Located in Carlsbad, the “Golf Manufacturing Capital of the World” with headquarters for such companies as Titleist, Callaway, and TaylorMade, Aviara GC is the only Arnold Palmer-designed course in the San Diego region. The coastal 7,007-yard layout adjoins the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, Golf Club & Spa and overlooks the Batiquitos Lagoon nature preserve where it is sculpted around rolling hillsides blanketed with native wildflowers. Since 2013, the course has played host to the LPGA Kia Classic. parkhyattaviara.com/golf
