Aviara Golf Club is an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course located in Carlsbad, California, north of San Diego. Designed by Arnold Palmer with Ed Seay and opened in 1991, it plays to 7,007 yards from the back tees. The course is set around the Batiquitos Lagoon and features rolling terrain, dramatic elevation changes, and lush landscaping with native wildflowers and water features throughout.

Known for its resort-style conditioning and scenic design, Aviara places a strong emphasis on strategic shot-making, particularly on its well-bunkered greens. It has hosted the LPGA Tour’s Kia Classic/JTBC Classic, reinforcing its championship pedigree. A popular choice for golf holidays in California, it combines coastal scenery with a premium resort golf experience.
