Avila Beach Golf Resort

About
Avila Beach Golf Resort is located right along the bay, giving it a scenic setting that has made it the most well known of the Central Coast golf courses. The layout offers plenty of variety with a hilly front nine that features small, often elevated, greens that are surrounded by oak-lined valleys and a back nine that that is routed across a tidal estuary. Golfers should be prepared for forced carries over water and multi-tiered greens on the backside. At first the course may seem short, but thanks to the dramatic elevation changes and numerous other challenges, it will begin to feel much longer. There are several severe doglegs throughout as well as tight approaches. Avila Beach Golf Resort is not a layout where you can easily "grip it and rip it." Rather, accuracy and good course-management are rewarded.

Food is Fantastic! Golf...Eh..
The food at Mulligans is fantastic. Ate lunch one day and breakfast the next. Staff in the snackbar were great.
The Pro Shop staff both days were not overly helpful.
Carts were dirty, and the driving range was atrocious. Between the weed fairways and gopher holes throughout, the course is hard to give a higher rating. The course layout is fantastic and could be top-notch. The wildlife was incredible, as a bird sanctuary.
I want to give it a higher rating....I just can't.
Dog Track
The course CANNOT be in worse condition
Shame as the layout is good with dog legs and shot making required
needs so much work
I have been golfing here a few years. most of the cart paths are in terrible condition and worse so many are dirt roads. the fairways are the worst condition I've ever golfed on. the talk on the town for years has been the owners Just Let It Go which is just a shame. too expensive without the reward of a good course. definitely need a marshall. had a guy in front of me playing as a single hitting two balls, then at the turn went in to go use the restroom and two kids in their 20s jumped on 12 and slow dragged their way around the back nine.
Needs Work!!!!!!
The Course is in poor condition!! bridges washed out and not fixed. Course poorly groomed. Course bathrooms were in horrible condition. Owner needs to do a lot of work. range closed but in horrible condition.
Avila should be closed down.
Such bad shape. Used to play all the time, but now the track is by far in the worst shape it’s been in 25 years. Un cut tee box’s with gopher mounds, squirrel burrows in the fairway, bridges impassable, and overall poorly maintained. Owners should be embarrassed to let people play out there. Could be world class, but darn! Never pay full green fees here please! Morro Bay, Cypress, and even Monarch are way better options.
ok
it was worth it for the price.
when I started playing golf forty years ago Avila was one of the premier courses on the Central Coast of California, not any longer.
the tee boxes and fairways are in bad shape
the greens are ok. but for $32.00 I will play again.
Don’t waste your money
This course is horrible. The best feature is the cart. Tee box are none existent, the fairways are horrible, signage is terrible, and greens are terrible.
Great course that needs some love
This course was fun and had great views. The dirt cart path had major dips and the fairways could use some weeding or new grass but I feel like we got our money's worth! I will definitely come back for another round or two
Always Fun 😁
Avila was great. The weather was perfect. The workers are so friendly. And the course was in great condition.
Needs repair!
Poorly kept.
Cart paths closed and temps are not level.
Temps cross into play zones.
First time
This is a wonderful layout and beautiful course. The cart paths are in terrible shape and need attention as do several bridges that have been removed. The tee boxes are very difficult to locate. And more. Directional signs would help a lot! All in all, target golf, a challenging layout and spectacular views make this now one of my favorites….. please please please attend to much needed maintenance!
Sad condition!
Been playing this course since 1980 on a regular basis 3-4 times a year.
Never seen it in worse condition!
3 bridges out wrapped with crime tape to avoid crashing!
The opening tee box had 300 broken tees at 10 in the morning!
If you love watching the behaviors of the California ground Squirrel you will love this course, there are 250,000 of them running amok!
