I recently had the pleasure of playing Aviara twice in 3 days thanks to some friends in town. I believe the rate we paid was around $180 for hotel guest mid-day.

This was my first time experiencing Aviara and I really enjoyed it. The service is top notch and the course condition is on another level compared to the other public golf options in the region. I was most impressed by the greens, rolling very fast and true.

The layout is pretty spectacular, and very fun. Each hole is very different. There are lots of opportunities for longer hitters to take advantage of the layout, which was also fun. The course is pretty challenging and I was surprised it was pretty windy both days. Highly recommended, just play in the afternoon and save some $$.
