Avalon has had a difficult history

Been playing here sporadically since 1990s. Greens issues, tee area issues, and unplayable bunkers have been areas of concern . New ownership has taken these on. Tees still uneven but more grass than in the past. Bunkers were in the past a disgrace now playable if you don't mind dinging your wedges with rocks. The new zoysia greens are something else. They are playing as a normal courses fringe areas.

Staff an A+, practice tee a B pace of play B.

First Time Playing

For a country club I expected more this time of year. There were tee boxes that were closed for maintenance, there was a trench dug in the green on the back 9 and quick patched, there golf cart speakers and options were not operational, also on the back 9 there were two holes with giant fans (eyesores/distractions) placed behind the greens.

I plan to play here again!

I booked on GolfNow which required me to pay once I arrived at the course. Upon arrival I could tell it was going to be a good experience. The Pro Shop staff were very friendly. I used the driving range prior to my round. The driving range is rather small, but it gets the job done. I played with a friend and was paired with a lovely couple (Bill & Karen) who are members of the club. They were able to help us navigate the course and were so very nice and cordial. Overall, the course is fantastic. It presents a moderate level of difficulty, but I found it to be a very fun course. Tee Boxes were, for the most part, in great shape. The fairways were great. The Greens played a little fast and they didn't make efforts to prevent crowning around the cups, but my putting game was nowhere good enough to make complaints about that.

Again, Bill & Karen were so wonderful and courteous to us. We even stuck around after our round and had a steak dinner at the restaurant located inside the clubhouse. I hope that I am able to make it back out to the course and play again before I leave town.

First Time Playing

First time here and I’m glad I found it. When you’re going in blind to a course (I have developed a borderline obsession for trying out new courses when I’m traveling and have the time) you’re more likely to enjoy yourself if you have realistic expectations and always remember that the course didn’t call you and force you to play, you called them. The greens here rolled pure, the bunkers, fairways, and tee boxes were well maintained. There wasn’t a ton of blind shots or “Mickey Mouse” holes. Just a solid all around golf club that covers all their bases and a layout that I would take any day. This place would definitely be on the shortlist to be my home course if I lived in the Knoxville area.

The only thing I’d be a little hesitant on is a Saturday/Sunday round with tee times being only 8 minutes apart. This course is challenging for the average golfer so it would be a shame if tee times are that close on the weekend

Golf course in great shape

Outstanding golf course for the money, new zoysia greens were put in on the course in May of 2021. The greens run true & hold proper approach shots. Friendly support staff at Proshop & in the bar and grille area. Very personable people running the operation. Nice challenging layout played three time this season already.

Hidden gem of a golf course

Outstanding hidden gem of a golf course in Lenoir City southwest of Knoxville TN convient off of I-75. Welcoming staff in clubhouse and after at the cozy Bar / Restaurant. Friendly staff member servers Kam & Sarah at the bar and grille, also freshly prepared eats. The golf course was in excellent shape with fast new greens installed about two years ago. The fairways are in nice shape, The greens while fast, retained the approach shots well.
