Poor condition
This is a course we’ve always enjoyed playing. The fairways hardly had any grass, the bunkers had grass growing in them. We were very disappointed in the condition.
Maintenance
A beautiful course that has absolutely no maintenance at all.
Owner needs to sell it to someone who knows what they’re doing.
Been golfing there for several years and have never seen it in such terrible condition.
Won’t be back until I hear someone else owns it or they have new management.
Very poor maintenance
Greens are good but the fairways are terrible
The cart paths are absolutely awful no
maintenance at all and in most cases impassable.
Nice layout, poor condition
The fairways aren’t in great condition, and neither are the greens. Since we last played here a year ago, two bridges have been taken out of commission so carts have to take roundabout routes to get from greens to the next tees. Still, it’s a picturesque layout and if you can get a deal online it’s worth it. The pro shop staff is good and the on-site bar/restaurant, Mulligans, is solid.
Awesome place
Under some repair right now, but still a great round.
Condition of course
Overall, the course is in a great location, and the staff is awesome. Nice bar/restaurant. The only problem we had was with the condition of the course. Bridges connecting a couple holes were broken down so we had to drive on dusty dirt paths. Some of the green and fairways had dead spots.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the issues you experienced with the condition of the course. We are working on improving these areas and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Avila Review
The course has a great layout but... it's not maintained well at all. The grass on the fairways is very spotty if there is grass at all. Many, many bare patches. They still have not fixed a couple of cart path bridges that were damaged from the winter rains. The sand in the traps is heavy and full of pebbles. I play n the Spark Golf League there every week but I wouldn't go there otherwise.

Great Experience!
I am so happy that I played this course! A friend and I had the first tee time of the day and were able to get out as a twosome. The course was beautiful and in wonderful condition. We were able to take our time to figure the course out and the pace of play was never an issue. The staff in the proshop and the restaurant were very friendly and helpful. I am looking forward to playing this course again in the future!

Has Potential but …
This course needs a capital investment for sure. Has great potential because of its location and foundation. Staff was helpful, courteous and quick. Food was good at the restaurant. Seriously so much potential here to be a great location course. Needs the fairways completely redone… greens need some help, but not terrible. The sand traps are trashed. I would recommend you play this course because it was fun regardless of what I say about the grounds. I hope they get a cash infusion and upgrade the course. I would be glad to come back and pay double if they did .

Don't waste your money
I was so disappointed again hoping that because after they finally put sand in the bunkers I thought things would improve. Wrong, it's worse. The fairways were dry and unattended. Greens were ok. The damage from storms in January is still there so had to take detours which have tore the course up more and 2 funky little par 3 holes back to back because of concerts that close holes 10 and 18 for parking.that ruins the fairways. Was not worth it. Even with golfmoose coupon
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for any disappointment you experienced during your visit and will take your feedback into consideration to improve our course.
Course needs TLC.
The course was in really rough condition. Very few of the bunkers were playable and the fairways were poorly maintained. The folks that worked there were friendly and helpful but that doesn’t excuse the condition. The range looked like a scene from “Tin Cup” and the range balls were from the 70’s. The greens at least were in decent condition. That’s the reason for two stars instead of one.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the poor condition of the course, particularly the bunkers and fairways. We strive to provide a top-quality experience for our customers and will address these maintenance issues. Thank you for your kind words about our staff and the greens.

Avila Beach
This course used to be fun when the owners took good care of it. I like the quirkiness of the layout. But the fairways now are rock hard and the grass is really sketchy - patches of little or no grass all over. The greens aren't too bad but they need to enforce fixing your ball mark. Sand traps are awful. They recently put in new sand but it's not fine sand and it has pebbles. Things got worse with the rains the past winter weakening some cart path bridges. Its been more than six months and they haven't fixed them.
We apologize for the poor conditions you experienced during your visit to our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we work towards improving the fairways, greens, sand traps, and cart path bridges. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.
Maintenence"
Course needs a lot of work. Tee areas were rough and most had tee markers missing. A lot of bare areas in fairways with no markings. Those "sand" bunkers which were not "ground under repair" were full of dirt. One positive were the greens which were in fairly good condition, though very slow.

Avila Beach resort
The greens were quick and in decent condition. Not so much the fairways. Pace of play was not an issue. Suggest a little better signage to guide between holes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the condition of the fairways and will take your suggestion about signage into consideration. We appreciate your feedback and hope to provide you with a better experience in the future.
Course in Poor Condition
Been a while since I’ve played there but I stopped going because of the poor conditions. The course never seemed to recover after the heavy rains last January. Fairways were choppy and the greens seemed dry or sick…maybe some kind of fungus killing the grass? I wouldn’t recommend the course even though it’s a beautiful location. Money is better spent at Black Lake or Paso Robles Country Club.
So Much Potential
I've played Avila Beach Golf course for many years, the location is perfect. The rolling hills of the front 9, the bisecting waterways and bird wildlife of the back 9 make this course layout superbly unique. The on course and office staff are consistently accommodating and always friendly.
The putting greens are in good to very good condition, however, for many years the FAIRWAYS have been in VERY POOR condition! I do not pretend to be a trained grounds keeper, but most courses will annually plug their fairways (for improved turf condition and water absorption) and maintain/upgrade their irrigation systems. Neither has been done for many, many years. With proper attention to the course condition Avila Beach Golf would be one of the best courses to play in all of California! Avila has become one of the "go to" beach towns in California, therefore attracting golfers willing to pay a premium for such a beautiful setting and challenging course.
Not quite the resort they claim!
Luckily this was a “hot deal” because if I paid full price I would have been very unhappy. We paid approximately half of their normal rate of $98. The carts were basic with no GPS. The fairways were a mix of grass and weeds with hard dirt underneath. There were a few areas where the cart path were under repair so a “detour” was created which left many confused as to where they were going and had to use the gps on their phone to locate the tee box. Greens were nice. Overall, I would not call this a resort golf course. It felt like a barely maintained muni course. The owners need to put some effort into the course and not just the party area at the end.
Thank you for your feedback and understanding. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the ongoing repairs. We appreciate your support and hope you had a great round of golf despite the situation.
