Avalon Country Club

Finally getting some grass on the fairways but they Aerated the greens pretty late and are in kinda crappy conditions

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 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.

Place is still same old dump. Go to Willow Creek or pretty much anywhere and get better conditions.

Had a great time. Staff very accommodating and friendly. Pace was excellent thx

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

Really nice course for the money. Staff was very friendly all around!! We will play again for sure

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.

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.

I really enjoy playing at Avalon. Really pretty and hilly, which is what I prefer over flat courses. Nicest golf carts anywhere. That said, some of the problems that have plagued this course over the years are still doing so. Although better than they were, some of the greens have bare or damaged parts and the tee boxes are often bare as well. I look past a lot of its issues since overall I always have a great time and the course is rarely busy when I play during the week. Add hot deal pricing to that and I'm good to go. Very friendly staff too! Working ball washers and well spaced on course bathrooms get them extra points too.

Good other than 4 or 5 greens on the back that were in bad shape in some areas

Tea boxes were dirt no grass and greens had bare spots Not worth the Money

I travel for work and have been to every state except for seven and I have played golf throughout every state and this is by far one of my favorite courses in the United States. Anytime I go through Knoxville I will stop here every time whether I have time or not to play this course. It is right off interstate 40 , if they are booked full they always find a way to fit me in , they never say we don’t have any tee times. Everybody and I mean everybody will treat you like it’s their opening day!!! You will feel very special and the food is way more than burgers and fries or a hotdog. All around an unbelievable experience every single time I go there, it is a must play for sure!!!!!!!

Pace was great, conditions perfect. Thoroughly enjoyed round!

Overall course was really good. Course was in good shape for this time of year. The starter was awesome...likes to keep pace of play quick.

Tee boxes were in bad shape. Looked like they were over fertilized. Greens were very slow and some we in rough shape.

Had a great time at Avalon. Weather was perfect. Staff was very friendly, and pace relaxing. Thanks!
