Avila Beach Golf Resort

I hadn't played Avila Beach GC in over 5 years and I had very low expectations about the course. Yes, it needs some TLC, especially the bunkers, cart paths, and tee boxes. The course has a beautiful layout and some fun challenges. The central coast got about 3 inches of rain a week ago, and this was very beneficial to the course. The greens were in good shape. I would recommend this course if you could get a "hot deal" and I will play it again. Right now, the priority seems to be a venue for weddings, concerts, fund raisers, and other events. Golf is taking a back seat and that's too bad because it could be a great golf course.

So disappointed and some what puzzled by all the 4 and 5 star review of this "golf course". I play golf all over the country, this has to be one of the poorest maintained I've ever played. From Tee Boxes to Greens pure crap. Poorly marked and routed, dry as a bone and full of weeds.

My guess there is a funding issue or plans to redevelop this land into a townhome community. I believe it is owned by a land developer, certainly does not have respectable golf facility in mind. Not one employee visible on the grounds. Packed it in after 9, it was that ridiculously managed, just not fun!

Were very excited to play at the Avila Beach Golf but course condition was way below expectation

course is not well maintained. no sand in traps, greens are diseased. fairways are hard and dry.

Fairways reminded me of a pasture. Holes were not easy to find with no map of the course itself. Some tee boxes you had to shoot between trees. probably wont play again.

Booked a very reasonable tee time (under $20 with a.cart). That said it was a good value. Green in good shape, fairways need some help in numerous spots, but I couldn’t pass up the inexpensive round.

This course has always been tough but with overgrown and uneven t boxes it makes it even harder. The fairways if you can call them that are very hard and patchy. Youll hit a bomb down the middle and be in-between grass patches. The greens were the only half way decent thing on the course but the patchiness that has been taking over the fairway is starting on the greens. I will not play this course again until some major changes happen especially not for the price they want. I used to really like this course too. Huge bummer.

Fairways are very poor, hardly any grass. Greens are slightly better to okay. Most sand traps are hard.

some bad spots on greens but vey little effect over all. most of greens in good shape. many bad lies while on fairways. not smooth

New policy of no riders ( non players) is a surprise. Have always had my wife ride along. Only way she could participate was to pay gree fnee. Mind boggling! Otherwise, course is the same as usual.
