Avila Beach Golf Resort

Great price for 18 holes with a cart and a small bucket of balls. $14 can't beat it. I would recommend it to anyone!

I really enjoyed ABGR. A real treat. I found the course to be well maintained, with character and challenge in equal proportions. It was my first time there, but certainly not my last. I'll be back.

The course was in need of some grooming. The big challenge (for a woman and intermediate golfer) is the broad water crossing - the river.

This course is challenging with a peaceful environment. Deer and wild turkey are a common sight.

Really enjoyed the course and view. I would say that I would not pay the $100 plus for a round, but the discounted rate of $44 was well worth it.
For a Golf Resort, I would have expected better carts...GPS, cooler for water, etc.

What an awful experience playing at Avila. Last I played here was in 1995 and I remember saying I would never play here again, but hey, after 17 years it must have gotten better. Was I wrong.
1) the round took 5.5 hours...on a Tuesday!
2) I called the clubhouse to ask for a Marshall and they didn't have one. They weren't apologetic at all.
3) poor layout. A number of holes you need to walk 200 some yards between holes.
4) a bunch if Mickey Mouse holes. Some with really short dog legs, others with completely blind shots over hills off the tee.
5) finally, it's a beach resort course where there are a bunch of 30+ handicappers taking mulligans every few holes. (see point 1 above)

Very good course as there are many challenges/shots/obstacles to play though 18.

Starting @1.. Avoid the creek on the right during TEE OFF! .. @2.. UPHILL 190 yard par3! OB to left .. Steep slope to right!
@3.. Long drive PAR 5 .. HYBRID 4 over the INFINITY HILL with a wedge on in regulation??
@4 .. TOP down and split the TREES to the HIDDEN DOG LEG LEFT par 4! ... LAY UP and play for the 8 IRON in regulation!
@5 .. BOMB the TEE shot to the LEFT .. HIT THE TOP of HILL and then drop to the RIGHT for a chance to GIR the hole. Make sure to club UUP as their is a 40 yard hill to climb.

You get it.. fun course and the GOLF NOW is seamless!

Overall this was a nice course to play. It is well maintained and there are some challenging features. A few of the greens are very small and quite difficult to get up and down on. I look forward to playing this course again when I am back in the area.

A good challenging course with friendly staff and great weather. Recommend for 1st timers request pairing with someone who has course knowledge as the course has a few blind greens.

Green were fast and well groomed! Fairways were in good condition. Beautiful backdrops on every tee box. One of my favorite courses!!

Loved this course...very challenging for me as a new golfer but beautiful. Great condition....loved it!

Great value with hot deals booked on Golfnow. Staff friendly but late opening shop. Really liked the course would love to play again when back in area.

This course is harder than it looks - especially from the back tees. The holes are unique and a lot of fun to play. One par five even features a blind shot to the green unless your drive is perfectly placed.
It isn't a lush, manicured course but I don't care so much about that when it is so much fun to play.

fairways and fringes were in very good condition.arrived at 9:45,fire had distroyed ball collecter,told no range balls,given 1/2 bucket for three players when we said they were included in price.no food service upon arrival,had expected to purchase light breakfast.prices for beer,gatorade and snacks were country club prices,excessive.

Pace of play was very good. Played the round in 15 under 4 hours. Fairways and greens in very good shape. The only thing that needs a lot help is their driving range.

The holes have character & are somewhat challenging. However, the fairways & greens need some maintenance work.

thanx for putting these deals in for us. i was able to take advantage 3 times this week while i was on vacation, thanx again, greg a.
