Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa

You really can't say anything bad about this course unless it's the price. Every hole is a signature hole, lots of ups and downs, beautiful landscaping throughout. Very difficult greens to read. I'd rank this my #1 course in the region ahead of Pechanga, but the price makes it a "special occasion" course and not something I can do on a regular basis.

Scenic and challenging golf course with attentive staff and superior service facilities. The only drawback was the pace of play...sort of like the "Batan Deathmarch". The course rangers need to encourage the golfers to speed up the pace of play. It detracts from the other special qualities of Aviara.

The course is very well designed and has large but difficult greens. This is a great course for the experienced golfer who wants a challenge.

One word "AWESOME" a must play. From tee to green was perfert

I enjoyed the course very much, the greens and fairways were in good conditions the staff was very friendly

The staffs were SUPER FRIENDLY.
This course is a beautiful course in a spectacular setting.

course is in excellent shape. staff was very friendly and helpful.

I was given a free round ($50 cart fee extra) for volunteering at the KIA Classic. As a Standard Bearer I walked the course inside the ropes all four days so I already knew the layout pretty well. This is a great new venue for the women and I was wondering if it would be equally as enjoyable to play myself.
A few of the greens were showing the effects of aeration but otherwise the course is in great shape. Aviara is a classic Palmer design with reasonably open fairways andt tough green complexes. Actually, it wasn't as hard to play as I expected.

Great practice facility to start. Cookies and lemonade. Staff was helpful and friendly. We started on the white tees but moved back to play the blues after a few holes. Whites for shorter players and higher handicap. Blues for good or longer players. Silver for Long and good players, mid to low single digit handicaps. The rough was up and challenging from the LPGA event the week before. The holes are all beautiful with blooming flowers, waterfalls and fountains. Don't forget the well placed bunkers, doglegs, falloffs and very fast and challenging greens. Some tough approaches due to blind shots to the green and not knowing the run or falloff of some. The greens were excellent and fast and were undulating and difficult to read. I had more problems with green speed and break than anything else. The foursome enjoyed the course thoroughly.

The course was being prepared for the Kia Classic which was 3 weeks away. The course itself was visually stunning with many beautiful flowers. The greens were diabolical with unseen undulation, which made them impossible to read correctly. They were also extremely fast, but true rolling. The layout of the course is not too difficult and anybody can play it.

We were able to play the course with our $99 GolfNow holiday pack twosome which made the $160 Hot Deal tee time bearable, otherwise I'd say it was overpriced. We saved over $160!

THIS WAS THE NICEST GOLF EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD. THE STAFF WERE GREAT AND REALLY FRENDLY AND HELPFUL.

Very good course with lots of challenging and interesting holes. I would have been disappointed if I wasn't playing at the special Golf Now rate. I would like to play the same course in the summer when it is not winterized...

I went to Aviara for my birthday, its a first class place. The greens are challenging and you definitely use all your clubs.

Great Staff & Great Course!!! Aviara is a must play for sure.

Greens were often punched and sanded. Fairways not grown in from over seeding. Very wet. Got behind two groups just out to drink. No course Marshall's in sight. Not what I expected for $$$$. Golf at Maderas or in Cochella Valley instead for the money.

The course pace was very good, since there were not a lot of people on the course. The staff were very nice and helpful. The greens were fast, true, and no bumps, A little bit of target golf on some holes, but rewarding when you take chances. Overall, a beautiful and great course.

The staff and facilities are great and the course is always in top condition. However, it is so expensive ($150-250) that it is not a good value.

Soft and slow greens are out of character for this course.
