Avalon should be paying ME to play this track

The course was in terrible shape. The greens were awful and they have 3 temp greens that are basically 3 “greens” that were painted fairways that are impossible to putt on. Not to mention, 1 hole was closed.

Greens

I feel bad for Avalon , amazing place , extremely nice staff. The greens have had a rough summer. The were residing as I played today , so they are well aware of the degree of trouble. Three greens had temporary greens set up because the damage was so extensive, The pro shop mage me aware of the issues before I played. I hope they will recover from this

Staff horrible

Tried to schedule golf outing, but the pro there wanted to charge me a higher rate than an individual price per player. $55.00 per player with 20 players. Don’t worry, I won’t disrupt the members anymore.

Will never play there again.

Bad greens

I’ve played here several times every year for awhile,but not this year. They had four temporary greens The front nine was tolerable but the back was pretty bad. The fairways were great. It should have been posted on hot deals because I probably would not have went.

Greens are in terrible shape

I was disappointed with Golf Now for not publicizing that the greens are in terrible shape right now. When I spoke with the course, they let me know that Golf Now was notified months ago, but still haven't posted the info. There were four temporary greens cut into the fairway as the greens on those holes were terrible. Other than the greens, we really liked the course. Beautiful layout, challenging holes, staff were extremely friendly and amenities were plentiful. Once the greens get repaired the course should get an overall rating of 4-5.

Shouldn't even be open

I played this course twice earlier in the year and it was fantastic. But the drought has taken its toll. They had three temporary greens on the back 9. And the sad thing is they were better than the six "real" greens. They have lost their greens with some disease or something. And $30 for 9 holes the with greens the equivalent of a cow pasture is ridiculous. I won't return any time soon.

Trying to recover their greens

One of my favorite courses in the area but sadly their greens were almost destroyed by a fungus. The amenities of the clubhouse and pro shop are top notch. Practice green is a work of recovery in progress. The driving range is ok but very average. The staff is good and helpful. The layout is fun, fair and challenging. Sand bunkers are nice with good sand.

Even with 4 temp greens and a tough summer, I love playing this course

Truly a beautiful course. Staff is friendly and very accommodating. This past summer has created havoc with many courses to maintain their greens and courses, and Avalon was no exception, but course is very playable. Will play as often as I can.

Great course, poor greens

Always love playing this course but unfortunately the greens were eat up with something ( I’m sure the heat wave and drought conditions didn’t help). The course did their best to make up for the conditions but we probably wouldn’t have played there if we had known. Still would recommend when they get the problems corrected.

I hope they can find a fix for the greens

I used to love to play here. Went to play a round for my birthday and the greens were pretty much unplayable. I hope they find a solution because the rest of the course is fantastic, but I won’t return until the greens are recovered. I probably should have asked for a refund. It was that bad.

Always A Good Time

The greens are not in good shape, but the guys in the shop were very up front about it. The rest of the course is in good shape. The pro shop is very knowledgeable and always friendly. The greens look worse than they putt. Overall still a fun place with a good atmosphere!

Greens in trouble

I like this course and the staff. I think it’s a good value but the greens are suffering now from a fungus I would guess- Summer has not been kind to them. The rest of the course is in very nice shape and, perhaps, as cool wx comes back, the greens will recover

Extremely poor greens and tee box’s

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.

Worst greens ever

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.

Great Course!

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.
