10 miles S of San Luis Obispo
Seven miles south of San Luis Obispo and seven miles north of Pismo Beach, take the Avila Beach exit off Highway 101 and follow posted road signs to the Resort.
Avila Beach
The Avila Beach Golf Resort is located on the Central Coast of California 3 miles off Highway 101 between San Luis Obispo and Pismo Beach. Nestled within coastal hills and on an estuary that flows into San Luis Opisbo Bay, the resort includes a par-71, 6500-yard championship course.
The often quite tight fairways of the front-nine occupy hilly terrain, playing through the oak-lined valleys of Hartford Canyon. The mix of doglegging and straightaway holes lead you to small, often-elevated, smooth greens.
The flatter back-nine transverses the tidal estuary of San Luis Opisbo Creek, which sidles up alongside several fairways. Multi-level greens will test your skill with the short stick. Golfers of all abilities will enjoy the challenge of this scenic and varied course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details, discounts, packages, etc. [Last updated: 2020].
Walking permitted. Golf carts available to rent.
Although the golf club is not a Stay&Play facility in its own right, there is plenty of local seaside accommodation on offer nearby. On the seafront you will find establishments like the San Luis Bay Inn, Avila Lighthouse Suites, Inn at Avila Beach, and Avila La Fonda Hotel.

Who's Who:
Peter Alliss: accomplished player, Ryder Cup star, course designer, writer, humourist and commentator, this legend of the game will be greatly missed by his legions of followers … golfers and armchair golf enthusiasts alike.
Angela Stanford: major championship winner and Solheim Cup star, records an impressive win in her home state of Texas in the Volunteers of America Classic.
Traigh Golf Course (pronounced "try", and meaning "beach" in Gaelic): You'll find this nine-hole seaside gem on the scenic coast road (as opposed to the more inland and quicker A830) between Arisaig and Morar. Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
