Avila Beach Golf Resort

The course is in very poor condition. Hacked up and uneven tee boxes. Poorly maintained cart paths. Patchy grass on the fairways with clumps of clover and other weeds. No sand in the traps. Greens are decent. Only play if you get it on Golf Now for $14. Good place for a drink Thur. thru Sun. 5-7pm when they have music outside overlooking the water.

1 o’clock tee time. Let a couple of singles play through our group then had no one on us the entire round. The course was in decent shape except the bunkers. The were hard as a dirt road. They really lacked enough sand to make them playable. Everything was as expected or above considering the rate we paid.

Layout was strange. Fairways overrun--at times couldn't find the ball as it was not maintained. Hard sand bunkers. Tee box need repair. Will not return. Between this and Blacklake, I'd go to latter.

I enjoy playing this course… it is very fun and challenging

There are a lot of different looks

Saw pics of the course and it looks good. For the price the course was in poor shape. Several of the tee boxes were in very poor condition. Basically un mowed and cow pasture with clumps and uneven, etc. I found the course to be interesting but not for the price. Also the web site said that the cart was included at one point and then when checking out it was walking only. so I paid extra for the cart. We checked in and the person in the clubhouse said that since there were no golfers in front of us, between 12 and 1, that we could tee off when ready. We got to the starter and he told us we would have to wait until 1 since that was the twilight rate but that we could go back and pay extra for the difference. Very unpleasant person. I will look for another course whenever I am in the area. Also the full rate is very high for the quality of the course.

A course that's a 5 out of 10. Staff was nice, course is just ok, and traps are garbage. Greens are really quick and break to the ocean.

I’m not one to bash courses but this only seems fitting. Picture of course is definitely not current or close to true. I jokingly call it a cow pasture but I think a Billy Goat would starve at this course. The staff was super friendly but the course was overbooked with very slow playing golfers. Someone needed to either space the times out better or have a ranger out to increase pace of play. Driving range was a joke, hey hit balls into the side of this mountain.

On to the good things. Staff was super nice, in all aspects. The restaurant at the turn and the scenery of the ocean was super cool. But I was there for golf and this place is not a place for that. Sadly this was not a place I would recommend to others.

The course has an interesting layout. Greens are pretty tiny but in fair shape.

Fairway is in poor condition. Sand in the bunkers is hard, closer to dirt than sand. A few bunkers were going through a complete repair and were not available for play. Goose craps are everywhere.

After 12:00, the course is fully booked due to a deep discount. If you want to play in peace and quiet, pay a few bucks more to play regular tee times.

This course is in a great location with beautiful views next to the Pacific. It also has a variety of elements, including teeing off over water, elevated tees, and wooded areas with treeelined fairways. The downfalls is that the course doesn’t present as very well kept. The tee boxes are littered with broken tees, the grass is brown, divots not repaired, bunkers are empty of sand, and greens are very bumpy and not maintained. We had a great time, but would really like to see some course maintenance.

The course was challenging but fun with many great view points.

Staff was friendly and there was a great patio with a view of the ocean to sit and have a beverage after.

Was told investors bought property and building condos and a 9 hole golf course. Worst shape of any golf course I’ve ever played . Not worth a dime

tee boxes are chewed up and very uneven. Entire course is hard and dry. Some greens are unnecessarily tiny and difficult to make the ball stop due to firmness. Way too overpriced for the course's condition. Play elsewhere.

The course is very challenging from tee to green due to many elevation changes on front side, blind shots, and tree lined fairways. Walking was difficult due to long distances between many of the tees. Overall the greens, fairways and tees were in great shape for this time of year. There is pro shop, driving range and restaurant. The staff were great and accommodating. Definitely worth playing!

I play this course every time I’m in town, it’ s a great place to play. Unfortunately, golfers etiquette is left in the parking lot. Golf tees are left on the tee boxes, bunkers are not graded once used; why provide a rake? And the mens club, apparently have a strong investment in this course, totally rude, didn’t realize this was their private course.

My next outing, will be on a day their not controlling the course. I will not let a few golfers keep me away.
