Reviews
Soule is a one of one place. The views are incredible. It’s an approachable golf course for the high handicaps while still being challenging for low. The greens keep every round different. Been here 3x and every member of the staff + Zaidees I’ve interacted with couldn’t be more professional, courteous and understanding.
I went out to Soule Park as a last minute booking. Was able to get an 11:20 tee time right after the morning groups. I knew the #5 green had storm damage. You could tell how rough the water must have been rushing down. It was a big green before. So they were lucky that the green is still big enough for play. The conditions were excellent and even though I played lousy. I still had a very enjoyable experience.
Soule Park Golf Course is an absolute gem nestled in the scenic landscape of Ojai, California, and it’s only about 80 minutes from Los Angeles! From start to finish, my experience here was exceptional. The course is incredibly well-maintained, with lush, vibrant green grass that provides the perfect playing surface. You can tell the staff takes immense pride in keeping it pristine. The surroundings are simply stunning—rolling fairways lined with mature trees, picturesque rivers winding through the course, and charming bridges that add to the course’s natural beauty. The serene landscape is full of wildlife; I saw plenty of ducks, rabbits, and birds, which added to the peaceful, almost magical atmosphere. It’s easy to get lost in the tranquility of this place. The course itself was an excellent value—just $30 to play and $12 for a golf cart, which is a fantastic deal considering the quality of the course and the breathtaking views. Playing as the sun began to set was a highlight; the golden hues over the mountains and rivers made for an unforgettable backdrop and the perfect end to the day. If you’re in Ojai, Los Angeles, or anywhere nearby, Soule Park is a must-visit for any golf enthusiast or anyone looking to enjoy a beautiful day in nature. Can’t wait to return!
The course is phenomenal . Dont get me wrong. One of the best deals in Ventura county. But I have yet to play a Saturday round in sub 5 hours. Sometimes 5 hours 20 minutes. Seen guys shirtless on the course and also driving on greens. If you’re into Saturday rounds taking over 5 hours this is the place for you! I’ll never return here on the weekend, what a joke
If you find yourself in Ojai with a hankering for golf I have a place for you. Ojai's hottest course is Soule Park. This place has everything, smooth greens, lush fairways, challenging layout, excellent golf carts, super friendly employees (shoutout John,) a GONG! You can even get a beer with ice on the patio afterwards.
