Avila Beach Golf Resort

greens and tees have been greatly improved. cart paths are in need of improvement

Fun course where you need to think instead of just bombing your driver every hole. Has some unusual hole layouts, some may have you wondering where to hit the ball . The ocean is right there and has water features come into play. Greens in good shape. Course has a couple dry spots, but hey, for the price it is a cool course.

Played on a Monday at 6:30am. 7/29/13. It is nice to play with someone that has played the course. Myself and another golfer in our group of 3, had never played here either. Kenny, the local gave us suggestion on where we should try to place our ball. It helped out a lot, not that our shots went where we planned. We were done before10:00. they start you on back 9 on Mondays. Front 9 a lot of up and downs, back 9 pretty flat with blind shots.
Nice course. Will play for sure next time up the coast.

The front nine is much more appealing but very nice course.

This is one of the courses to play on the central coast! Don't miss out, it ranks with the best of them.

First of all, I have to say that I enjoyed the course. It had some interesting holes. Be aware that the white tees play much shorter than the yardage on the card indicates, particularly on the front side. If you want more of a challenge, step back to the blue tees.

The course conditions were good. The greens had this odd crosshatch cutting that I had never run across before but they rolled true, if a bit slow.

The staff was non-existant. I got there at 7:20 for an 8:16 start time, and was surprised that there was no bag drop. I have no problem carrying my own bag, but I thought this was a resort
course. As I passed the Bar/Grill, I wanted to get a cup of coffee. No luck, it was closed. I found the pro shop, and there was one person working there who signed me up for a cart and said, "Head out whenever you want". I asked if there was anyone else around to play with, and he said no. I was surprised at this, but that's OK. I hit a few golf balls on the irons-only range (this is not a good practice facility), and looked for the starter at the first hole. There was nobody, so I teed up and off I went.

This course is very nice! We were there in May and the weather was perfect. The greens well kept and loved some of the challenges.

The course is great, in a beautiful setting. The course is in really good condition. I'm not happy with golf now They told me that after 10 rounds I would no longer have to pay the extra fee but they keep charging and there is no no way to contact them. I'm very unhappy with them!!!

Course is well priced and fun to play. Course is not too difficult and provides a variety of green placements.

GREAT COURSE. A MUST PLAY WHILE ON THE CENTRAL COAST. VERY CHALLENGING.

Having never played this course I was pleased that they paired me up with players who had played this course before. And let me tell you, it was worth a million dollars! There were surprises that no one could have anticipated from a view from afar. An old course with beautiful mature trees, saw one deer and bull frogs that could sing with the best bear in the forest! Elevation changes that really surprised me, and would of been very difficult without the experience brought by my companions. Surprises galore, and that is all I'm going to say for now. Give it a try; you'll like it. And GolNow made the day with an outstanding green fee!
Thanks, GolfNow.

Enjoyed our 18 hole experience and had wanted to get in another 9. We went to the clubhouse to see what an additional nine would cost. We were told that they don't have a 9 hole greenfee and we would have to pay for 18. We were dissappointed and left. Management needs to consider adding that option.

Great weather, nice course, good times. If you are on the Central Coast, I would recommend playing this course. It's a great deal if you can get the GolfNow deal with a cart.

If you like fun, challenging courses, you should play here. The condition of the course is excellent, and the scenery is great!

I'm not sure what to say here. If nothing else this is a fun track. The layout is quirky and conditions are pretty scruffy except for the greens which I found hard to read. Also, there are some tight fairways, forced water carries and a couple of blind shots to deal with. I'm not sure beginners will enjoy playing here very much. If you take the 7AM hotdeal teetime it will be hard to hit balls before you go out. But they're happy to give you a bucket after the round .

Enjoyed the course very much. -----------------------------------------

I come here a lot and this course still is challenging. Great value for a college student when getting the hot deal of the day. Definitely one of the top courses in the area.

Course varies from flat to hilly, challenging shots between mature oaks, over water, through a cut in a hill, and gauging the roll due to the hills. Leave your slice and hook at home - you'll suffer in the roughs! Greens in good shape - play from the downhill side or you may be looking at a 3 putt! Great ambiance and enjoyable outing!

My husband and I enjoy playing Avila because it has a variety of challenging holes along with some fairly straightforward ones. We purchased a fairly good late afternoon discount rate on golfnow.com but found ourselves playing on a course with too many foursomes. We did now know that at this time of year Avila offers $18 rounds Mon-Thurs from 2pm on, and a Twilight Club ($29.99/month; free golf after 4pm), which makes late afternoon play very slow.

yes i love this course. Gonna be in the area another two weeks,and will be golfiny Avila. Thank you Golf Now ,I am a new golfer,and love it.
