The Aviara Golf Course is located north of San Diego overlooking the Batquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad. Both Golf Digest and Golf Magazine have named this Arnold Palmer designed course one of the best resort courses in America. Framed by abundant native wildflowers, the challenging layout winds through rolling valleys and offers views of the Pacific Ocean. This course may be the "best maintained" course in San Diego.

The pre and post play service provided by the Aviara staff is absolutely superb and considered by many to be the standard by which all other courses are measured in San Diego. The elegantly appointed clubhouse features a bar and restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, locker rooms and an upscale golf shop. The course includes a driving range and an oversized practice putting green.
