Carl-Van Vallier is a PGA golf instructor at Olivas Links Golf Course in Ventura, a public course set on the Ventura River estuary with views across the Santa Clara River lowlands to the ocean and the Channel Islands beyond — one of the more scenically positioned public facilities on the Southern California coast. The coastal location brings the wind management demands that define seaside golf to every lesson and every round, and Vallier's instruction at Olivas Links develops the trajectory control and club selection judgment that allow students to score consistently in conditions that vary meaningfully with the time of day and the state of the marine layer. His teaching is accessible to the full Ventura County golf community at a daily-fee facility that provides an authentic coastal golf experience at a public course price.
