This course has great features

Although It takes good 1hr 30 min drive from LA, my wife and I enjoyed play the courses whenever we get a chance to get away in the weekend. The course is beautiful, the greens are good, food is good, staffs are friendly, everything we experienced here are excellent. Thank you.

always loved the place

Ojai was absolutely perfect! played with two of my great friends and they had a great time too.
would love to go back soon. ONE THING OF MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT; THE TEE BOXES OF ALL THINGS ARE NOT LEVEL AND CHEWED UP A BIT.

we all shot 68', then woke up from our dreams!!

Player unable to play this date.

Excellent round...I have brought players down from Santa Barbara several times recently. Yesterday one of the players, avid golfer who lives at Birnam Woods, awoke with a swollen foot and had to cancel. While I understand reservations are non-refundable, possibly something could be provided....a later playing date?...rather than having a 100% loss. Your records should have my name and multiple reservations which could allow some consideration. One of my players yesterday had never played Ojai CC before, had a great day, and looks forward to returning. Obviously the Golf Now program is very beneficial to the golf course.
Thanks, Mike Freeman

Rolling hills with mature eucalyptus trees

Course was in great shape; greens were rolling really true and the pace of play was wonderful. Even though we could see other groups on the course, it is easy to feel like you have the course to yourself!

Beautiful course

the course was in great shape! Even though it was a holiday week-end, the course was not crowded and at times you felt like you were the only ones on the course.

Alice in Wonderland

My friend and I decided to go for the twilight time (less expensive) but at first worried we would not keep our pace of play intention... We started on the back nine and it was just wonderful. The weather , no one in front or behind , we just had a time of our lives.
Darren (carts) was the first person to meet and what a gentle person, he was: professional,kind and we felt at home straight away.
I think it was hole 4 or 5 that construction equipment and pipes were laid out ,so we did get confused there where to go.
But with no one around and gps built in the carts even us ladies figured it out.
On the fairways 6 and 7 we got 3 deer hanging around us, so we were thrilled with the close up photos of them.
Over all it was a fantastic and gorgeous course.

A lot of history

This was one of the courses on my bucket list and I finally found a good rate. The course is very nice and the staff is wonderful, and at $60 I'd probably be back. The rack rate however is very high, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. There are many comparable courses for half the price.

Crazy and great

Very strange and crazy check in. Need a better parking and check in for average golfers.
Great course and gps. Staff was perfect. A must for all golfers. Just getting to 1st tee a little crazy. Easy to get lost. Very crowded, it is a resort with lots going on. Give extra check in time.
Course was great and very fun. Price is high , but worth it.

Immaculate Course

My friend and I played at this course and it was in immaculate condition. The fairways were amazing, the greens were amazing, and the sand traps were in tip top shape. We both think this course is the best either one of us has ever played at and we have played on many golf courses on both the east and west coast.

Great fun course

Course is very interesting with lots of nice challenges. Make sure to get the "tips sheet" from the pros shop of you haven't played it before.

We played 18 and enjoyed it so much we went back out for the front 9 again.

Nice Course

Very interesting course. First few holes after number one seemed the most difficult to me. Very frustrating at times for a high handicapper like me. Bring extra balls for sure.
Most friendly and helpful staff I've encountered at a golf course anywhere. Glad I did it once but for the money, even the discounted rate on Golf Now, I wouldn't do it more than once a year at most. From LA it's a tough 2 hour drive with weekday traffic . Course played fast on a Monday. We had twosomes in front of us and behind. Don't expect the lush fairways you get in Palm Springs.
If you're looking for a course just as interesting but a bit longer and some might say tougher especially on a normal windy day... try
La Purisima between Buellton and Lompoc. The two courses seem similar in many ways to me.

All around fantastic experience. Make a weekend out of it.

This resort is an overall gem. Very relaxed and beautiful. Can't wait to get back.

The course is pretty challenging but well-balanced. Truly picturesque. Rolling hills, mountain views. Feels like a day in nature.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. It's nice that practice range is included in your round. The range itself is very well maintained. All grass, no mats.

There are several restaurants on the resort, but the pub near the golf course is fantastic. They've got a great patio, top-notch food and drinks.
