Golfing in Shangri-la

I will continue to rave about the golf, the beauty and the customer service at this idyllic place. The breathtaking views from so many golf holes and the exceptional condition of play makes this one of my favorite golf courses in the tri-counties. Roland was so accommodating and everyone else was so friendly and actually smiling. You should really take a long weekend and spend some time here in Ojai, play some golf, partake in some delicious locally grown gourmet food and take in the wonder of this paradise nestled at the foot of the Topatopa Mountains. Personally, I am planning on making this a monthly trek.

Best getaway ever.

Played 3 days at beautiful Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. Love the course and everyone working there is so friendly and helpful. The starters, pro shop employees etc. should all get 10 stars! Can’t wait to go back.

Awesome!!!

Had a 950 tee time. Golf shop staff were super friendly . Starter was also great and very informative. Hardly anybody on the course , I think we saw a total of maybe 10 golfers all day. Course itself was awesome, everything was green and lush. Greens were super, probably rolling at a 9.5-10. Well worth the GolfNow rate. The best semi private golf course in Ventura county!!!

Wildfire

We have played this course many times and were looking forward to another good outing. However, there are wildfires raging in this part of the world and not only could we not get to the golf course but we also could not get through via telephone. The course, it turns out, was closed, as were roads to Ojai.

I have no doubt Ojai Valley Golf Course personnel will honor our prepaid threesome's green fees at a future date that is convenient.

First time i wasn't happy

The course is fun, short but challenging and always in very good shape.. We played 18 starting at around noon and finished in 4 hours.(we were a threesome)

We go up and play it 2-3 times a year.

For the first time ever we did not feel welcome. The starter seemed overwhelmed and was not so friendly. Our initial greeting was being sternly told there is no where to park and we have to go back out to the front of the resort to park, and then shuttle back to the course. That process did not go well. Even though we arrived at the course 40 minutes before our T time, we barely made it out on time because of the parking hassle.

The beverage cart was on the course but not very interested in selling us a beverage. We had to actively flag it down to get it to stop for us (twice) and we were instantly told it was out of stock on a number of options. How does a fine resort like the Ojai Valley Inn allow its cart to be out of popular products ? The beverage cart attendant just didn't seem to care....

At the end of our round we parked our cart in designated spot, were told we had to walk up to the nearest shuttle spot, and we then waited for 30 minutes to get a ride back out to our cars.

As usual the course is in great shape, its fun and the entire setting in the ojai valley is beautiful. We have played there many times, this was the first time that the service was not commensurate with the course.. bummer

Beautiful course, beautiful day!

We had a great day at Ojai Valley Inn. The pace of play was excellent on the front 9, the back 9 got a little slow. Otherwise, the service was great - friendly people, course was in good shape, will definitely come back. We do think that Ojai Valley Inn is becoming a little too crowded for our taste, but hoping it doesn't ruin this little gem outside of LA.

Great golf course in nearly perfect condition.

Only negative is that a corporation had "purchased " the place for the week and no reastaurants or bars were open.

Great Course, Great Staff.

As usual everything was great and customer service was off the chart. This is an old school golf course that knows how to treat players. I got caught behind an accident on my way to the course and was running a little late. I called the pro shop and they made sure I got out.

Short but lots of fun

Great layout where driver is often not needed. Greens are small well guarded and in excellent shape to take good shots at the flag. Last 3 holes worth the price of admission. Played 2 days in a row between 12:30-2 - very very very slow pace. First day ended up playing front twice since front 9 took over 2:30. No Marshall in sight. Would not judge based on that since course is fun. Just check tee sheet!!!!
