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!!!!

Great afternoon, as usual

The course at Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is my midweek regular. First, the Inn is a rambling resort that is visually enticing. The staff is outstanding, professional but friendly, and very accommodating. The front nine are situated mostly through the hills, holes 10 through 15 spread out in front of the restaurants on the plain, then the two lost holes, 16 & 17 back in the foothills. The Tips on 18 are elevated, down the hill for more forward tees. This course is beautiful to play and look at. It's relaxing golf at it's best.

Beautifully Challenging Course

Even though it was a scorcher outside I really enjoyed myself. The fairways were well manicured and the greens weren't too fast or slow. It has enough blind holes to keep you on your toes the entire round. With my hot deal you couldn't beat the price, but I'm sure I only got that price because of how hot it was supposed to be. Some of the holes will challenge your drive to get over the canyons so bring an extra sleeve or two for the high handicappers.

Great deal great round of golf

Took my best friend for a round of golf at Oja Valley Inn for his birthday . It was a great experience for both of us. The staff was helpful and extremely Friendly. The course was in good condition but the greens were surprisingly slow. Great layout and a good pace of play. We finished in 3 1/2 hours on a Sunday. Drinks at the bar are far to expensive but that comes with a resort. Will definitely return.

OJai golf fun

An excellent day of golf here; the course is not that long but offers some design challenges and great aesthetics. It was our first time here, but we will come back soon as we can. greens were in very good condition and had consistent speed. Lots of sand traps, especially on the par 3 # 16

Great place to play

Played on a Tuesday during a heat wave so the course was empty. No one in front of me, no one behind me. LOT'S of elevation changes so tough to judge yardage but really fun layout with beautiful views.

Can I Go Back Tomorrow?

Awesome George Thomas design. He also designed Riviera CC. I can't believe I haven't played this before. The course and views are so classically beautiful with great bunkering and green designs. Course conditions are excellent. I want to go back tomorrow and play it again.
