Olivas Links Golf Course

Olivas Links Golf Course, a municipal links-style layout in Ventura, California, was designed by Forrest Richardson and plays across terrain shaped by the Santa Clara River and Ventura Harbor, with native plant life and natural swales and grooves defining the character of the 18 holes. Rated 4.5 by 90+ Hole19 golfers, it is a popular round among Hole19 golfers in California. Practice facilities are extensive. A 30-plus stall driving range features target greens at varying distances and a barrel with bullseye; golfers play from mats Monday through Thursday and grass Friday through Sunday. A spacious putting green has nine flagged holes, and a separate chipping green includes a sand bunker and four flagged target holes. Private lessons are available by appointment, with group lessons offered through Ventura City Parks and Recreation. The pro shop carries professional staff who offer club re-gripping, along with regular demo days and fittings from top industry names.
