Avila Golf & Country Club

Just north of downtown Tampa, Avila Golf & Country Club offers traditional Florida golf with a convenient location. Originally designed by Bob Sierra in 1980, Jack Nicklaus redesigned the golf course in 1989. Nicklaus updated the design to make it more challenging but he still maintained the original integrity of the classic features. There is interesting variation amongst the greens and water hazards come into play on 13 holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout Avila Golf & Country Club. The signature hole is the par-5 13th. This challenging hole is surrounded by water and if that isn't enough there is a wall blocking the front of the green.
