Avila Beach Golf Resort

Five million dollars to upgrade this course would make it easier to play. Grounds need major remodeling. Alright they have new golf carts but that doesn't make a golf course great. No plans to play there again. I live in the Coachella valley and all courses are kept up with amazing care. The Avila could be amazing but needs that $5m to redue.

With some capital investment and TLC this place could be really nice. Good bones, A course map would have been helpful. The fairways need most of the attention, the greens could be great with some more care.

The course is in the best condition that I have experienced over the last 10 years.

The range was not in good shape. Greens were in great shape, fairways & tees moderately good. Course was a little difficult to follow. Could use better directional signage. We missed one hole, didn't realize it until we went to the next (second) hole and saw that we'd missed it. Never wound up playing it. The day was hot and there wasn't any drinking water on the course. Mulligans was nice, staff was fun and food was good + reasonably priced.

Despite the rough fairway ,most greens were in ok condition. This local Avila Beach course is challenging due to narrow and hilly fairways! New golf carts with GPS is a plus. All in all a fun day of golf!

Course was in fair shape. Due to an event they had multiple holes were closed and the temporary holes were pretty bad. Not to mention after #9 we had no idea where we going. It took us so long the group behind us caught up to us before we knew where to tee off on #10.

Thank God the new carts have electronics to show you hole layouts. Otherwise we had no idea where we were going.

Myself and brothers did have a great time, and the layout of the course is very fun. Especially the front 9.

We've played this course before and enjoy it for its challenges. Narrow fairways, hills and tricky greens. They git new golf carts with GPS so it helps. Staff is always friendly and Mulligans for a beer and Lunch a huge plus. Don't take your game so seriously here, and have fun!

We didn’t realize until we checked in at the pro shop that they didn’t have any carts available. They just got new ones, but they weren’t ready, and they’d already gotten rid of the old ones. Plus, they only had one push cart left. So I took some clubs and balls out and carried my bag for the first time in 10+ years.

The course has been in pretty bad shape for years, and still is: lots of trash, weeds in the bunkers, cow pasture fairways and bumpy greens. But the layout is nice, we had the place to ourselves, and the price wasn’t bad. And now they have new carts.

Pace was quick because no one was playing because the course is in such bad shape. Have to learn how to read the fungus on the greens. Lol

Course was in rough shape, fairways were dry, greens were not good with different kind of grass, moss and bald spots. Most importantly very poor markings to identify pathway to next tee box, some didn’t even have monuments. Overall signage was terrible. Probably would not golf here again.

Some of the greens were really bad had cracks in the greens.alot of leaves on the greens. The fairways were okay.

First time playing this course, also maybe the only time I play this course. Got a good deal on golf now vs the full price at the course, which is why we chose this course, that and the close proximity to our stay and the beach. We were only in town for the day so we just picked it at random. The course is very difficult. Narrow fairways. Blind holes. Lots of hills and elevation changes on the front 9. You could hit the left of the fairway and your ball will roll all the way to the rough in the right fairway. Long holes. Small greens. ton of ground squirrel holes. Greens were in pretty rough shape, very dry and cracked like you were playing on a lava field. Tee boxes were hard to find and wasnt completely obvious which way to go, so we spent a lot of time just trying to find the next tee box. Lost quite a few balls. Overall not as enjoyable as I would have preferred. Back 9 was more enjoyable but still difficult. Pace of play was fine, but it wasnt too busy on a Monday afternoon.

Grow up on the central coast, have played here for years. Will never go back. Drive to a random cow farm and offer the farmer 40$ to hit balls into his field will find nicer conditions there! Staff were nice, food was really good. It’s a concert venue first, a pickleball spot 2nd and calling it a golf course is really embarrassing

I played this course before and I keep coming back because the Golf Now rate is so good but the course is not in very good shape. Fairways are so rough and the greens are starting to show disease problems, but the rate is wonderful and I’ll play it again. Also, the staff is very professional and friendly.

It’s really a shame that a golf course in a wonderful setting like this has essentially gone to seed. There are weed patches in the middle of some greens. Some fairways are dry and hard and where they are not the gophers rule. It’s nearly impossible to keep your second shot on the fairway of the par 5 3rd hole because it’s so dry that the ball will roll down the hill into a ditch, no matter where you play it. There are cart damaging potholes on most of the cartpaths. Please, somebody buy this golf course and bring it back to its original splendor!

As I’ve said before this course is a nice track and the greens are in fair condition, but the fairways are really really bad. They are so rough and full of squirrel holes It’s very difficult to drive your cart on the Fairways
