Built in 1923, Ojai Valley Inn & Spa is one of southern California's first great golf destinations. In the eight decades that the course has been open, it has compiled an impressive list of both pro and celebrity guests from Arnold Palmer and Gary Player to Bob Hope and Kevin Costner. In 1988, Jay Moorish made the greens more challenging and in 1999, the resort reintroduced two "lost holes" that were lost when the course was redesigned after WWII. The original designs of the two holes were fully restored and incorporated into the layout. It's a challenging but fair layout that's not overly long at just under 6,300 yards. The final hole, named after PGA Tour player Jimmy Demaret, is the most difficult hole on the golf course. This par 5 doglegs right with a narrow fairway that leads to a well protected green.
