Walked the Oak Tees Monday 1/10/22 with my buddy Steve and buddy Pedro needing to play the front nine twice to get 18 in just before complete darkness. Couldn't have had a better weather day around 70 degrees with no wind and with the sun setting on our second nine and nobody on the course it was breathtaking some of the sights we saw.

Super friendly staff inside the proshop and the new restaurant if you have not been inside looks awesome. They have a bar area where you can sit outside swivel your chair around and watch people hitting off the first tee.

Soule Park is in good condition for January and how much rain we endured and how cold the Temps get overnight.

Greens in good to great shape rolling pure and smooth. Semi quick holding shots nicely. Several tourneys in front of us so we fixed a couple extra ballmarks we saw. Rated solid 8/10

Fairways 50/50 green to brown all padded with good lies even for winter. Rated 7/10

Tees mostly level and in good shape. Some Tees are in the shade most of the day and are damp. Rated 7/10.

Was in greenside bunker first nine on hole 3 that had beautiful raked beach sand. The greenside bunkers here are beautiful and thick. Rated 8.5/10.

Rough was mowed down, thick in some spots and in decent to good shape. Rated 7/10.

Highly recommended..have fun. Great course

Jan. 10, 2022, I had the importunity to play Soule Park Golf Course with my buddies Gary and Steve that came to visit. Our Tee time was at 1:30pm and went out to the golf course thinking we could get on a little early. But to our surprised the golf course was pack, they had the senior and skin tournaments.

Gentleman in the Proshot try his best to get us early but there was not way. We went out exactly at our Tee Time. We waited very much in every hole in the front nine. We finished our first nine by 4:30pm and played the front night again where we had nobody in front and finished our 18 holes in the dark. We had a blast.

Now talking about the golf course, as Soul Park is having so many golfers the tees are totally getting bit up most of them need a little TLC, to many ball debits and not level to get place your ball. The Fairways are totally feeling the spring season, rough was great and the sand bunkers were just beautiful had plenty of sand in them and it was easy to get out. The greens were in good shape the ball was running well but again to many ball makers that our fellow golfers are not taking care of them.

Customer services as always class A. Over all I rate this Golf Course a 7.5. I hope this review is helpful, as I love playing Soule Park and having dinner with my buddies after our game.


Thank you for taking the time to read my review. Remember get out there and enjoy our game that we love.

Played here on Tues. 10/26 with a 12:40 tee time. Senior rate with a cart comes to $46 weekdays which is a great price for such a great track. We got out about 20 minutes late and it was a very slow round waiting on every hole. Took 5 hours and we barely finished before dark.
Tee boxes were good and fairways are great with good coverage and a good amount of roll.
Bunkers had lots of very soft sand almost too much.
Greens are good but had some poorly repaired ball marks. The had shaved run ups around them so you could putt from 10-15 yards. The were fairly fast but held lines well.
Other than the pace of play it was a great day with clear skies and just a slight breeze. I wish this course was closer to home so I could play more often.Its a very fun layout in a canyon without homes.

Walked the orange tees this morning 10/18/21 at 11am with my buddy Pedro joined by 2 nice gentleman Peter and Steven. Pop was 4 hrs 50 minutes behind a packed tee sheet. Weather was in the high 60s with a 1 club swirling wind. Beautiful day for golf!

Greens were in great shape. Firm, true and looking beautiful even with some old ballmark damage. Made sure I fixed as many as I could see. These are some of the nicer surfaces around. Rated 8/10.

Fairways more lush than thin and in good shape with ample padding. Rated 7/10.

Beautiful bunkers with white marble sand. Was in greensude bunker on 3 that had great quality. Rakes provided and most traps I Walked by today were raked. Rated 8/10.

Tees were mostly all level and lush and in good shape with the occasional divot damage on the par 3s. Rated 7/10.

Rough was mowed down nicely and easy to play out of and in semi lush shape. Rated 7/10.

Great parkland layout with multiple chipping/putting options. Course is in very good shape for mid October. Recommended!

Today, my buddy Gary and played Soule Park Golf course. Our tee time was at 11:00am. The golf course was pack. The golf course is in great shape. The greens are in great shape the ball was rolling beautifully but the pin placement were very tough. Every green was set on slope and hard to read the line. The fairways are very well kept and in my opinion in the best shape for that I have seen and played in the month of October. The tees are well kept and first and Ike that I hav seen golfers fix their ball debits. Customer service always the best. Finished our round in 4 hours and 45 minutes. Overall a rate Soule Park an 8 in all areas. The bunkers were ok.

