Enhanced Content

Brutal

The 14th at Aviara Golf Club at Four Seasons Resort presents a deceptively challenging 201-yard par 3 that demands precision over the scenic Batiquitos Lagoon. This signature hole epitomizes the coastal elegance that has made Aviara a favorite among resort golfers and professionals alike since its Arnold Palmer design opened in 1991. The tee shot plays across natural wetlands to a small, elevated green that offers little margin for error. Club selection becomes critical as ocean breezes can dramatically affect ball flight, while the compact putting surface punishes anything but the most accurate approach shots. With no significant bunkers to complicate the visual, golfers face a pure test of distance control and nerve, making this one of Southern California's most memorable resort par 3s.
