Avalon Country Club

Most greens and tee boxes were hard as concrete. We were breaking tees trying to tee the ball up. The overall course conditions are very bad. If I was a club member here I would be irate at the condition of the course.

The greens were the worst I have ever seen. Most greens were less than 20% grass and the rest was crust. They should shut this course down until they get them fixed. Certainly not worth paying for.

First time playing this course and loved it. Has become one of my all time favorites. My only gripe is the guy in the pro shop obviously thought we were there to serve him instead of him serving us as customers. He acted like he was doing us a big favor by allowing us to step out on "his" course. Really rude guy, buy after we got away from him, we had a great time.

First time playing this course and it was awesome! Thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it. Only complaint was the guy in the pro shop made us feel like he was doing us a favor to allow us to be there. TOTALLY UNFRIENDLY.

The fairways were in great shape as always the greens were a little rough due to insects. The pace of play was awful. I was a single could not let group in front of me to play through. This happens a lot to me when I play there

greens were in what I would consider fair condition not because they were aerated but had many dead spots and something has been burrowing on the greens , Also we started on 10 the clubhouse said that was procedure for the day when we made the turn to ! by the green we had caught up to a 4some that they had start ed on 1! tried to call clubhouse got a answering machine no one available to answer my call in the middle of the day left a message about issue and no one ever came out ! Used to enjoy the course conditions as well as management have soured me

Nice bunkers, nice fairways. Greens good but pins were in tough spots today. Always enjoy Avalon but be VERY careful if the ground and cart paths are wet. They have really good carts that help keep speed under control on steep slopes.

Not a bad little course. The tees and fairways are maintained reasonably well. The greens do need a little attention.

Great course and great value. Elevation changes and beautifully framed holes. Downhill tee shots and well groomed fairways adds plenty of length to drives. The greens are pure and have a nice speed try to stay below the hole or you’ll have problems stopping your putt. The course isn’t a push over but you can score well if you stay in the generous fairways. I highly recommend it as the best value I’ve found around Knoxville

Absolutely Loved this Course! The Layout was Tough but Fait if you hit it well you definitely can Score and those Bent Grass Greens were the Star of the Show! Also "The Shark Experience" an Amazing GPS, Playing Tips, Speakers, News, Etc. I only know them and a Course in Birmingham, Alabama to have this Installed on their Carts! Oh on a side Note the Most Comfortable Golf Carts Ever? Keep up the Good Work guys you HAVE DEFINITELY TURNED THIS COURSE AROUND PAT YOURSELVES ON THE BACK YOU GUYS DESERVE IT!

Course was in great shape, especially for the value! The pace of play was solid, even for a twosome. We didnt get started until about 5:15 pm and we still got done in plenty of time before dark. The greens rolled true and had good making speed. The tee boxes and fairways were in good respectable condition as well. I will definitely recommend Avalon to all my friends. I have played here before and knew i liked the course, but for $32, its basically unbeatable!

This course has greatly improved. Greens and bunkers are exceptional.

Nice round of golf at Avalon. Pace of play was slow on front nice with four older players; they played only nice and back nine picked up a bit. Great value, I would play again and recommend.

Very challenge course particular on the green, lots of breaks and fast.

Enjoyed my first time playing. I understand that the course passed thru bankruptcy in 20015 and has now been rescued. New owner could put more money into the course - conditions in the tees fairways and greens could be improved. I would have benefited with playing with someone who knew the course. The 5th hole surprised me as the fairway seems to be a slight dogleg right but sharply drops right down to a small target green. 18th hole is a great par 5 finisher with the approach to the green over water. 9th is also a water par 5 as well. Nice track. Could be excellent with more attention.

The fairways are still dormant but the course layout is really good. The greens are large but with significant slope. Some of the pins were unfair but we were playing for fun, so we just laughed and had fun with it. On a couple of holes, we dropped balls next to the hole and watched as they rolled off the front of the green. Don’t get above the pin! I would like to play the course again in late spring or summer when the fairways are green.
