This course has greatly improved. Greens and bunkers are exceptional.
Nice Day at Avalon
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.
Great Course
Very challenge course particular on the green, lots of breaks and fast.
Pretty course with lots of changes of elevation and lightning fast greens
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.
Great layout with very tough greens
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.
Very Nice
What a great experience. Got my round for $32 on GolfNow. Haven't played this course in almost 2 years. Still some wetness from all the rain in the last month but overall the course is in great shape. Grenns were rolling pretty true and well manicured for this time of year. I will definitely be playing this course more this year. Get out and treat yourself.
Wonderful course
Had a great time. Staff were amazing and the course was in great shape considering the weather they have had so far this year. Would definitely return.
First Outing for 18 this Year
Beautiful day to play with my buddy. We enjoyed our time on the course immensely.
Course was wet and cart needed to stay on the path. It makes it like walking 18 since Avalon is no small course. Ball cleaners were mostly out of water as well.
Maybe another day.
The course was challenging
I golfed with two very good golfers that had the same tee time through GolfNow as I did. The tees and greens were in great shape. The speed of the greens varied from fast to slow, it did not matter where sun was or if you were putting uphill or downhill. The golf carts were in excellent shape and were equipped with gps that warn you of a crosswalk, distance from the pin and control you cart speed when descending a hill. I look forward to golfing at Avalon again.
Decent course but greens a bit chewed up
The course is hilly and is cut along the side of hills, given that it is central Tenneesee that is neither surprising nor a problem. However the greens are a bit chewed up. It appears to be a combination of players not repairing marks, but a lot of water and tear too. Plus there seems to be some agronomy issues as well. Stay in the fairways, if you get in the rough you can get buried in the rough.
Overall a good value. We would play it again.
This Course has always been challenging with character but..
Today’s game was Brutal in in the mid 90’s, the slow play started at the beginning of the round and got worse as we played. It was too hot to stand around and wait on every hole. I do know that the 3 some in front called the pro shop but they were let thru at the turn. We played with 2 nice singles. The greens were a little disappointing in some areas, and unfortunate that they put a couple of the flag holes close to the bad areas. There are other courses closer to us for a better price so don’t know when we will go back, but not writing the course off.
Outstanding course
We had a great day at Avalon. From the bottled water at the driving range to the cold towels offered when we were in the 8th fairway. The course was in good shape. The greens rolled great even while being aerated. Pace of play was as expected for Labor Day. We will definitely be back.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are working hard to bring Avalon back to what it was 25 years ago. Those details that you mentioned above symbolize our renewed commitment to excellence.
My favorite course in Knoxville
I have played Avalon many times over the years, and have always enjoyed it. My family and I recently joined and really enjoy the renovated clubhouse and pool. The food and drinks are great, the staff is fantastic. I really like the new bunkers and golf carts. We highly recommend Avalon!
Great Course
First time playing Avalon. Golf course was in great shape. A few rough spots on some of the greens, but it has been a rough summer. Will recommend and will play again.
Challenging
I've played this course several times. It's a good course with lots to offer. It's been a while since I last played and was looking forward to playing it again. Price was steep compared to other courses in the area. Must be to pay for the new golf carts. Beware you'll need to pay extra to use the GPS on the carts or any other features. I have never played a course where they charge a extra fee to use the GPS.
Slow Slow Slow
The pace of play was very slow, took at least 1 hour more than it should have. No rangers monitoring pace of play, or doing anything about pace of play. The staff is nice but I guess to nice in this situation. The one time we saw someone from the course and said something they drove the other way rather than going to address the problem foursome.
Thank you for your comments. We were blessed with great weather this Saturday and virtually every tee time was booked. We apologize for the pace of play, and will look at ways to improve. Appreciate your feedback.
Great fun
This track is one of my top 3 I’ve ever played & I’ve been playing for many years all over the south east
Well worth the money
Thank you for your kind comments on Avalon. The management and staff is working hard to elevate the course to be one of the premier courses in the Knoxville area. As you noticed the sand traps on the front nine are complete and Billy Bunker is in process of complete rebuild of the back nine. We anticipate a pre July 4th completion date. Again, Thank you for your comments. Hope to see you back soon.
Thank you for playing. Hope you will come back out when the bunkers on the back nine is completed.
Thank you for your Excellent rating. We have recently completed an overdue rebuild of our bunkers as well as many other investments in course and building. The staff has a renewed commitment to customer service and are making efforts to simply get better everyday. Look forward for you coming back.
