The world-class Ojai Country Club was one of the first great golf courses in Southern California. Designed and originally built in 1923 under the direction of George C. Thomas, Jr. and Billy Bell, the course was hailed as "a marvel of golfing architecture." Thomas, who also designed courses at the Riviera, Bel-Air and Los Angeles country clubs, had two initial considerations for the Ojai course. The par 70 layout only stretches to 6,305 yards, but with six par 4s longer than 400 yards and three par 3s more than 200 yards, it’s no pushover thanks a redesign by Jay Morrish in 1988. The addition of two original “lost holes” brought back to life in 1999 has restored Ojai to its classic roots.
