Avila Beach Golf Resort

Avila Beach golf course has such great potential. Situated near the coast line, the back 9 has some great views of the ocean and beach. Greens are in in great shape as is 75% of the rest of the course. However, there are areas that need some care that will take an average playing experience into a phenomenal day.. Practice facility is a shambles. Entire driving range needs mat replacements, landscaping work, gopher extermination, and the like. Practice green is in great shape. Good value for the dollar. Good combination of uphill, downhill, blind shots, etc. Just needs better grounds maintenance. Fantastic food at the on-site restaurant. Very friendly staff.

This course is so beautiful! But the course upkeep has been questionable. Some tee boxes are out of shape and there's no sand in some of the traps. But a real head scratcher is the location of the white tees on hole #2. There is a chute about 25 feet wide 10 yards in front of the tee. That's tough enough but the trees also overhang the shot so low there's no way you can hit any kind of shot other than a knockdown or chip! The very elevated hole a bit less than 300 away, but they call it a par 4 since you can't hit a normal shot. C'mon man! Otherwise I love this place.

This was an awesome course

Greens and course Overall were in great shape for this time of year.

Would highly recommend it.

The only drawback was the lack of sound in the bunkers .

But who plays golf in the bunkers, right .

Took way too long to play 18 holes. 2 groups ahead in front of me were slow as turtles. Where’s the Marshall?

If I hadn’t gotten a deal on golf now I wouldn’t have played. Beautiful course though.

I've been wanting to play this course for years. The course is in terrible condition and not worth the money which is to bad. I've never seen a resort golf course in such poor condition. The greens have fungas and bald spots on most holes. The fairways were thin with bald spots. Some of the tee box's look like they hadn't been mowed in a few weeks. The cart paths need to be completely replaced.

Will I ever play it again? Probably not. This is a real shame because the course could really be something special.

Nice layout and the live music in the evening was fun, but the course could be in better shape. Sand traps need work.

The padded seats on the golf carts, were like sitting in a luxury sedan !!!

Love the course! Second time here and the staff was awesome and the greens were great and never felt rushed once since I brought my daughter. Recommend this place to everyone.

For the deal I got from Golf passed it was an excellent day of golf. Everybody at the course was extremely friendly and helpful from the starter hut person, pro shop and parking people and the gal selling refreshments on the course. Very satisfied. Some holes were closed due to a concert but overall all a very pleasant afternoon.

I do not recommend playing this course if there is a concert that day!? We tried but it was so unorganized and the extra holes were not good I would not recommend ever playing during a concert

The course provides a great coastal experience. Greens are receptive with both large and small targets. The fairways are often lined with trees, elevation changes and water/hazard carry to greens which can maybe slow down play with higher handicaps. The back 9 is more flat in topagraphy than front side

Kikuyu grass sets up the ball nicely for clean strikes. And of course beautiful scenery located at the beach in a small quaint town.

I played using discount offer in a Thursday afternoon. I know other days and times can provide 5 hour rounds while today was clear sailing. That made it an excellent value. Everyday pricing can be a bit high for the venue as is.

My wife and I played this course yesterday and it was a perfect day of golf. We are from Idaho and this course looks very representative of a central coast course close to the water. The course conditions were good and the staff was very helpful. The course design was challenging but had lots of "safe" spots to aim for. I could see that playing it more often would yield a better score. We would definitely play it again!
