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.

Never disappointed

My husband and I treat ourselves to this gem of a course as often as possible. From the moment we pull up to the spot to unload clubs from the car to loading up the golf cart, we are made to feel right at home, thanks largely to Mark! We always wish there were more than 18 holes because we never want the round to end! Can't wait to return to what we call our little slice of heaven!
