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.

Interesting, quirky, fun holes
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.
greens in great shape
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
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.
