Avila Beach Golf Resort

This course was fun and had great views. The dirt cart path had major dips and the fairways could use some weeding or new grass but I feel like we got our money's worth! I will definitely come back for another round or two

Avila was great. The weather was perfect. The workers are so friendly. And the course was in great condition.

This is a wonderful layout and beautiful course. The cart paths are in terrible shape and need attention as do several bridges that have been removed. The tee boxes are very difficult to locate. And more. Directional signs would help a lot! All in all, target golf, a challenging layout and spectacular views make this now one of my favorites….. please please please attend to much needed maintenance!

The greens are in excellent condition but the fairways, tee boxes and the cart paths need some tender loving care. Need more directional signs.

I’m not really sure where to start. Maybe the only positives: friendly staff and fairly healthy looking greens.
Although the greens looked healthy, they might’ve been rolling at a 4. You could barely get the ball to the hole, even on downhill putts.
The fairways were mowed weeds. The only grass on the course were the tee boxes and greens.
No signs designating hole numbers or tee boxes. The layout and routing are awful, making the course virtually impossible to walk.
I’m not sure that the staff could do anything to improve this course. The course design is truly a disaster.

Been playing this course since 1980 on a regular basis 3-4 times a year.
Never seen it in worse condition!
3 bridges out wrapped with crime tape to avoid crashing!
The opening tee box had 300 broken tees at 10 in the morning!
If you love watching the behaviors of the California ground Squirrel you will love this course, there are 250,000 of them running amok!

Pro shop employee was unhelpful, rude and unfriendly
Course is in terrible shape!
Lack of repairs and upkeep was evident everywhere you looked.

Okay, I get it that some people criticize this course because the condition is a little rough, but we loved it. The course is very green, hardly no brown areas, and surrounded by a lovely countryside with trees, mountains, and rivers. The layout is beautiful and the atmosphere warms the heart. We will definitely play here again whenever we stay here at the resort.

We had a fun first visit! Holes were challenging, although the placement of the next T Box was sometimes challenging to find. We actually missed a couple of holes because we went to the T box next to the green we were exiting. But had a good time, so no big deal. Had fun.

The course needs a lot of work. Tee boxes and fairways are in bad shape. There are a couple of bridges that are washed out and the cart paths will jar your kidneys. They are horrible.

The location is prime, but somebody needs to invest some money and hardwork to get this place back to its heyday. Until then, I will not go back.

Looks like it could be nice or maybe used to be. But I will be trying another course next visit

Played this course 5 times recently, Jan 13, 17, 21, 22 & 23. Each time I found it very challenging...make a mistake and you're going to pay for it, probably even gong to cost you a double. The greens are super fast, in good shape and sometimes quite tricky. You need to play here at least once to have the best idea about where to miss and sometimes which club to hit to properly account for the numerous elevation changes. The venue is picturesque and on one round an egret allowed me to get and remain quite close to it. Awesome.
