Ojai Valley Inn

This was my first time playing Ojai and what I had seen on their website instilled a little fear, as I am a fairly new golfer. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was able to go out ahead of my tee time and finished in 3 hour and 15 minutes. Although the course is quite challenging, it's manageable if you reference the tip sheet they give you. The course was in great shape and the greens are true.

Go play! Go back in time and enjoy the “Lost holes” that are spectacular!

Course is in great condition and always a challenge.

Ojai Valley Inn is a great value for money experience!

One of the best golf course in Southern California

Definitely I will be back !!

This course is a must play and the staff and atmosphere is amazing

Play Ojai frequently. Always a delightful experience. Starters....Roland and Mark, we have known for years. They are simply, the best!

I had heard a bunch of great things about this course from different sources, so going into the course I had relatively high expectations for the course, and having played the course I can say that those expectations were met.

The layout is very compact, with holes being really close to one another, but it's a very interesting design, taking full advantage of the land that resort had to work with. There are a lot of elevation changes on the course due to the hilly terrain, and the course is also not that long, as I found myself using wedges on a lot of approach shots. The course really amazes with its closing stretch, holes 15-18, where the layout opens up.

Conditions wise, the course matches the price that's being charged. The fairways were lush and green with no bare spots in sight, the rough was really tame and not too difficult to hit out of, the sand levels in the bunkers were great, and the greens, although a little bit on the slower side, were rolling very smoothly.

All in all, it's a really fun, shorter course that's poses just enough challenge for being a resort course. We happened to get the twilight rate, which made this course a steal, but even for regular pricing, it's a course that anyone in the area should definitely play.

The course was stunning. The hills provide fun challenges while the grass and greens were in tip top shape. They have smart carts so you don;'t need a range finder. Several of the holes feature scenic views that leave you not wanting to walk off the tee box after hitting your shot. Bring some extra balls if you are a hacker. Some of the OB areas are impossible to try to retrieve a ball from. The staff is wonderful and the hotel is as incredible as everyone says.

Booked a 12:50 tee time with the intention of arriving 2 hours prior so that we could unwind from a 1 hour drive from Los Angeles. Instead we were caught up in an unsual amount of traffic which resulted in us arriving just 25 minutes before our tee time. The pro shop staff and starters were very understanding and let us know that we could take our time unwinding and to just communicate when we were ready to begin our round which resulted in us teeing off at approximately 2pm. The course was in pristine condition, fairways firm, bunkers consistent, greens ran about 10-10.5 on the stimp which was consistent for a resort style course.

All and all, a wonderful experience from the moment you arrived on property. The staff was excellent and were always accommodating and deserve the highest praise!

FYI, we will definately be back!!!! Cheers

Just a beautiful place to play! Golf staff are the best, always friendly and helpful.

Had a great deal through golfnow.com and got to play this gem of a course for peanuts. The course, in mid-July no less, was in excellent condition: greens rolled perfectly, fairways were pristine. It's a tough course -- not very long, but demanding. Glorious old trees everywhere, and you have to play strategically. Knowing the course really helps here, as you can be in deep trouble even from the fairway, if you are on the wrong side of it. The greens are mostly pretty small, and since they are also fast, good iron play is a must. Playing this course for anything less than $75 is an absolute steal.

Beautiful course and location, meticulously maintained, challenging but fair. Could not beat the price or value paid on GolfNow for playing a high end course like this.

GolfNow Hot Deal $60 for my son and I to play with their $10 replay we played twice. I’m not a fan of kykui fairways, but the greens made up for it, perfect greens. As always customer service is top notch. I highly recommend this course.
