Good Course if a Hot Deal is Available. Serious Golfers may be Disappointed

Long round behind several oblivious groups. Absolutely zero marshals/pace of play enforcement. Lots of construction going on, (talking, carts starting in your backswing etc). Fairways are coming around and greens were very nice. Some bunkers could use a refill on sand.

The entire property needs more/better signage for non-resort guests to find the golf shop/facilities. The staff was less than eager to assist in directing me to the right locations for the driving range/first tee etc. Also, despite asking several times, it was an ordeal just to find out who I was playing with (I showed up as a single).

All in all, I enjoyed the day. The course is not worth the full rack rate because of the lack of

Organization and assistance from the golf shop/golf valet staff.

A true gem

Breathtaking course nestled in the Ojai mountains. Not long, but shot making is the emphasis. Greens are quite fast but true.

A couple of things to be aware of:

- construction going on along the 9th and 18th fairways. They are building stuff.. On 9 this can be an issue on 2nd shot left side. On 18 it’s the drive and right side.

- 16 is a spectacular par-3. Most misses in any direction will result in OB, hazard, or bunker. It’s the 4-handicap but IMHO it is the hardest hole on the course and should be handicap-1

George Thomas Gem!

There's a plaque on the course with a quote from George Thomas. To summarize, the designer touts the course as his best design, "Not a weak hole on the entire course" (I paraphrase). It's a great layout, in very good condition. Scenic, and the weather this time of year is incredible.

Old time charm with modern facilities!

Beautiful course! Best course I have EVER played!! Greens were in winter condition but rolled true! Friendly and helpful staff! Course is a shot makers course, don't remember ever using as many variety of hybrids and woods before . I brought a groupon deal that got me a round of golf, cart, bucket of ball's, and beer for $80 bucks, a unbelievable deal!

Will definitely be back!!!

Original George Thomas Gem!

The course holds up well against more modern designs. The setting is spectacular and the course condition is very good to excellent. The greens were recently punched but are VERY healthy - once the defects heal over these are going to be some of the best greens in the area!

Great Day

The weather was great, mid 80's, little wind (as usual). The setting with the mountains in the background, playing the first nine trough the canyons, ten through sixteen more on the flat, and then the foothills again to play the "Lost Holes".

Perfect day, I even played some golf.

Construction Zone

The construction of the banquet facility has made holes 9 & 18 more difficult and the late afternoon pace of play was slow. Other than that the course was great.
