Avila Beach Golf Resort

This course is in very poor condition. Needs lots of work.

Front 9 was so overgrown that finding a ball that was not in the fairway or on the green was always a challenge to the point of impossible. More than one ball that was hit barely off a green was lost in foot high uncut grass. It shouldn't have been open. The back nine was better. The $90 price was at least 2x what it should've been. Very frustrating and disappointing. The staff was very friendly and the greens and tee boxes were not bad.

I was very disappointed in the overall condition of the condition of the course. Many tee boxes looked like the rough, fairways were more weeds then grass.and the greens were below average. I seriously wold not consider playing this course again, under any condition.

Flooded, messy, no proper signages to next hole, on and on!

The tee boxes and greens were in good condition despite the back 9 being aerated just before I played them. The fairways were not mown and balls could not be easily found even in the middle of the fairway. I lost half a dozen balls in the fairway as I was playing solo, I didn't want to take more time looking for balls in large patches of overgrown grass/weed.in the fairways. Staff was aware of that when I brought that up at the end of the round. Drainage on the course could also be improved as there were many muddy areas, again in the fairways. The course is actually quite playable otherwise with doglegs and water in play on many holes that made it interesting.

I grew up seeing this course and remembering how nice it looked… sad to see that the care and maintenance has fallen through the cracks. Fairways were not mown, and cart path is a disaster, regardless of the rain this winter. Had a groundskeeper blasting some video as I was trying to take my shot on the 7th and had to ask him for the courtesy to turn it down. I believe the course has the potential to be one of the best in the central coast, just needs the love it used to get. Only positives, greens and bunkers were decent.

This course has been a shambles for decades now. And the new owner doesn't seem interested in ugrading much less maintaining the course. They don't seem to even mow the grass regularly or rake up all the leaves. The cart paths are never ending stream of pot holes. This is more obstacle couse than golf course and has become an embarassment to Avila Beach. Notice the 2 star rating for course conditions.

I read some of the other reviews, and they may have been true at the time, but I had a blast. Great fairways, and the bunkers were legit.
Playing here again next time in pismo!

Back 9 got flooded so didn’t get to play. Supposedly better than front 9. Not worth of paying more 60ish so look for hot deal.

Avila Beach Golf Resort is a perfect setting...ocean views, cool breeze, and a course that winds around oak & sycamore tree covered hills. There are several areas (bridges & cart paths) that were damaged from last year's storms that need repair...if it takes as long as it did to refill the bunkers with sand then it will be a loooong time. They've added sand to the bunkers that had been dirt & rock for 5+ years...but they just added sand...the rocks are just below the surface. The resort's main focus is still events but the course is fun to play especially if you can get a good deal on GolfNow. I didn't bring my friends with me to play this course last winter, but I will this year because the fairways are green and there's sand in the bunkers.

Beautiful place for a golf course. I like the lay out and it challenging; however, the course is in terrible condition.
I feel who ever owns the golf course puts no money in to it.
Won’t be playing there again. Not worth the money

They are working on the course so that’s a good thing but they have a long way to go
