Ojai Valley Inn

The course is is nostalgic and fair. It conjures thoughts of how golf courses used to be designed. Unforunately, there are no signs to direct visiting golfers while the resort is under construction. We spent 20 minutes making our way to the gold shop. Once on the course, there is minimal direction to the next hole... particularly from 9-10 & 18 to the parking lot.Also, the greens had recently been punched and the course reps did not disclose this information. The ammenities on the course offer some relief... good food and a quality watering hole offer relief. I qualify this course with 3.9 stars, the major distraction being the recently punched greens. Regardless, a fun 18 holes of golf.

We went into this our first time, being prepared for anything I brought copies of our reservation. We were greated with smiles and good service. The course is tough lots of challenges but the view was so beautiful the greens were so well kept up impresseive. The only small minus would be I needed someone to explain to us the smart carts and video pads how they work. At times the cart would not move and we kept hearing a beep thinking our phones but turned out the pad and smart carts have restricted areas of the course . Takes only one time to remember that

This course is very scenic and peaseful. It is on the short side, but still quite challenging. The layout is interesting. Pace of play is good. The staff could not be more friendly.

You'd never know Ojai was closing in on a hundred years old. Even with all the rain this year, the course is in excellent condition. It is a traditional layout, following the contours of the land. No gimmicks here. The greens are fast with subtle and some not so subtle breaks. Watch out for the false fronts. The setting is serene with clear skies and the Topa Topa mountains as a back drop. The course is very challenging and plays much longer than the scorecard.The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Jimmy's Pub is everything a 19th hole should be; a great look and feel, nice selection of beers, wines, excellent food and an attentive staff.

Ojai Valley Inn is such a beautiful place. The golf course is my favorite to play, love to get out there on Sunday's. Never too crowded and pace of play is good. Scenery is amazing and course is fun to play.

Staff is extremely friendly and accommodating, Jim the starter was terrific, got me off well before my tee time...at my request. Got paired up in a twosome with Dave who works at the Inn, really provided me a lot of advice as to where to hit my shots. Great experience, highly recommend!!

Cause was in great shape for the amount of rain that week cart path only but all paths were very good would play course again

Ojai Valley Inn is a gem. Its like playing Bel Air or Riviera without the $100K+ membership fee. Course conditions were good but not awesome due to recent very heavy rains. The ball would land and stop immediately. Oddly enough, the greens were very hard and extremely fast. certainly not what you expect at a resort course. However, they were fair and rolled true. The staff is very friendly. Jim, the starter has been there forever and is a delight. He remembers frequent players and if there is a large outing will do everything possible to get you out in front of them. A real pro. Ojai Valley Inn is like stepping back in time and playing in the 1940s or 50s. Pace is quick. I've played there a dozen times or more and only once did my round exceed 4 hours. just a delightful golf experience.

My two brother and i had a great time at the golf course, it is a great track.

Ojai Inn golf course is a scenic gem and a challenging course. The front nine winds through oak trees and hills. Keep an eye out for the deer. The back nine opens up a little the the last three holes. 16th, 17th and 18 will keep your attention, hit it straight! Love the course and it was in great shape. Only negative was them putting a group off the back nine. Just as the group in front of us was making the turn. Slowed play on the back, after a non stop front.

Great old course. They allow walking, which I did. Great experience, beautiful conditions, greens were fast and fun.

Can't wait to come back.

We had our family playing 2 groups. The starter was great with accommodating us all, we loved him! The course is still in good shape even due to the drought of SoCal. We love how quiet and peaceful it is here. Ojai Valley Inn has become a "trendy" place it seems, just hope the golfing stays classy and one of our favorite places to relax and play a round. Also I understand if you want to hit the driving range, but if you're hipsters drinking wine, maybe chatting and "accidentally" throwing clubs might not be the best around people that pay for the Ojai golf experience.

Love this course! Great deal!

Very good course and most of the time not to busy. I have stayed there and it is a great place to play 2 days and spend the night I paid 700 which included 1 night stay and unlimited golf for 2 days for 2 people. We were treated like kings form the when we got there to when we left.

Very challenging course to play green r fast

I love this course. It's not long but it requires strategic and precise shots to accomplish scoring. George Thomas is an all-time great course architect and this course is a testament to that. You start by playing out from the Inn and weave down into the valley and surrounding property in a supremely enjoyable routing. Memorable holes are littered all around the course and kikuyu grass provides a proper challenge from the rough. Strategic short par 4's, both short and long par 3's and tons of elevation change makes this arguably the best public course for the money in Southern California. Highly recommend it for elevated resort style golf.

Challenging golf course. Starting time 10am on a Saturday morning and finished in 4 hours. Staff friendly and helpful. Recommend playing and staying here anytime.

What a buetiful day of golf !! The Staff, the Course and the whole embience is so Very Nice !!

Mind you, it's a difficult course but a great one.
