Walked out as a single, 11:00am & was paired with a volunteer Marshall, nice lady. later joined by another single. POP was nice. Tee boxes are fine. Fairways are mostly good, although they were re-sodding parts of a few. Rough was mix of long grass & some bare areas. Typical muni in that respect. Greens were good, rolled well, med speed. Bunkers were mix of some really nice new looking sand & some harder packed dirt/sand. Overall very playable for a decent rate (senior 60!) Lots of water keeps it interesting. I rode, but it is walkable. Now 18 holes, last time played a few years ago was 27 holes. I recommend, it was fun. » ClosePlayed Legends on Friday 8/21. Overall the conditions are great.

Tee boxes level & good turf.
Fairways; Plush, plush, plush! Sweet to play on.
Rough; is not killer penal unless way out, then could be really tough.
Bunkers; only blemish, are mostly hard with too little sand.
Greens; medium fast & beautiful. Held well hit irons. putted perfectly.
Collar areas also nice.
Customer service is great. La Costa is running things the way they should be.
Drink cart out & about. Resort has great food & drink.
I recommend this course. Lots of fun! » ClosePlayed Thur 8/19. Aviara is one of my favorite courses. But it is in DISMAL condition.

Tee boxes area fine.
Fairways have numerous thin & bare areas, not what is expected on a 5* course.
Rough; Terrible. Dead grass, torn up dirt areas. Unacceptable, especially from this course.
Greens; Hit & miss. The good ones are fast, but many have a fungus causing bare spots. Some Greens have partial aeration. Areas around the Greens were dead too.
POP; was decent, 4:15. Drink Cart out & about.
Customer Service is still great. Restaurant is open, we had 1 beer & left for more reasonably priced eats.
The other 3 players with me are probably soured for good, too bad for what should be a great course. Can't recommend in this crappy condition at nearly $200 fee. » ClosePlayed Tierra Rejada on Wed 7/21. Nice 55 & over discount $45. The course is in great shape! Beautiful day for Golf, Tee time 8*20 as a 3some. » MorePlayed Tierra Rejada on Wed 7/21. Nice 55 & over discount $45. The course is in great shape! Beautiful day for Golf, Tee time 8*20 as a 3some. Carts, no GPS although they have an app you can use with the phone. I used my own. Tee Boxes never an issue, good coverage, pretty level. Fairways are really nice, low cut. Drives run well. Divot mix on carts. Greens are med fast. Very few ball marks. Undulating & fun to play. Bunkers are best I've seen recently. Good sand with rakes. The rough longer & tougher in some areas. Good coverage through out. The Bar & Grill was open & doing good biz. Good service through out the facility. POP was just under 4 hours. Some peeps just don't like the course, it is a bit billy goatish, especially front 9. That said I like it alot & highly recommend it. Wonderful condition! » ClosePlayed Balboa 7/13, 8*00am Tee Time. LA City still using 10 min tee times, works out beautifully! Easy check in, got out on time.

Last time I played here, year or so ago, it was bad. Much improved.
Tee Boxes were in poor condition overall. Need leveling.
Fairways were ok, mostly lush with some bare or dry spots. Much better than last time out.
Rough is not great, lot of dirt/weed/hardpan/gopher damaged ground, especially further from the fairway. Still playable.
Greens are BIG. They are the highlight of the course. Med speed, mostly flat but decent roll.
Areas around the green are mostly Kikuyu grass. Very sticky stuff. Chips don't get through it. Shaved areas can be putted through. Thick stuff like a bunker shot. Very good condition.
POP was 3:45. 4some following 3 2somes, best pace ever on a City course.
No refreshment cart. Restaurant is open, I didn't use it.
Overall, it was fun to play this less challenging course. Nice day on the links, close to home.
Wouldn't drive far to play it, but glad it's here. » Close
