Ojai Valley Inn

Based on what I read I was very excited to play this course. When I played the course it was everything I hoped it would be. The only problem was the pace of play particularly on the back nine was really bad. I ended up walking off the course with four holes to play. That’s something I don’t do because I love to golf and particularly love to golf on a beautiful course. I would have given this course five stars on value for the money as it’s worth every nickel. I just wish they would’ve managed the slow novice golfers in the groups ahead of us better.

As usual the staff was consistent, pleasant and helpful. The course rival a a Country Club without any pressure. The experience feels like a vacation in the middle of my vacation.

Quintessential Southern California golf. Great layout. Beautiful weather. Awesome attention to detail.

Best Course in the Central Coast Area. Others just don't compare.

Picturesque holes surrounded by sculptured hills and valleys.

No matter how beautiful the course, when the pace of play is awful, the cart GPS not working and the drink cart missing in action most of the day, it is not possible to have a great day of golf. Many people complained, just too many party groups with no supervision. People were leaving the course. This is not normal for this course, so I'm hoping that they will resolve their issues.

Two of us played/rode 18 holes at our own pace. We tee'd up any the appointed hour with no one in sight, and only saw another twosome come up behind us a few holes. They were enjoying their day, and declined to play through. Tee to green, the course is beautiful, and in perfect condition. The first nine are a scenic gem, with some intriguing layouts . I hadn't played here since rumored accidental chemical destruction of a few putting surfaces. The greens were positioned as they always were, but my partner pointed out some evidence of damage repair on a few. The view of absolute perfection was spoiled, but it really didn't affect play at all.

Country club vibe without the dues and the initiation fee. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful day and round at Ojai Vally. Excellent layout, tee boxes were excellent, greens in great condition. Course has a lot of character, challenging but still fun. A must play course in California.
