Ojai Valley Inn

Ojai Valley Inn is a gem. Its like playing Bel Air or Riviera without the $100K+ membership fee. Course conditions were good but not awesome due to recent very heavy rains. The ball would land and stop immediately. Oddly enough, the greens were very hard and extremely fast. certainly not what you expect at a resort course. However, they were fair and rolled true. The staff is very friendly. Jim, the starter has been there forever and is a delight. He remembers frequent players and if there is a large outing will do everything possible to get you out in front of them. A real pro. Ojai Valley Inn is like stepping back in time and playing in the 1940s or 50s. Pace is quick. I've played there a dozen times or more and only once did my round exceed 4 hours. just a delightful golf experience.

Playing holes 12 and 13, we had random guests and their children running on to the Course, during live play. I would hope, for the safety of their guests, this issue should be addressed immediately!

The course has several ravines and if you just miss the fairway plan on hiking down to retrieve your ball. Overall condition of the course was good but for the price I cannot recommend playing here. If you want to play in the area check out Soule Park. $49 and is way more fun to play.

This course is an absolute blast. It’s not very long, but requires some good shotmaking. The original course architect also designed courses Los Angeles Country Club and Riviera so the fact that the public gets to play Ojai Valley Inn is a real treat. Not to mention the course being located within a true 5 star resort! I drive 75 miles each way regularly to play this course and I’d consider it my home course even though there are dozens of other courses closer to where I live.

Wish the app was smart enough to tell us the course was recently punched. Tees were all sand and greens were not putt worthy.

Great course, friendly staff, especially Mark at the clubhouse check in! Nice course narrow at places but majestic and beautiful. Must try!

We love playing this course, not only for the challenge but the beauty that lies in and around the entire property. It's the type of round that we always wish didn't end after 18 holes! Well worth the price!

The course had just been aerated but the traps and fairways were excellent!

Firstly, finding parking and the pro shop is confusing if you never played the course. Ojai Valley Inn is a huge property . Once on the property, I followed the long winding road and signs to golf parking which had a couple of areas. Once I found parking, I called the reservation desk for assistance for directions to the pro shop. She was very helpful. A shuttle was sent out to pick me up and had taken me to the pro shop. Once there the staff had given me all the information that I needed to have a great round. The course layout is challenging on some holes but fair. Course familiarity is huge for landing spots and targets. The fairways are in excellent condition. The tee boxes are level for the most part. The greens are in excellent shape and fast. The pace was good. All the staff were nice and friendly, top-notch.

Don’t miss playing this course! Classic holes, beautiful views, friendly staff. We had a wonderful day on the course. Great avocado toast in The Oak!
