Golf Course
Situated on Southern California’s sun-drenched Pacific Coast, Park Hyatt Aviara Resort is a luxurious coastal resort in Carlsbad, California, just north of San Diego, where you are inspired to relax and indulge. From atop a high ridge on the shore of Batiquitos Lagoon, a wildlife sanctuary and a place of natural beauty, and overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Park Hyatt Aviara is a AAA Five Diamond San Diego resort that’s far from ordinary.

This Arnold Palmer designed 18-hole championship golf course has been named by Golf Digest and Golf Magazine as one of the best resort golf courses in America and the #1 golf resort in San Diego according to the readers of Condé Nast Traveler.

Aviara Golf Club features a memorable coastal layout with over 7,007 yards uniquely sculpted around rolling hillsides, bunkers, water features, and landscaped with native wildflowers of Southern California. Located within an elegant two-story, 32,000 square-foot Spanish colonial clubhouse are premier player amenities, such as lockers, showers, lounge area, full-service bar, and the celebrity chef restaurant, Ember & Rye, specializing in vintage steaks and fresh seafood all while overlooking the stunning 18th green.

Kip Puterbaugh’s Aviara Golf Academy, located on-site at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, is the longest-running golf academy in the Western United States. Featuring 7 of the top 50 instructors in the state of California, the academy offers private lessons, 1-2-3-day schools that cover the entire game, as well as short game and playing schools. The Aviara Golf Academy was listed as a Top 25 U.S. Golf School in Golf Digest Magazine. The TaylorMade Aviara Performance Center is a Premier Fitting Location, specially selected by TaylorMade to deliver the most advanced fitting experience in golf. Led by an elite staff of professional fitters, golfers will be treated to TOUR-level fitting technology and testing clubs in the lab and on grass with the most extensive lineup of new TaylorMade clubs to hit. Utilizing data-driven feedback, your fitter will find the perfect combination of heads, shafts, and specs, so your new clubs will be the best you’ve ever had in your bag.

Aviara Golf Club is part of Aviara Cares, a comprehensive sustainability initiative minimizing the resort’s environmental footprint, spanning updates to the property’s golf, culinary and housekeeping efforts. As part of this sustainability program, Aviara Golf Club recently completed the re-grassing of all 18 holes with Tiff Tuff, a warm season, Bermuda grass which does not require overseeding and therefore lessens chemical inputs. This investment reduces water usage by 20 percent annually and provides golfers with more consistent playing conditions year-round. Coinciding with the high eco-conscious standards of Hyatt World of Care, Aviara Cares reduces energy, water risks, emissions, and waste at the resort, ultimately furthering their pledge to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

Resort
Park Hyatt Aviara Resort offers everything and anything you could dream up for the perfect vacation venue, including the stunning Aviara Golf Course. The Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond resort is situated on over 200 lush acres in Carlsbad—San Diego’s iconic coastal community—surrounded by natural beauty and tranquility atop a high ridge on the shore of Batiquitos Lagoon.
The resort completed a $60 million resort-wide renovation that included elevated guestroom and suite product, re-imagined restaurant and bar concepts, 83,000 square feet of upgraded meeting and event spaces, and the re-grassing of all 18 holes at Aviara Golf Club. Guests will also find a dramatic redesign to the resort’s striking lobby entrance, spacious public areas, and new pool offerings, which now features seven distinct aquatic experiences. And most recently the addition of Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara, offering world-class wellbeing experiences designed to rejuvinate your spirit and renew your soul.

Revel in luxury and relish in coastal-chic style guestrooms offering panoramic views of Aviara Golf Course, Batiquitos Lagoon, or the foothills of San Diego. Select a suite furnished with a balcony overlooking picturesque views off the Pacific Coast. All guestrooms are beautifully appointed and feature a marble bathroom with a commodious bathtub. Of the 327 rooms, 43 are full suites, and all rooms at the resort have a private balcony or a landscaped terrace space.

Catering to guests of all ages—the young and young at heart—a completely redesigned pool deck showcases two distinct fun-in-the-sun experiences. A serene adult pool offers private luxury cabanas, while the family pool is complete with a waterslide tower and tide pool splashpad. Incorporating two winding slides, the tower also pays homage to Carlsbad’s local wildlife with patterns of birds, reeds and fish commonly found in the nearby Batiquitos Lagoon. Waters’ Edge, the nearby pool bar, is an all-day casual stop where guests can unwind outside with creative bites and masterful cocktails (and mocktails), taking in the fresh ocean breeze and beautiful surrounding views.
The resort recently unveiled Miraval Life in Balance Spa Aviara, the only spa located outside of a Miraval resort. This world-renowned concept creates intention-based services enhancing the resort’s luxurious five-star experience.

The resort features two Topgolf Swing Suites, an immersive social experience offering guests of all ages access to a premier lounge while enjoying casual fare, refreshing beverages and lively music. Guests can also enjoy the lounge’s billiards table or catch a game on one of the many televisions.

Ponto Lago, the resort’s signature restaurant immerses guests from across the globe while serving inventive Baja California-inspired cuisine with a local influence, alongside a bespoke bar program and the backdrop of incredible ocean views. The reimagined living room, aptly named Pacific Point, delivers a Pacific Rim-inspired menu and sweeping views to catch one of Carlsbad’s golden sunsets.

Perched high on a ridge spanning hundreds of lush acres, the resort is the ideal place to begin your journey to forever. This AAA Five Diamond resort is surrounded by the tranquil Batiquitos Lagoon wildlife sanctuary, rolling hills, and elegant gardens. Pacific Ocean breezes and delicate floral scents permeate the air.
As you stroll between your bridal suite and the event venues, the warm sun streaming through the windows and bathing wide walkways will warm you.

Sophisticated décor and sunny outdoor spaces come together in this 200,000 square foot venue. Plan your special day in the newly transformed Gardens, offering a grand staircase and stunning views of the resort, the elegant Grand Ballroom, the Aviara Salon, or an intimate setting at Palmer Pavilion located at the Aviara Golf Club with sweeping views of the course. Spanish Colonial architecture blends harmoniously with serene gardens in the outdoor spaces.

The resort’s culinary philosophy stems from the bounty of Southern California’s produce—local, seasonal ingredients bursting with natural flavor and paired harmoniously with sips of wine. With a variety of themes and action stations to choose from, the staff stands ready to accommodate all your dining preferences.

The AAA Five Diamond award winning Park Hyatt Aviara Resort offers several first-class dining options to its resort guests and the general public.
