Avila Beach Golf Resort

Front nine is tough, all about placement then distance for sure. Back nine seemed to open up a bit with nice views of the water and some great fun holes! Fun layout, greens are consistent but the tee boxes definitely need some work and upgrading. Food at Mulligan’s was good! Staff was super friendly and very helpful since this was my first time playing there. Will definitely return as long as Golfnow has these great deals!

Just about all fairways are like hitting off hard pan sand traps terrible. Maybe it’s the climate

Enjoyed Avila Beach Golf Course....it was a beautiful day. Greens are pretty nice. I'll come back again, expecially because of the price.

I come here annually to play this course. It’s a beautiful setting and often hook up with greatly, friendly golfers. This is my go to course while vacationing in San Luis Obispo.

Have played hundreds of courses and this one is in the top 5 of worst ever. The layout and condition are a total joke. Tee boxes uneven, fairways rough and bumpy.Only thing in good shape were the greens,,,,if you like blind shots to elevated table tops with fall offs on every side. No signage so wandered around trying to find next tee on couple of holes. Most exciting part is you get to hit over the river 3 or 4 times. Looks farther than it is, so a mental challenge.

Wouldn't play again if they paid me 40 bucks.

I thought I liked Avila the first time playing it, but this time wasn’t as good. Pace of play was terrible, and some holes were in rough shape. Most sand traps were terrible. It would be better if the people playing picked up the pace, because $39 isn’t bad for a course like this.

First time playing the course. Fairway and sand trap conditions not perfect but fine for COVID times. Absolute wonderful course layout and some beautiful view holes.

Next time I’m in the SLO area this is the course I’ll play.

Avila is in a great location and has a fun layout, but the course is a disaster. Every green has large cracks running through it from being dried out. Also one of the most expensive courses. I’d look elsewhere. Lots of local courses on the central coasts that are being well maintained. Last thing that got me was calling for food at the turn and being told that they stop serving food at 4. When I hung up and looked at my phone it was exactly 4:00. Disappointing experience. I live in Avila, but will be taking the time to travel farther to a decent course.

The staff were wonderful even complying with restrictions mandated by the government. The course was fun and challenging. My only complaint was the poor condition of the cart paths. But I would certainly return and highly recommend this course to others.

Great course, a hidden gem. Staff was friendly, prices are reasonable, and the scenery was awesome. In addition to great golf, at certain points we saw a mule deer, several hawks including a nest of babies, and several other birds including turkeys. Greens were great and pace of play was 4 hours. Two distinct nines, through tree lines on the front and An inlet of the ocean and beach views on the back. Can’t wait to come back!
