Goat Hill Park
Played On 03/23/2018Great little course
Played the Goat twice last week for the first time. I had heard a lot of great things about the course and decided it was about time I made my way to Oceanside. I am really glad I finally made my way up there from Cardiff. First impression walking up to the clubhouse is it is the anti-private club. Laid back, reggae music playing, and super friendly staff and players.....as they say, it is blue collar golf. The course is just about the hilliest course I have ever played. The greens are great and the fairways and collars are well manicured. Not sure why some reviews reference the poor condition of the course, I found it to be in pretty darn good shape. That being said, if you hit a bad shot it will be penalized. However, unlike most short courses, you'll hit every club in your bag and will no doubt be challenged. It's a shot makers course so bring your A game.

Played On 09/09/2015Fantastic course and service
Final stop on my trip from SD to Monterey. Tough to say which was my favorite between here, La P, and Bayonet. I got a great deal on Golfnow so had to pull the trigger. I was going to play Rancho Maria but the pro shop didn't want to work with me on the timing of my hotdeal. Side note, I get that golf courses despise hotdeals since they make no money off them but there is value in selling food/drinks plus reviews such as these.
Ojai treated me like any other guest, let me go off early and even mentioned that I could replay the holes that I skipped due to a slow foursome. They get customer service since while I golfed 27+ holes my new wife spent $250 on spa services.
I've played the course a couple of times but had forgotten the variety it presents. For some reason I remembered it being like La Costa but it is actually much more like Aviara and Maderas. At $40 it was a steal even if the temp was pushing 100. Looking forward to heading back in the future.

Played On 03/30/2015Closing today
For a course that is closing for good this afternoon the course was great. Greens were fantastic and the fairways were good. Doesn't hurt that I had my first hole in one on #9. Sad to see it go.
