Great people, excellent course

Was recommended in going there and wasn’t disappointed. The staff is top notch and the course for being in socal was nice and green. Good challenging holes and played pretty quick for a Sunday

A beautiful setting.

I love this course. The setting, the scenery, the condition of the course, what’s not to love. With a nice mix of long and short par threes and fours, you’ll use every club in your bag. The lost holes, (16-17), are challenging, but #18 makes for a weak finish. Overall, this course should be on every golfer’s “must play” list.

Wonderful round at Ojai Valley Inn

We played in July and it was quite hot, although that was not a real issue as we had an electric cart. The course was in excellent condition. It was a great round. We had no one in front and no one in back of us. I have played this course several times and always enjoy it. It's an old classic with mature trees and beautiful surroundings.

Front nine is a jewel.

The front nine is great terrain driven golf course design. They need to figure out hole 18 and The Farmhouse.

Timeless classic

Ojai Valley Inn is a classic old school golf course. Tree-lined, tightly bunkered and beautiful. Not particularly long, but you will use every club in your bag. Only disappointment is they significantly shortened the 18th hole, which used to be one of the toughest in Southern California.

A real treat with a very friendly staff. You can play quick during the week, but weekends are quite crowded after 7:30 am or so.

Amazing Course

Great course and smooth play. The most comfortable carts are included and they hooked up water and ice. The cart has GPS and seems accurate.

It is a beautiful course, but a bit confusing in the beginning. The first 2 holes were extremely challenging. Hole number 1 was frustrating. If you got on the right side it was a massively sloped frustration. # 2 was impossible to guess. After that it became easier to get a handle on it.

What a beautiful day.

Still has it!

Haven’t been here in 15 years. Had read some critical reviews and was worried that they’d gone through same post-pandemic challenges as others. Turned out to be fantastic - great track, great course condition, wonderful staff and solid pace, especially since slower resort guests let me play through. I’ll be back!
