Had a great round

When I checked in, the golf shop told me to golf with two other golfers. They were good players so we played each hole efficiently. The tees and the fairways were in great shape. Maintenance was performed on the greens on 3,14 and 15 so they had temporary greens set up.

Avoid at all cost

We played this course last fall, it was trash. Greens were beaten up and had more sand in them then the beach. They had few real temporary greens. At the end of the round we went into the shop to complain that no one told us the greens were so bad. Got charged full price and an attitude from the counter staff when we said something last year. It took us talking to multiple people to get comp round back, we would rather have received our money back but we will take an invite to play again....which was today. Over a year and the greens are terrible, absolutely wrecked, an embarrassment to anyone who’s ever tried to grow grass. Whoever is in charge of the course should change careers. They were decimated beyond belief, so so so so bad. Do not play this course, if you pay more then $10 to play you got ripped off. The members (who I would be embarrassed to even be on the course if I was a member) don’t follow the rules, cart path only for us, not for them, rank the bunker for us not for them. Just a terrible terrible place, avoid at all costs. .

DISAPPOINTED!!!

Heard great things about this course from locals & recent on-line reviews looked good. The tees & fairways are in great shape. The carts were clean with working GPS. The layout is phenomenal with immense changes in elevation. The greens are abysmal! It’s unclear to me what happened to them (disease, fungus, pests, drought, neglect ???), but they are substantially without grass & most are heavily sanded. I played Willow Creek GC two days prior & it was without blemish tee to green at a lower cost. Avalon is a beautiful community with a great course (once the greens are rejuvenated). A greens warning should be listed on GolfNow.

Great course

The course is amazing. We had about a 30 minute rain delay and not long after it stopped you could barely tell it rain on the course. Would highly recommend this course.

Great Day with Friends

This was first time playing course. It was challenging but able to have a good round. Beautiful area and each hole is it on and not worrying about a ball from different hole. Just a really good experience other than when I was in sand but I guess that was my fault
