Top Notch

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

Beautiful and Difficult Course

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.

Shangri-La

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.

Ojai is the best

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.

Challenging course

My husband and I visit the Ojai resort every couple of years and always love our experience here. Course layout has changed since we’ve been here last and the first hole is definitely a challenging one. Holes 16,17,& 18 are a great addition on the back side. Highly recommend this course for those looking for a challenge.

Amazing golf in Ojai

My wife and I traveled a great distance to spend time in Ojai; specifically to play golf here.

The course lives up to its pedigree. Conditions were superb. I love old classic courses that test all aspects of your game. This is well worth it.

Perfect golf course

The pictures and the reviews do not do this course any justice. This is one of the beat courses I have played in a long time. I'm a 5 handicap and it tests my game everytime. Must play!! every inch of this course is unbelievably beautiful. Everybody is very friendly as well. Carts play music and tell your yardage. chipping and putting practice
