Poor condition

The golf course was in pretty bad condition. Lots of GUR, rocks, etc. The cost to play with the course conditions was out of balance.

I would recommend the course if conditions improve substantially.

First Time Playing

First time playing Avalon

This was my first time playing Avalon. All the people from the cart girl bringing me a cart at my car, to the pro shop employee, the starter and the beverage cart young were awesome. I rate their service and friendliness five stars.

I understand we are in early spring and the Bermuda hasn’t started to grow, but for me, the course layout just didn’t fit my eye and nor did the cost to play a course in rough shape. Maybe that tee fee is worth it when it all starts to green up but didn’t feel the overall dollar outlay fir the quality of the course.

The course was in great shape

The staff was friendly. The starter did a great job at starting people on time.

The greens, tees and cart paths were in great shape. Due to the time of year.

I don’t like to take divots in winter golf. If I took divots, there was an ample amount of sand in two bottles on the cart.

I liked the practice putting green and the driving range.

The golf carts are very comfortable.

Great course

I love playing here, conditions always good, pace of play was bad this day. Had 8 guys in front of me for 13 holes and they refused to let me play thru which I will never understand. Also their bossy carts are ridiculous. If you happen to get where you shouldn’t be, the act of getting the cart back to where it needs to be is insane. It literally took 5 mins to get cart 2 feet because it wouldn’t move. Absolutely made the round almost unbearable as there were signs saying keep carts in rough then you’d go there and they’d lock up and tell you back to path, but couldn’t get back to path. No reason for this to be how these operate. Absolutely hate these new carts at alot of these courses its overdone and too much.

First Time Playing

Great value and military friendly

Great military rates, not over crowded and decent pace of play. Was slowed down a bit on the back 9, but overall a fun course to play and requires some strategy rather than just launching it all over the place. Greens are incredibly fast especially with any slight downhill play, very tricky to read. Over all a ton of fun still.

Great course layout and course conditions.

Avalon Golf Country Club was as always an outstanding venue for golf. The price paid ($39.50) for 18 holes including electric cart was spectacular. The greens were in excellent shape as well as the fairways. The elevation changes on most holes add to the challenge of each round. Four tee locations make it challenging for all golf levels.

Course was in good condition

The Course was in really good condition. The greens were the best I have seen them in some time. The issue was pace of play. This was a week day morining we finished in 4.45hrs. We were a two some and waited on every shot for a slow 4 some ahead of us. Not once did they attempt to let us play through. Help from a Ranger would have been appreciated.

Shot an 80 with a couple birdies.

We will be back. :-)

Fast greens

It's been a while since I've had you lay up in front of the Green just to make a shot. I know it's maintenance time but that's something I would expect from knoxville, municipal, not avalon. Very strategic pen placement made the game challenging, and that was fun the speed. If you hit the green, you would roll off a little sad added 5 strokes to my game.

Disappointed

I grew up in this area. Members there have always been snooty and they still think it’s a time where that is one of the best courses in the area. However, it is not. Got stuck behind old members as a single with no one in front of them and they would not let me pass. Then the members that were behind me were upset and a grounds crew person saw what was happening yet no one did anything about it. I started my round at 10:45 and finished it at 2:50. There is no way that a round of golf should take more than 2.5 hours let alone four. The course is great I do like the course but members can be such a joke. And because they pay all this money to be members courses bow down and hold their tongue because they don’t wanna lose money, which is also a joke have some standards and stand by them.

Great round of golf until the thunder, lightning, and rain showed up on the 15th hole. We would like to go back and play it again while vacationing in Tennessee.
