Avila Beach Golf Resort Concerts

We noticed a significant change in the Avila Beach Golf Course, once known as one of the most beautiful and unique courses on the Central Coast. The first 9 holes were muddy, and the fairways were overrun with weeds and high grass, leading to our cart getting stuck in the mud multiple times. The back 9 was dry and had somewhat better fairways. On the 18th hole, we had a gallery of people watching us tee off, which was an interesting experience amidst the challenges of the day.

DO NOT HAVE AN EVENT HERE! We had my dad’s Celebration of Life at the Avila Beach Club and the event space along with the whole experience was terrible. When we got there to set up the whole place was unclean. The floors weren’t swept, chairs had stains on them, dead bugs in the window sill, and the linens were stained, dirty, and just thrown across the table still wrinkled. We went into the bathrooms and saw a tampon on the floor, no toilet paper, and poop in the toilet. We had to track down the day of coordinator who was giving another tour and tell her specifically what needed to be done and even after that we did the majority of cleaning ourselves. The bar also was never set up other than 4 bottles of red wine. Usually all available drinks are set out so guest are aware, but I had many people asking me if we provided beer, soda, and water. It seemed that no effort was put forth to help make this day go smooth. I tried bringing this to Katie’s attention, the Event Director, but she would not get on a phone call with me and blamed it on the event that happened the night before. She took no responsibility and provided horrible customer service. I am deeply saddened that such a special day was ruined by this event space and team.

I wouldn’t recommend this venue to anyone. Save your money and book elsewhere. My family and I chose this venue for a celebration of life and were disappointed on every level. The event space was dirty when we arrived. It seems as if no one was prepared for our event. The floors had leaves and debris everywhere, there was a paint can left in the middle of the hallway, the bathrooms were atrocious, our “bartender” and event support Brooke had personal belongings (iPad, charger, boxes, dirty rags) all over the space and in the main entryway of the hallway that I had to clean up as guests were arriving. They didn't have linens that fit the cocktail tables, and the linens they did have had black stains and dirt all over. The chairs they use were stained and ripped, and the space inside the event hall was dusty and filled with dead bugs. When voicing our concerns and disappointments, we were told the event director and owner didn’t have time to get on a call to discuss any of this. Our family was offered $500 off our bar bill, however the venue took no ownership or fault for anything. Paying over $4,000 for the experience we had is mind blowing, and I hope no one has to endure what we did on such an important day. Please reconsider booking anything of importance here.

Fairways were in poor shape. Sand traps are being redone. Cart paths were unusable. Got a discount coupon but have l played a lot better courses for the $. I suggest going to Black Lakes, Hunter Ranch or Monarch Dunes if golfing in this area. Much better condition for the money.

Wow, I wish I had read these reviews before spending $90 each, mid week (Senior rate) to play a round on what was in worse condition than a cow pasture. This was March 14. We had not played here in over 10 years and were looking forward to playing here while visiting the Central Coast to celebrate our anniversary. The only clue we had as to the condition of the course, was when we were told that the lawnmower was broken. Apparently it had been broken for a long time. I don’t know if the owner has tried to play this course, but I believe if he had, he would immediately give a generous discount to anyone brave enough to venture out there and wish them luck at the same time.
