What Makes Aviara Golf Unique?
This is the only golf course in San Diego designed by Arnold Palmer, and he did his best to make you feel like you are playing championship level golf within some palatial, exotic garden. 
Palmer and his team of landscapers actually designed the entire Aviara golf course around the three valleys and a lagoon. This picturesque golf course lies adjacent to coastal Carlsbad's Batiquitos Lagoon, where you will find over 130 species of waterfowl and shorebirds.
Batiquitos is ecologically sensitive and of course there have long been some touchy San Diego environmental issues in play. Therefore, this Four Seasons Resort, Carlsbad golf course actually took nearly 10 years to complete, finally opening in 1991. The ecological sensitivity of the area drove Palmer and the designers, to build this challenging course in perfect harmony with nature. You can now reap the benefit of an astoundingly beautiful environment in which to play golf.
The following chart shows the specs that Palmer helped put in:
| Par | 72 |
| Yardage | 7,007 |
| Rating | 75 |
| Slope | 144 |
| Tee | Rating | Slope |
|---|---|---|
| Back | 72.7 | 139 |
| Middle | 70.2 | 133 |
| Forward | 69.3 | 127 |
| Women | 69.3 | 127 |
For its challenges and especially for its beauty, the Aviara golf course at the Four Seasons Resort, Carlsbad, is among the very best San Diego golf courses.
