Sandy Greens!

I was very disappointed because the just aerated the greens and they were horrible.

They were full of holes and sand and we awful to even try to put on.

I wouldn't have paid the $69 to play if it was disclosed on the web site that this was taking place.

I blame Golfnow.com for not disc;using this fact before I purchased my golf rounds!

We stay at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa and love the resort and golf course. The staff is beyond friendly! Always helpful and makes the golf even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend spending a few days there and enjoy great golf, food and fun.

Ojai

Great mountain course, front nine very challenging, first four holes are tough. Beautiful vistas, elevated tees and 16th hole, the lost hole, a par three that requires you hit the green or you will be in the sand.

We love this course because of its setting and first rate accommodations.

Special place

Serene surroundings, some of the prettiest and most challenging holes you can imagine and very, very fast greens that roll true. Careful if you are above the hole...

Another Great Round!

Annually several of us travel from Chicago to see family and play golf in the LA area. A MUST stop over the last several years has been Ojai. We found the course in excellent condition from tees, to fairways, to greens. Ojai is in much better condition than other courses we played during the week. Every time we play here the staff is helpful and the pace of play excellent. There are multiple elevations throughout the course, beautiful landscaping, and a sense of history. For the intermediate player, the course is challenging and will reward good shots. We will return next trip.

Greens too soft

All greens had/have lots of spike, ball damage due to surface being so soft??
Puts look like the 4x4 to the hole.

Course was worth driving over an hour to play it.

The course was in excellent shape considering the drought conditions we have in California. The course was challenging when playing the course for the first time. Definitely a course we would like to play again when we return to the area.

Birthday Surprise

Surprised my sweetheart with a golf day and we spent the night too. We have lived in Ventura County for most of our lives and we had never been here. 20 minutes from home for us. Treat yourself and go. We had a great experience from start to end. Only wish we had stayed longer. Everyone was so great and the atmosphere at the resort was so relaxed. Everywhere we went they were wishing my Husband a "Happy Birthday". He felt so Special. The weather was great, warm with rain that evening. We had a deer run across one of the holes we were on too. Loved our time at the Inn!!!

Fantastic course and service

Final stop on my trip from SD to Monterey. Tough to say which was my favorite between here, La P, and Bayonet. I got a great deal on Golfnow so had to pull the trigger. I was going to play Rancho Maria but the pro shop didn't want to work with me on the timing of my hotdeal. Side note, I get that golf courses despise hotdeals since they make no money off them but there is value in selling food/drinks plus reviews such as these.

Ojai treated me like any other guest, let me go off early and even mentioned that I could replay the holes that I skipped due to a slow foursome. They get customer service since while I golfed 27+ holes my new wife spent $250 on spa services.

I've played the course a couple of times but had forgotten the variety it presents. For some reason I remembered it being like La Costa but it is actually much more like Aviara and Maderas. At $40 it was a steal even if the temp was pushing 100. Looking forward to heading back in the future.

Great play

The course and staff was absolutely fantastic. The reason we played this round of golf was due to the discount rate of golf now. It would be a stretch to pay $180 for that round. Overall though, fantastic.

Ojai Delight

What a picture perfect setting and excellent playing conditions and value. While this was my first time playing it won't be my last. Set in a beautiful resort the course was lush and well manicured. The tips played about 6200 yards but the layout was challenging. The screens were soft and true.

Top Notch Experience

All of the course staff were friendly and accomodating. The course and surrounding areas are beautiful. I highly recommend playing at Ojai Valley Inn. I stayed at the resort too, unfortunately for only one night. Outstanding resort.

Golf like it was in 1975.

Played two rounds at the course. Didn't wait once on a shot. The conditions were perfect, the staff was great. It was the nicest two days of golf I've had in the past 20 years.

The sure joy of playing golf returned to me during my stay.