Played 10-13-21 from the Orange tees, with John, Gary, and Kevin getting around the course in a little over 5 hours waiting some on almost every hole on a busy afternoon. Tee boxes mostly in good condition with some divot damage on par threes. Fairways were still in good shape, lush and green with a little more roll out in the afternoon, and some minor brown areas. Rough was cut down pretty low and fairly easy to hit from. Was in two greenside bunkers both were well groomed with nice white sand. Greens still rolling very nice and smooth except for some poorly repaired pitch marks (not the fault of the course) , medium/fast pace and semi-soft. Overall very good conditions in a great setting and fun to play.

Played Soule Park yesterday with GKers kviser, rgm2525 and GDR23. Super time. Beautiful weather in Ojai on a fantastic golf course in great condition. My previous round at Soule Park was in August 2020. Wow has this place grown in popularity and what I love is they are putting that success back into the golf course in the form of even better turf management as well as major clubhouse renovations/improvements. I don’t think I can call this place a hidden gem anymore. Very happy for Soule Park GC and more so for golfers that are playing it.

Conditions are impressive given how dry the region has been. Greens running fast, smooth (with exception to ball mark damage) and holding shots. Aprons (remember Rustic Canyon in the early years with tight cut aprons ... that’s what they have here now) mostly smooth and fun to play off. Fairways mostly lush with some dry areas. Rough, little over fairway height in most places, hardly penal, unless you find some the 1 to 2 foot fescue secondary rough. Sand traps, great shape with quality sand. Some holes contain newer sand which can cause many fried egg or partially plugged lies. Tee boxes, we played the Orange Tees, likely the most popular at Soule Park, had some divot damage and at times not very level but overall lush and a pleasure to play from.

As far as layout, this place is a blast. Grip and rip but with serious consequences if you go too far off line. Lots of variety from hole to hole as far as doglegs, elevation changes, length and green complexes. And herein lies the biggest fun factor of the layout, the green complexes. They come in a large variety sizes and shapes with low cut aprons around them allowing many creative short game shots. Once on the greens, get ready for some roller coaster putts requiring excellent reads and distance control. Do your best not to be above the hole and be on the correct sections. I had a four putt on hole 4 being on the wrong side of the green in regulation (happy roarksown1? - lol).

Beyond the fun layout is of course the location which features a peaceful ambiance loaded with gorgous scenery/views. Rather than me describe it verbally please check out the photos I just posted.

Highly Recommended

Played today, 12:40 tee time, great weather. It’s been a while since I last played here. Lots of cosmetic improvements around the clubhouse in progress. It’s going to be very nice when it’s completed.

We played the orange tees, 6588 yds., which seemed like a good amount of golf for me; maybe a little on the short side for the bombers in our group. Pace was a bit slow early on but improved on the back nine. It was around five hours total.

This course is almost all kikuyu grass, except for the greens. I believe the greens are bent grass. There were huge aprons/collars reminiscent of Rustic Canyon. They rolled fast and true and were fairly soft. Only drawback was a lot of ball marks to fix, especially Hole 18 approach apron. Tees were all good with lots of level ground and good turf conditions. Fairways looked great. Good turf coverage everywhere and mowed tight enough to give some roll. It was nice to hit from. Rough was mostly good but got sketchy the further off line you got. Bunkers were very nice with plenty of soft, white sand. There were rakes as well, so that’s good.

Kudos to the grounds crew and maintenance superintendent as the overall course conditions are very good. Additionally, this course sits on a very nice piece of real estate with sweeping mountain vistas from most anywhere on property. The Ojai Valley is a beautiful place and having played here both early and late in the day I’m always impressed. On a side note, the bar (temporarily relocated to the banquet room) had a good selection of beers.

Big thanks to Johnny and Soule Park GC for a great time. I will be back and highly recommend this course.

Walked the Orange tees this afternoon 10/13/2021 at 12:45pm with Johnny, Ron and Kevin. Great group of gentlemen to play with. Our Pop was just under 5 hours on a packed tee sheet on a Wednesday!. Soule is on fire!. We had a one club breeze for most of the day with perfect weather in the mid 70s. Thanks to the friendly staff for having us out. The greens were firmer today and were in great shape! I had my fair share of putts today roll by the hole, yikers! We fixed a couple extra ballmarks each on several greens. The greens here are huge, undulating and have several places to tuck the pins on humps, bumps and slopes. Rated 8/10. The fairways are still majority green and contained nice coverage. Rated 7/10 Tees were mostly level and lush with some par 3 divot damage. Rated 7/10 Was in one bunker on 16 that had ample thick beach sand. We saw 2 plugged lies as a group today. They have beautiful quality sand here. Bunker rating 8/10 Rough was in decent shape, mostly mowed down and not to penal. Semi lush in most spots. Rated 7/10. Love the layout here. Highly recommended!
