Greens Punched - Overpriced
Little disappointed for the higher price. Greens need recovering and very bumpy and sandy still. If we knew that the birthday round would have been postponed. For the money we could have played a country club.
This course is poor
Course design chaotic, poor condition,pre and post golf very chaotic without assistance from Proshop
World Class Hospitality
The staff at this course and resort bend over backwards to make you feel taken care of. Course needs to dry out a bit more due to the recent rains but that it was really only the fairway on #13 that is still an issue. Greens were punched recently but I was playing well so didn't really care.
Fun Layout
This course has a great layout and is in good shape.
We played the day after the rain and it was cart path only and wet out but I will definitely come back.
Would be a great place to golf and hangout for some food and drinks after the round. They have a great patio with some live music playing.
Beautiful Course!
This was the first time I had golfed there and we had a great time! Course was wet due to recent rain, but it was a beautiful course. I would definitely play there again! The staff was courteous and had great attitudes and smiles - which only added to a great experience!
Below avg course, cart path only?
Course not in great shape and it wasn’t just the weather. No way a course of this quality should require cart path only. Unnecessarily slowed play when it wasn’t needed.
Unfortunate
This course needs to be restored badly. It’s been destroyed by development. Soule Park is better

Good day. Outstanding facilities and very warm and helpful staff. The assistance with our luggage and the friendliness of the staff at Jimmy’s were very much appreciated. Mark W at the golf course was incredibly nice and accommodating, as always! We will certainly be back! Thank you so much
Save some cash and head to Soule Park
I've played Ojai Valley Inn a few of times now and likely won't be back unless it's a free round.
There is never notice of cart path only, if I'll be starting on 1st or 10th tee, or partial closure of any holes (18 in particular seems to always be partially closed and requires using the front tees).
This last time around there was another group that was somehow booked for the exact same tee time. I'm sure that one of us was supposed to tee off on the 10th hole, but who wants that? We ended up sorting out the situation ourselves as no starter was around.
There is also never a marshal that goes around to monitor pace of play. I get that this is a world class resort so they likely don't want to make their guests feel rushed, but expect a 5+ hour round here.
The course itself is in amazing condition, but forgettable in layout. The front 9 are the highlight with the back 9 weaving in and out around the hotel property.
If you're really looking for the best golf in Ojai then I highly suggest Soule Park. Conditions are just as nice, better course layout, and a fraction of the cost.
Spencer and the staff at Ojai were just phenomenal!!
Shame what they are doing to this course
Ojai is a wonderful old track. They have ruined the superb finishing hole, by building some sort of spa building in the line of play.
The greens are fine, but the fairway conditions are very poor. Not much grass in a lot of places!
A Pleasant Round
The course is excellent with plenty of challenges and very beautiful holes. Checking in very efficient, starter great. All the administration flowed smoothly. Pace of play very good.
I had a wonderful experience and will return.
