Warmer Golf

This can be found within an hour’s drive in the Ojai Valley.

Ojai features two championship layouts with Soule Park and the Ojai Valley Inn courses.

In 2005 the Soule Park Golf Course was given a new look.

They decided to keep most of the original layout but make enough changes to give Soule Park the classic feel similar to the Ojai Valley Inn.

Number 3 is the old Number 10.After that the biggest change is the loss of Hole 7, “The Monster.” The remodeled layout now has this as the 16th hole, a long par four which plays to the old lay-up spot.

Number 17 now plays across the creek and is a much longer par four.

The “Lost Holes” have put some extra teeth into the course in recent years, especially the tough downhill par three addition.

Most will take Highway 101 down to Highway 33, which feeds right into downtown Ojai.

The most reliable company in this field for the past couple of decades has been Project X, whose shafts are widely played on all professional tours including 23 wins worldwide in 2013.
