Avaira is the golf course associated with the Park Hyatt in Carlsbad. Expensive resort type golf course, pristine conditioning, and course designed by Arnold Palmer of 7007 yards, 139 slope from the tips. The course is routed around rolling hills along the Pacific Coast and through the Batiquitos Lagoon, with wetlands, water, bunkering, and an interesting and fun layout...if you don't play it too long. Great landscaping throughout with flowers, shrubs, and plantings, and the service is top's. Not a place to play regularily due to the cost, but for special occassions.

It doesn't take long after teeing it up at Aviara before you may find youself asking, "Am I in a botanical garden?" Aviara has no rival in the San Diego area when it comes to pure beauty. Special care was given to the nearby Batiquitos Lagoon and the 100+ species of birds in the area that rely on the wetlands and gorgeous native vegitation. Arnold Palmer is known for creating signature par fives and Aviara is no different, but the collection of stunning par 3s at the course is just as impressive. The course tips out at 7007 yards but boasts a solid 75.0/144 rating/slope due to the amount of trouble found and the course and the relatively tight landing areas found on some of the holes. If you love courses that deliver a challenge and flat out beauty, then Aviara is right up your alley. Visit GolfCourseGurus!

Over from Scotland, and staying in the San Diego area at Aviara. Fantastic course and setting, service was over the top. Played the course for three days in a row, never over 4 hours 15 minutes. Very challenging, but fair off the tee, my only complaint would be the cost to play. Cheers!
