Not with the money.

Everything was a hassle.

Getting around the resort is a pain.

Nothing is near anything else.

So many non golfers walking on the course created a distraction to golfers and injury risk to others.

Took 5:20 to play. Tee times should be spread out.

Dramatic

I'm from Miami, so the elevation changes here were eye opening and beautiful. One of the most beautiful and interesting courses I've played and a tremendous value for the money in my opinion. One thing, they desperately need a ranger to speed up pace of play. This is not a course for beginners and yet we found ourselves behind a foursome that were looking for their balls on every shot. They finally let us play through on hole 4, but then we caught another foursome that was also very slow. No one on the course to manage this, sadly.

Forget your handicap!!

This is extremely challenging =which is pricy for me since my usual round is under $100. It is very challenging and all my playing partners shot at least 10 shots over their handicap as did I.

Having said all of this, I would love to play here more often and tame this course. This will have to wait until I return from Missouri.

Fast greens and fairways are beat up

Course isn't in the best condition right now for the prjce ($140 rd). Greens are running very fast and the course is not near as lush as I've seen in the past. Brown patches too

Pace of play was like a parking lot on a freeway. Golf Now should give me a voucher to play for free on a day that they are not playing a death March tournament. Every three holes took an hour!! Ouch !!!

The pace of play was awful to say the least! The once a year player and snowbirds all showed up today with a tournament in the middle of the mix.

Pace of play - 5 1/2 hrs!!!

Normally this course does not have pace of play issues…but it did today…the price point normally results in far fewer golfers on the course…but today was packed…the marshall was MIA…that probably would have helped…one guy I was paired with called the pro shop from the 16th to complain…he said he was done and wanted a refund…and the course gave it to him!!! I quit after 17 holes and 5+ hours..didnt’ have the moxy to ask for a refund though!!!

Wonderful course and property

What a wonderful property. The course is fantastic, nice fairways that are nice and green. The greens are a little fast but not unplayable. The staff are so helpful and pleasant to interact and ask questions.

Ojai Valley Inn golf course is always a great experience.

My son and I always enjoy playing the Ojai Valley Inn golf course. The pace of play is good and the course is always in great shape. The greens were relatively fast and they rolled true. The course includes a number of interesting and unique holes with several changes in elevation. Check-in was easy though Parking is always a challenge. Overall a great experience.

Nearly perfect

I've been fortunate enough to play golf all over the country I live locally and this is always in my top 10 favorite courses to play. I brought my friend friends here Friday and although the weather turned on us the course was immaculate. Friendly staff. Highly recommended best greens in California

Mixed experience

Very confusing layout for the first time visitor. We parked where the signs indicated for “Golf and Spa”, a long way from the golf shop, then waited for a shuttle which didn’t come until we called for it. We lost 15 minutes of prep time for that. At the first tee we were told by members that they “Always” have the time we reserved and we’d have to wait. Ultimately, they “let” us go at our time since they were waiting for their 5th player. We played through a foursome on #11 and finished in about 3.5hrs.

Course conditions were good with great greens. Routing was a challenge for the first time player with several blind shots. They do have GPS and a “tips” sheet which helped some. The views and vistas are gorgeous and worth the visit at least once.
