Worth The Drive - Play the Blue Tees

- No crowds or big lines which is a bonus
- Play from the blue tees
- Wind picks up around noon
- GPS on carts
- Natural grass range
- To many favorite holes to mention them all
- Shot 89 (chunked a couple)
- Green speed felt like 11
- Excellent bunker sand
- Consistent cart girl (older than normal)
That's all

Immaculate greens rolling true.

Course is in the best shape I've ever seen it. Great deal on Golf Now for a course of this caliber! Only regret, they discontinued they're deliciously famous hot dog at Jimmy's Pub. Travesty I say!

Lovely conutryside course and facility

We went to play as a couple staying in Santa Barbara and, on request were teamed up with another couple. We had a nice 4 hour round. The course was a bit tricky when you haven't played it before and our GPS in the cart wasn't working for the 1st 9 holes so we were teeing off into blind spots a lot. We booked to play there again as a 2nd round would have been even more enjoyable but sadly the weather turned bad so we had to cancel our 2nd round. We would consider staying at the resort on our next golfing trip to California

Ojai Valley a Unique Course

This is a unique course with some very interesting holes. Many elevated shots to greens, some firced carries over creeks and forested areas. Greens are in very good shape, fairways and tees also good. Standard rate is very high, but if you get a discount it is worth it.

Fantasyland for Golfers

This wonderful course takes full advantage of Ojai's rolling hills, oak woodlands and beautiful mountain views. Elevated tee boxes add thrills to several holes. Cart paths wind through oak-lined canyons and over picturesque wooden bridges. The hilly terrain is challenging but quite playable. Bunkers are well-placed but not punitive for the average player. Greens and fairways are very well maintained despite a crippling drought. It's not unusual to see wildlife and celebrities strolling through the course. Staff members could not be friendlier. My wife and I can't wait to play here again soon!

Get the greens cut and rolled!

Wow! Something I've wanted to do for my 20 year golfing career was finally accomplished. I found a free weekday to drive up to Ojai and try this famed track. Was not disappointed with the course design, fairway conditions, rough conditions, and especially not the scenery. YET - GREENS WERE RIDICULOUSLY SLOW. For a course this short (I played the tips) they should also worry about their well-heeled resort guests and good visiting golf players, AND NOT just about the local Seniors and LADIES when considering green speed. Way too slow for the quality of this course. Disappointingly so.

Great Classic Course

Took my son to play here for his first time. Staff members are excellent and very courteous. Greens had been recently sanded so that was disappointing, however, otherwise conditions were excellent. Did not have time to sit down and eat. Drinks from cart person were very over-priced.

If you want to play a beautiful course with a classic look and feel, this course is a must.

Great course

Ojai Valley has never disappointed me. The course is always well maintained and the scenery is great. This round, the green had been recently punched, but that is to be expected this time of year in Southern California.

All and all a great experience.

Excellent as Usual!

Great course and staff, saved $20 using GolfNow. Traps were fully groomed and all consistent texture, nice. I had to wait on every hole, not unexpected as a single. Still my round was completed in 3:40, so can't complain too much.

A Gem

This is a beautiful golf course and a gem on the South Coast. Lots of history here, and several plaques around the course give you an idea of it's glorious past. Each hole is unique and challenging. Staff was outstanding. HIGHLY recommended.

Valley in name only

This is a fairly hilly course for having the name valley in it. The course was in decent condition and the greens were excellent, but I expected more from a $185 green fee course. I would only recommend it if you get a great price from GolfNow. The staff was first class, the food was excellent, and the views were wonderful.

My Ojai experience

Course is in very good cindition. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Pace of play was right on time. Greens were fast and undulated. This is not an easy course. Bring your A game or lots of balls.
