Aviara was so beautiful! Hands down a joy to play in this amazing botanical garden of a golf course!


Played a very fun round of golf at this amazing course. This a great course layout designed by Arnie with strategic challenges and scenic views. The layout is fun and challenging. The layout and design are an A+. This is a great course for an advanced golfer, yet playable for mid-level golfers.


Aviara is a fun Player's Course that is a reasonable test of golf with wind speeds that exceeded 10 mph in the afternoon. Aviara is well-designed into the natural areas surrounding and places premium on accuracy off the tee and into greens. The course features clear definition between its mid-sized fairways and rough areas, well placed bunkering on fairways and proximate to greens, along with strategic water hazards on a couple of holes, with medium-fast greens.


The course layout is rated a 4.7 out of 5, conditions are rated a 4.5 out of 5. I note the following:


Tee Boxes: Lush and in very nice condition.


Fairways: Lush and in very nice condition.


Greens: Well maintained and medium in speed, about a 10.5. Lush and in very nice condition.


Sand: Maintained and soft. Lush and in very nice condition.


Rough: Defined from the fairway and green collared but not too overgrown, about 2 – 4 inches. Very grabby at times. Lush and in very nice condition.


Waste Areas: - Waste areas on various holes did not offer the opportunity of recovery due to their overgrown nature. Lush and in very nice condition.


Driving Range: Very nice driving range with white rangers. Hitting off turf.


Practice Putting Green: multiple greens noted on site, condition above average. Lush and in very nice condition with speed consistent with golf course.


POP: 4.5 hours


The facility included a vey nice restaurant, and pro shop. Service received at both was very good.


Really enjoyed this layout and course. It is now my go to course in SD County! I absolutely loved it! Can't wait for my next opportunity to play Aviara!
