Nice Course (some rough greens on the front)

I haven't played here in a while, and I loved it for the most part. There were 3 greens on the front in rough shape. #6 was actually using a temp green cut in the fairway. Other than those green issues, the course was in great shape, and I enjoyed the round.

Great course

They have lost one green and part of another. That happens. The course was in great shape otherwise. One of my favorites.

Not sure what has happened but they have quite a few greens that are on the verge of dying.

Fix your greens

Not really sure what happened this year to some of the greens. I don’t know if they had disease or if they were scalped or possibly burnt with too much fertilizer. This reminds me of when Avalon had the trouble many years ago and had to completely redo theim and changed to Primo Zoysia. The last part three on the front green was in such bad shape that maybe 10% of the entire green was putt-able. There were three greens with extreme damage. This is almost as bad as Oak Ridge country club screens last year before the tournament. I would be embarrassed to charge what they’re charging until they get these fixed.

Greens unplayable on at least four holes

Umm, I don’t usually write reviews- in fact this may be my first but I just put this out as a warning for anyone thinking about playing this course. The layout is wonderful I love Avalon and its quirks- but today the greens were the worst I have ever seen them. In fact; the worst I’ve played anywhere in the vicinity. Think shaad road or whittle green conditions. On 3,4,5 and 11 they are pitted rutted and to be honest a joke and unplayable. For what they charge here (@75$) it is totally unacceptable. I will not be back.

Fairways were amazing. The greens were 50/50. Many were in good shape. Others were pretty bad.

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 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.
