Ojai Valley Inn

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.

Great course, great location, great staff, however, as a resort course, the ball marks on the green are sometimes unrepaired and the bunkers are sometimes left unraked. Other than that, the course is fantastic. With windy conditions in the late afternoon, the finishing four holes at this golf course from the tips challenge all levels of golf ability. A true GEM!!!!

Most enjoyable round of golf. Would be much easier and more enjoyable second time around.

I was so amazed of how challenging the course was for beind a short course. Alot of doglegs, blind shots and spectacular views. I highly recommend this course, and the four cheese pizza at the bar...

Course was in perfect condition. Facilities of driving range, chipping/sand area, multiple putting greens make this an outstanding resort course. Five stars all the way.

The course,staff,pace,views all are well worth the money, dying to play again.

course driving range under construction, only able to hit up to 150 yrds, in an area in terrible condition.

greens punched, old method, really unable to play on the greens at all.

while playing a 5 some with 4 golf carts cut in front of us, call to golf shop did not bring a marshall.

very disappointing for a course with such a stellar reputation.

a beautiful older course in a fabulous setting, the Ojai Valley. very helpful staff. course in moderate condition, very playable but a little rough in spots. not overly used, we played 18 holes in 3-1/2 hours.

Had a great deal from Golf Now. We live on a PGA rated course and belong to another course. So, for us to go to another course needs to be great value, and worth the trek. We love getting a deal on GolfNow to play different pretty and challenging courses. Ojai never fails. Had a great day with my husband for our 22nd anniversary. The course played great, the pace of play was awesome and the weather was just what we ordered. The food at the turn was awesome, and Matilda in the little grill greeted us on the turn with these amazing truffle potato chips they make daily.
They are re-doing the golf range and it's under heavy construction. So, the driving range is a temporary little mess. And we did see a huge tractor tip over in front of us. Hope whoever was driving it was ok. Over all...Great service and great fun! Thanks Ojai Valley for the great deal on GolfNow.. We will be back!

I love Ojai Valley!! Just a great maintained and beautiful course

I booked a pre-paid time and traveled nearly 2 hrs to get to the course. Upon arrival I was told the front 9 was closed and I would be playing the back 9 twice. The driving range was also closed. None of this was indicated to me when i booked or prior to arrival, so from the start I was let down, but still excited to see the course.
The course was in pretty good shape and the greens rolled very nicely, but the course is very unspectacular from a design standpoint. Examples: holes 10 & 13 are basically the same hole; par 4's from elevated tee boxes that play slightly back uphill and are the same yardage. Nothing exciting or memorable about that hole once, let alone twice. Also, holes 11 & 16 (par 3's) while being different shots visually, require the same club and yardage- not the kind of variety I want in a top course! Third example of weak design; Hole #16 is a huge downhill par 3 with spectacular views of the mountains and the valley. Also visually interesting because you see a lot of bunkers. However, most of hose bunkers are all well short of the green and do not actually come into play. They are there for useless "effect" that I just find is a cop-out in design. That green is also essentially an island that can't be missed in any direction so it doesn't provide a player with any course management strategy.
Thankfully, I only paid $69 for this pre-paid time. I would probably have given this course 3 stars if I could've played the whole course, maybe 4 if whole course and range was open. Definitely not worth more than $69, let alone the ridiculous rates they try to charge. Do yourself a favor and go play Soule Park in Ojai for $24- overall condition not as good but the greens are great and overall design is outstanding and far more memorable.
