Tough Course - But Worth it

Be prepared, the front 9 has plenty of challenges, the back is much more reasonably. Be sure to talk with the incredible Mark (starter), without his guidance the day would have been Much harder.

All of the staff from beginning to end were terrific.

The cost to play might appear expensive, however, it's worth every penny. Enjoy

Great Round on a Really Good Course

This was my first of many times to play this course. It was hot but the air was cooling and made the round quite enjoyable

Golf not a priority

Inconsistent traps. Fairways dry. Once a favorite course of mine. Things have been deteriorating the past 2-3 years. Still a decent course just but worth the money

Gem

Hadn’t played since remodel. Wonderful layout in beautiful setting. Fast, sloping greens. No hole is a repeat. Exceptional value through Golf Now.

Still as advertised

If I had to nitpick a. few things I would say a few of the greens were beat up and diseased, and 18's tee box is still wonky. They have been temporarily moving it up for years now.

But other than that, hard to complain. Great service, fun course and fantastic amenities. Definitely a top five course normal people can play in the LA/ Ventura/ OC area.

One of my all time favorite places to play

Course, weather, views, difficulty, fairness ... all in one. Yes it's a bit pricey for sure - but you're not just paying for golf.

You're paying for the experience - beauty - lack of homes surrounding every hole. It's a package.

We valeted for the first time - HIGHLY recommended.

Ojai Valley Inn Never Disappoints!

One of my favorite courses in the LA/Ventura area!

Staff is always amazing! Course is always great and pace of play is always fast. Played in 3.5 hours on a Sunday today - almost unheard of!

Love the design and architecture of the course and will look forward to many more rounds here!

Sanded greens

No prior advisement from Golfnow or the proshop that greens were all under repair. Paid a premium for subpar conditions that, if timely advised, I would not have played. Very disappointed in the utter lack of honesty and straightforwardness with respect to the sanded greens.

Could be great

The setting is amazing. The resort is awesome. The course is short and is more target golf than anything. Most holes I teed off with a 4 iron which is plenty of distance to convert par 4s. My biggest complaint is that the greens are pockmarked massively, and the tee boxes are chewed up so sometimes the tees were compressed, shortening an already short course.
