Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa

Played Aviara several times over the past seven years and with the exception of 3/4 weeks every spring I always find the course in fairly poor condition for the price and the hype. I usually play in the twilight rate because it's lower price. Started on the first hole with several burnouts on the green. I must say that after that the conditions were better than average for summertime during past years. Bunkers were good, tees were good, fairways decent, greens for the most part were good but very bumpy. The roughs I did see an improvement from last summer but not $300 green fee good. I'll continue to play here because it's usually empty and it's convenient but I wish they would fix the conditions.

Fairways and T boxes were great. Greens were not what $280 should get u. Pro said they were rolling from a 10 to an 11.5. My butt. More like 8 or 9. Shame on them. I loved the layout & the beauty of the course but if you r going to charge that kind of money for a round of golf you better make it top notch.

Loved this course. The condition of the course was excellent! The greens were in great shape! Can’t wait to play it again!

This is a nice course but the rates are way out of line. No local respect and no decent rates for locals.

Aviara has been our preferred layout in SD County for decades. The turf replacement project of 2022-23 has enhanced the maintainability of tee to green grass by eliminating winter overseeding. Fairways are a little thin still but coming along nicely ! Greens are true, accept shots well and are not so fast as to be unfair.

Pace of play was great, well under 4 hours ! Yes, being a Tuesday afternoon not in the summer makes for an uncrowded golf course. May be a different story on our next visit end of May - early June.

Alls well at Aviara ! Keep up the great work !
