    I visited Soule Park Golf Course on Sunday, March 22 for the first time, and I have to say--it…read moreexceeded my expectations. We had a 2 PM tee time but arrived early to warm up, and right away the atmosphere stood out. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly, which made a big difference as a newer golfer. Special shoutout to Jonny--he was bartending but also out golfing, and he took the time to give me helpful tips and even treated me to a coffee. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and really elevated the experience. The course itself is beautiful. You get stunning Ojai valley views throughout, and the layout is both enjoyable and beginner-friendly while still being engaging. The grounds were clean and well-maintained overall. There are some areas with a running stream, which does attract a fair amount of bugs, but it's understandable given the natural setting. You can also tell they're actively investing in improvements--there was some visible construction, but it didn't take away from the experience. If anything, it shows they're working to make the course even better. Price-wise, it's a great value. It was about $20 cheaper than the Ojai Valley Inn course, which makes it a solid option without sacrificing quality. We ended up playing 9 holes since we had dinner reservations, but I easily could've stayed longer. There's also a restaurant on-site, which is a plus, though we opted for sushi elsewhere. Overall, this was an amazing first experience, and I can confidently say this might be my new favorite place to golf. I'll definitely be back. Thanks again, Jonny! AS ALWAYS THESE ARE MY OPINIONS.

    An absolute Gem for the price $45 with Cart. The course condition here are on country club level…read moreGreens roll pure, fairways smooth, and the views of the mountains along with the meandering river and epic forests make an amazing scenery. and the food here is amazing and the restaurant has a scenic overlook of the course and the valley. I would recommend anyone coming here to eat at the restaurant.

    - Bait-and-switch pricing, rude management, and poor course conditions…read more I would not recommend Buena Ventura Golf Course. My experience was disappointing from start to finish, and it was absolutely not worth the time or the money. First issue: misleading pricing on the website. The website advertises $26 twilight golf, which already sounded suspiciously cheap. I called the pro shop to confirm, and the employee told me "yes, that's the twilight rate." What was not mentioned is that this price is walking only. Once you add a cart, the actual price jumps significantly. My 1:40 pm tee time ended up costing $44 per person, and because I brought my girlfriend, that became $88 total--nearly double what the website implies. Second issue: confusing and inconsistent policies. At check-in, I asked management if there was a cheaper option or if we could just play nine holes. I was told no, you must pay for all 18. I was then told, "You can golf as long as you can see the ball." No one mentioned any cutoff time, curfew, or requirement to be back by a certain hour. picture below of when Told " we don't allow glow in the dark golf balls " by the time you hit that is the time you should go " So we played. By the 14th hole, it was not even dark yet, and we were using glow-in-the-dark balls. Suddenly, a manager (or supervisor) with a mustache drove up and aggressively told us we had to leave immediately--not asking, not explaining, just ordering us off the course in an extremely rude and disrespectful manner. The tone was hostile, condescending, and completely unprofessional. There was zero attempt to communicate respectfully or clarify policy. Third issue: course conditions were terrible. * Greens were rough and poorly maintained * Tee boxes were beat up * Fairways had large brown patches * Balls constantly landed on hard dirt instead of grass This course does not justify the price, especially considering the attitude and lack of customer service. Bottom line: If you live in Thousand Oaks or the Conejo Valley and are thinking about driving 45 minutes out here because you think you're getting a deal--don't do it. Stay local. Courses like Los Robles or Lake Lindero are far better maintained, and the staff actually treats golfers with respect. I will never play here again, and I do not recommend this course to anyone

    Course was in good shape, wish the snack bar was open. Play was slow as many families were out as…read moreit was Easter. Great experience and great opportunity to introduce my 14year old grandson to the sport. Staff was fantastic. I definitely will be back.

The greens are great and speed of play is excellent. The tennis and pickleball has its own pro shop and stadium court and the pool is fantastic. They have a social membership and a pool membership where you can dine at Topa Restaurant which is amazing. I highly recommend checking out this club for their amenities, having an event and especially joining.

    This is a golf only review based on one playing in Summer of 2021 for a charity scramble. I have no…read moreopinion of membership, club or anything else except what I actually mention. The facts: Course is hilly. Fairways narrow. Rough is easy. Sand is consistent and nice. Trees are plentiful and well maintained, offering some shade and bordering fairways. Greens ran about 10 and were in very nice condition, as was the whole course. This is not a walkable course. Plays 5835 from Whites, 6278 from Blues and 6748 from Blacks. Par is 71. Rating: 72.4-68, Slope 135-123. Practice facilities: Range is wonky. It's very narrow (not the range itself, the area between the cart path and the hill's edge), only about 15 bays and is so downhill that it's really difficult to adjudge distance. The balls are standard range balls (not restricted) and fairly new. The putting green was well maintained, the size of a very long green, 80' X 35'? (est). The putting green was quite sloped, but was very consistent with stimp on greens. I saw no chipping/pitching or bunker practice area, but I could have missed it. Clubhouse: Super standard new private club architecture. Nice but nothing special. Lockers and bathrooms and facilities very clean and a bit generic. Staff: I had just a couple interactions with SH staff as it was a charity tourney run by volunteers but the ones I did talk to were particularly nice, in a genuine way. GOLF COURSE. Let me just get this out of the way. I have no idea why anyone would be a member of a course that is unwalkable, but hey, differences in tastes is what makes things interesting. So, I played in a scramble tourney from the whites and I'm a 5 handicap so I shouldn't be playing from the whites, but you know, whatever. This course at 6748 would be quite different than from 5835. And when you are playing a scramble the tactics are SO different than if you are playing for score and playing the course for the first time. Once one of my team members was in the fairway at 200-250, I'd just bomb it, trying to drive the green or close. Half the par 4's are drivable or close. If I played this course from gross score, I'd pretty much never hit driver from the whites probably not even from the tips. I'd be hitting a 4 iron. There are SO many blind tee shots. I'm not a fan. I do not like courses built into the sides of hills. You don't know what the tee shots are going to do. So many times I hit shots to the left side of the fairway and they ended up on the right or visa versa. If you are playing this course for the first time and aren't going to be playing it a lot, and not in a scramble, play ultra conservatively. I lost a couple drives that I hit exactly where I wanted to hit them but then I realized my target was off. The one thing that helps is the touch-screen GPS on the carts. Use it! I should have done a better job with that. It can really help you pick your spots. Speaking of carts. Enter through the fairways through the yellow stakes as indicated or the cart will seize up on you sometimes. And the cart seats are really comfy, too. So, yeah. This course is like so many courses in OC and Ventura counties that are built into the side of hills. I've played and reviewed quite a few of them. Not a fan. I only play when it's about hanging out with friends or free golf (as opposed to just pure golf scoring), but if you like these type of courses, this is a pretty good one. Well maintained. Great greens (on par with LACC, Annandale, Rustic Canyon, Hacienda, Oakmont). Have Fun. FORE!
