Avila Beach Golf Resort

It was very peace and riverside.

Even I felt very dangerous play in back line. Too many people unplayed people near green and golf course. Course green condition was not very good, very hard most of Course. Layout was very hard to read it.

Good thing I got a great deal because I was a little disappointed with the course. There was a concert nearby so traffic and parking were difficult. Lots of people roaming around drinking. The course itself was ok, but dried out in places. Greens were in good shape. The back nine had holes in renovation so it was difficult to gauge the course. I would not want to pay the regular full price because the course is quite ordinary.

Condition of fairways and greens were bad needs proper maintenance

Not worth playing this course

We started at 1:40 and didn’t finish until 6:45. It was the slowest round of golf I’ve ever played. They book the tee times way too close together and it’s not worth your time on the weekends. The dad in the family in front of us got too drunk from all the waiting and somehow beached the cart on a hill behind the 11th green (no point in driving up there, but he was soggy) so that slowed us down even more. Like Blacklake, the course is very poorly maintained. I wish they’d raise the prices for both courses and maintain them better. Instead, I think we’re done coming here on the weekends.

Greens nice — fairways a little shaggy — bunkers are horrible. Driving range balls at least 10 years old.

Beautiful course. Not long but very small greens. Wild animals everywhere. Very nice and relaxing

I played in like 25mph winds so that definitely affected my enjoyment of the round, but was not the biggest factor . . . conditions! Ugh. This would be such a fun track if it was kept in good conditions. Greens were ok (6/10), but everything else needed lots of work. Tee boxes and fairways weedy and patchy. Bunkers rock hard. It is not an easy walk. Signage could be a lot better especially for getting to different tee boxes. I loved the back 9 layout with forced carries over beach inlet and the narrow opening on the first par 5 (#11?). Can't someone put some money into this course to take advantage of such a fun location. In the current condition I would only go back if I got another GolfNow deal AND happened to be in the area with an afternoon free.

Amazing layout. Great conditions. Greens are hard and fast but roll true. Really nice lady starter. Very helpful and informative about the course. One of the best values near the coast. Will definitely play again. Even saw a bunch of wild turkeys and dear on the course.

Everything about Avila Beach is wonderful, especially when the weather is good. This is the second time I have played here and we really enjoyed ourselves. That said, I am disappointed in the state of the bunkers; they are little more than base rock with a light layer of sand in them. Perhaps it is intentional but it seems like they would offer so much more of a challenge if they had sand in them. Other than that critique (fortunately, I was not in them much), I loved playing here and look forward to returning.

Had a very pleasant experience playing the course. Narrow fairways with slope made it a challenge. But that can only be expected with the amount of realistate the designer had to work with. The staff is very friendly and we had a great lunch at Mulligan's bar and grill.

Tees very uneven and ruff. Course conditon are not good, very little maintenance shown.
