Avila Beach Golf Resort

I played 3 different courses in the area over 4 days of vacation. Avila Beach was the best by far. Interesting course lay out with tight tee shots and some open fairways to rip at.Greens were in good shape and rolled true. We spoke to a number of locals that said avila was in poor condition and we shouldn't go.. they were dead wrong.. we plan on coming back in the summer.. if you're in the area.. play this track

Hole 17 bunkers need to be marked ground under repair.

Golf resort?
The course is falling apart; nothing about a resort is resembled here.
Pace of play is six hours w/ a pre 9 am t time.

This is my first review and only made to help others avoid a wasted day.

The place has a ton of potential, it’s just needs a couple million dollars in course renovation.

Restaurant/bar is great, pro shop has some good swag.

Course it’s a good layout it was in pretty rough shape probably due to last year‘s storms greens were good fairways not so good

We enjoyed our round. Course was in overall good shape.

Weather wasn't good but played 18 on a soggy day loved it

I played Avila twice in one week thanks to great deals on GolfNow. Due to recent rain, the fairways and greens were in good shape. The course was busy on a Friday afternoon so the starter had me start on the back nine. I played with 2 other golfers who play Avila regularly. It's obvious that the course hasn't been kept up...cart paths are degrading and there hasn't been sand in the bunkers for over 5 years. I had 2 bunker shots and played them like I was hitting from a dirt area which works better than trying to hit a normal bunker shot. Avila could be a great course with some TLC.

I hadn't played Avila Beach GC in over 5 years and I had very low expectations about the course. Yes, it needs some TLC, especially the bunkers, cart paths, and tee boxes. The course has a beautiful layout and some fun challenges. The central coast got about 3 inches of rain a week ago, and this was very beneficial to the course. The greens were in good shape. I would recommend this course if you could get a "hot deal" and I will play it again. Right now, the priority seems to be a venue for weddings, concerts, fund raisers, and other events. Golf is taking a back seat and that's too bad because it could be a great golf course.

course is not well maintained. no sand in traps, greens are diseased. fairways are hard and dry.

Fairways reminded me of a pasture. Holes were not easy to find with no map of the course itself. Some tee boxes you had to shoot between trees. probably wont play again.
