Olivas Links Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
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.

good course, back nine better than front
A good value for the money. Rather pedestrian front nine but very interesting back nine. Fairly slow pace of play and no starters at first tee so you have to fight for your spot.
Excellent
This course was great, we had a wonderful day.... we escaped the heat of the LA valley to enjoy the cool coastal breeze and a wonderful day on a wonderful course..... All made possible through a wonderful site called golfnow.com. We even enjoyed the Adirondack chairs at all the Par 3 holes. We even enjoyed taking a pic of our group in the chairs on one of the holes. we were not waiting to tee off, we were not hit up on or pushed by a group behind us. it was if we were the only ones on the course, dont know if this is the norm over there but our experience was Fantastic. Would I recommend this course to friends? (already have)... Will I go back? (Cant wait).. thanks again and a big shout out to Olivas links and Golf Now ....
Super Fun and Fair
Plays at a good pace, great value, great condition, greens really fun and challenging.
Good course, slow play.
Consistently slow play. I have played several times and have even walked off due to slow play.
However, great course and in good condition with challenging and interesting holes.
Starter,,,,
We first started out with the starter skipping us for other people because the starter was not calling out the foursome. The other problem was the round was entirely too slow. 3rd I emailed my complaints and a Gen Mgr responded with a call and he promised a 20 or 30% discount on return but I never heard from him and we would like to go back.
