dry, and the greens were bumpy, but overall, this is a nice course, and well worth the money.

tough course tough rough. good layout. great weather.

Front nine were quick, the back nine took 2 1/2 hours in windy conditions. Greens were slow but otherwise course condition was great considering time of the year.

I enjoyed the course layout very much. The greens were great a lot of slight hills and bumps. The pace of play started out good but started to play really slow from thew 7th hole on. We did not see any marshal to enforce the slow play in front of us.

If you stay in the fairways you're going to have a great day. Some balls so much as a foot off the fairway you can't find them. Lot of strokes on your game if you can't keep it on the fairway. Keep them straight, you're going to have fun! It's a really nice course.

Played this course and found it to be a nice challenge. The downside is, when we played, the course booked 2 tournaments which we were not aware of as well as, just before we went out they had 2 match play tourney - one had the lower handicaps on the front 9 and the higher handicaps on the back the nine. We were behind them and started our game on the back nine a half an hour late. With no course marshal, the speed of play was unbearably slow. It took us 3 1/2 hours to complete the back nine and the day was at an end and were unable to complete

The course plays well. A bit brown, but that's normal for this time of year. The Pro-Shop and bathrooms are temporary trailers. Very strange. Also, no 19th hole or food service. Pre-made sandwiches or funky Hot dogs are the only snack.

Great course for the money. Tee to green the conditions are very well maintained. The course is somewhat forgiving and the greens are not too fast, but not too slow. Definitely will recommend this course.

Classic course, Epic time, great location...
Wish we could have played 27

Best shape I've seen the course in! Awesome fairways and greens. Definitely worth the drive from the San Fernando Valley.

This course has all the obstacles of links course and all the obstacles of a regular course - trees, water, etc. It's ridiculous to have complete unmaintained knee-high rough on a municipal golf course - and don't forget the winds
