Ojai Valley Inn

Worth the $69 a person that I paid. Got to take dad out for a nice round.

This course is one of the best in Southern California that you can pay to play. I always enjoy my rounds at Ojai.

The kikuyu is REALLY sticky, will grab you club on your irons even in fairways. And Kikuyu brutal around the greens. It took me nine holes to get used to it, and it still cost me strokes chipping. Sometimes the clubs stopped short like a chili dip, sometimes bounced off the grass and sent ball flying twice the expected distance.

First 9 very hilly, hard to see landing areas. Second 9 better, very challenging. Several drives require long carries (over 200 yards) in the 18. Greens good.

Staff sensational. On the driving range an instructor was collecting gear, stopped by and give both my partner and me tips for several minutes. Jim the Starter has been there 55 years! Very cool guys.

We paid $69 with cart and practice balls included. Good deal.

I enjoyed playing there. The course was in great condition and challenging.

My buddy and I flew through this course even though we were a little late for our tee time. The staff was super friendly and pace of play was quick. Nice course that can make you feel like you're in the middle of nowhere.

I have played here before and again, was not disappointed. I played from the back tees for a challenge. Making sure you hit the right areas makes for a tough round. The GPS on the carts help with where to layup for the next shot. I plan on coming here again next year.

Great area course and spa are great as well. My problem was that on golfnow.com I booked a time 12:50 for both my wife and I to play. We live one hour away from golf course as we stopped at bag drop we saw 20 carts loaded up for a shot gun. The Pro told us that we would be able to get us off at 1:40 not 12:50. I asked about Golf Now that I paid for and he said we send them the dates of shot guns but golf now sells times anyway. The Asst behind the desk said his pay grade did not allow him to off anything like lunch or drinks after the round. Just flat not happy with that answer.

This is a magical place! Quiet, peaceful, oak trees throughout, mountain vistas.

Course is old time design with challenges aplenty.

Prepare your self for last three finishing hoes -- could blow your round!

Never super busy...always a pleasure to play.

One of my favs along with Industry Hills, Pelican, El Cab, Oak Quarry !

My 3 sons and I enjoyed playing this course for the first time. The layout, the views. Everything was most enjoyable. Two thumbs up

One of the best courses to play in the Santa Barbara/Ventura/Los Angeles area.

We got our tee time the morning we played which was nice. Its a nice drive but you dont really get to see how nice it is until you really get to the resort. The course was in great shape and we played around at a very fast pace without really waiting at all. We were just a twosome so the one time we did come up on a group they let us through. The best part would have been paying $59 for the round and if not for the course closing at 4pm for an event we could have gotten a replay for another $10. We cant wait to go back.

Some blind shots on front nine which is hilly. Back is more traditional. Three long par threes on back all over 200 yds. Suggest playing white tees if not a long hitter.
Staff was most cordial.

Had to wait 30 mins to get a breakfast sandwich before the round because of poor service and lots of resort people in line. Should have a snack option available to golfers only. Golf shop attendant was unfriendly almost to the point of being rude, very unexpected for a $180 round.
The course was spectacular, but not worth the hassle.

Excellent course, scenic surroundings and a beautiful Inn and Spa. Golf Now rate was great. Played on Sunday afternoon as a single and rarely saw other golfers. Course was in great shape and I really enjoyed the layout. Afternoon heat was probably why course had very few players. Greens were in great shape. Only hit on course was that the driving range closed at 3pm on Sunday.

Great course. Some challenging holes but overall a well laid out course. Staff was fantastic. Price paid on golf now was half the price course offered.

golf starter was behind building of front gate.
but no sign and asked many staffs but
no interested in guiding us to golf area but officially answered
down and corner
but it was hard to find golf starter.
rude and unkind- not recommend you definitely.

Overall, one of the best in Southern California. Will be back ASAP.

Fun course to play. Great pace of play. Course in very good condition. Highly recommended.

The course was in perfect condition. The only problem we had was the 100+ degree temperature drained our energy by the 15th hole.

This course is phenomenal. For the mid to high handicapper this course can be challenging. Several of the holes are not forgiving, and require placement golf. However, you don't have to be the longest hitter. Even from the back tees the course is not very long at under 6300 yards. The setting has nice views of the Ojai valley surrounded by mountains all the way around. If it is warm, there is small but nice locker room for a quick shower after your round, and a close walk to Jimmy's pub. This course is a must to play.
