Huge disappointment

My family and I visited Ojai Valley Inn golf course and had much higher expectations compared to the reality of the golf course. There was a large storm 4days prior to our visit and the golf course was at a very poor state beyond what I anticipated. There were leaves, broken branches, stumps, and even whole trees sprawled throughout the whole golf course. In addition over 90% of the courses were still partially submerged in water. Hole #11 was also completely closed off for play which the clubhouse did mention but they failed to mention anything other than that. I would have expected at least a slight forewarning when I was checking in for my tee time regarding the state of the course especially when I'm paying over 120+ per person but no regards nor were given. It's a huge disappointment and it's quite shocking how no considerations were given to me nor any members of my family. I drove all the way from SD with my daughter who is visiting out of state to with the anticipation to have a great time but Ojai Valley Inn golf course has severely fell short on majority of my expectations and prior visit and I will have to reconsider my visit in the future now based on my experience on the 28th.

Challenging layout

Overall, very enjoyable experience. Some of the holes were quite challenging with some blind carries. A few of the holes are very straightforward though. Greens were in good condition. Stop was very helpful and friendly. The surrounding mountains are beautiful. We stayed at the resort which was a very comfortable place to stay.

Front to Back

Great greens. The front is target golf. The back is in front of you. A very well-maintained course with some unique holes.

4.5 Hour Round

Extremely slow. I know it’s resort golf but it was brutal. Staff didn’t care. No ranger keeping groups in check. Overall, disappointment.

What an Incredible Resort and Golf Course

First time playing. Despite the cost, more than we are accustom too, Absolutely Worth Every Penny. The staff is beyond helpful, conditions perfect.

The course itself is particular challenging on the front 9, much more reasonable on the back 9. What a Wonderful experience.

Tough Course - But Worth it

Be prepared, the front 9 has plenty of challenges, the back is much more reasonably. Be sure to talk with the incredible Mark (starter), without his guidance the day would have been Much harder.

All of the staff from beginning to end were terrific.

The cost to play might appear expensive, however, it's worth every penny. Enjoy
