Guest Danger

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!

Ring Plenty of Balls

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.

Super fun course

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.

Great course, but aeration has just occurred.

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

Classic and challenging course!

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!

Hidden gem

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.
