About the Course
Nestled within a luxury resort in Carlsbad, Southern California, Aviara Golf Club is a championship layout that seamlessly blends strategic design with natural beauty. The course masterfully utilizes rolling terrain and natural streams to create layered shot-making challenges, demanding precise distance control and strategic thinking on every hole. The signature par-3 17th hole plays across a lake, where the ocean breeze tests both judgment and nerve as players aim for the green. Throughout the round, sweeping views extend to the Pacific Ocean and Batiquitos Lagoon, with egrets and herons frequently gracing the water's edge—infusing the experience with Southern California's distinctive coastal character. This is both a stage for professional competition and an ideal venue for experiencing golf's purest pleasures.
