Avalon Country Club

I played from the whites which I think played around 6300yds. I loved the elevation changes and the great views. A far cry from the South Carolina courses I'm used to. Course conditions were really nice with the exception of the bunkers. However even the ranger (who was a pleasure to talk with) told me that it's basically a local rule to take your ball out of the bunker since 90% of them almost all rock. They know it's an issue so just know that if you go in the bunker, play ground under repair and take a drop. There were a few holes where you wanted to thread the needle, but most holes were pretty fair and fun to play. Stay out of the rough though, the second cut was pretty nasty and if I didn't have someone who helped look for my ball, I probably would have lost a few just buy landing in the rough.

Overall though,I really enjoyed playing out here.

I almost gave up on Avalon but new ownership has completely turned this course around; like a rising Phoenix!

I'm in sales and always looking for courses to entertain clients. This is now my go to course personally and professionally. They have it all; pool, bar, driving range, and I hear a fine dining steak and seafood restaurant will open soon.

I look forward to playing the course in the years to come with my son and family.

Thanks for all you do!

I travel for a living and played it some time ago. I just played it again and it's so much improved I can't wait to come back. It's a beautiful course, perfect layout and the restaurant food is great. Would recommend for sure.

Friendly staff. Course in good condition. Enjoyed my round.

Very nice course. Greens had been recently cut, but still in good condition. Lots of character. Nice elevation changes. Bunkers are horrible!!!! Bunkers are unplayable right now. I heard that they are going to rework them soon. Need it badly. We just pretended they didn't exist. I'd definitely play it again.

Course is in good shape. Nice layout with the exception of 17, seems a little unfinished. Pace of play on back nine was horrendous. Three hours on back nine due to twosomes. Need a ranger encouraging people to keep things moving. Beautiful day for golf though.

I like the layout of the course but the tee box's were in very bad shape and look like Fairways need overseeding Bunker's need to be destroyed the are very bad I do believe they are on the rite path

Would be all 5 stars if the sand traps were worked on. Very friendly staff, great food, nice atmosphere, great course. Doing a lot of improvements that will make it 5 stars ✨ in all the books. Don't wait to join this club.

Playing this early in the year I expected the brown conditions on the fairways, what I didn't expect was the speed and pin placements on almost all the greens. All greens were covered with a green substance that looked good but was not good for holding any shots. The greens here are sloped, it is Tennessee, but the coating made the greens extremely fast and the pins seemed to be placed on the crest of a hill. I asked the starter for advice on putting, he said stay below the hole, but a shot into the upslope would roll off the front or one carried to the top would keep going. I did place this course in September and the greens were much more playable.

As a result of the design involving the cart path, when "cart path only", a real bear to walk. The paths are often above the fairway. Think twice if it's been raining!

Great course. Staff extremely friendly.

Arrived early to check in and find club house golf shop has been moved to front of building. Hit a few putts and drove up to starter before first tee where we were asked to present receipt and sign and print on clipboard. Questioned starter about course conditions and was informed sand bunkers were in bad shape (mostly dirt with rock in them) and most people were laying out of the sand traps. Was informed we were early for our tee time, but no one was in front of us, so we were allowed to tee off early. Golf course played difficult on long par fours, greens were in good shape and held well, tee boxes and fairways were good, cart paths need some work. Also had a major water leak on hole #11 near tee box and had the remains of a golf cart that had burned to the ground (never saw anything like that before). Overall a good deal thanks to Golf Now, but would not want to pay full price for current conditions.

It was the 2nd time in 3 days i played this course.It was close to Hotel i was staying at for business. The people were very friendly and helpful .The course is getting ready for some major changes under new owners.especially the bunkers. course was still in pretty good condition.

I always love playing this course. The course was a little dry, but considering we have had a very dry summer it was in excellent condition. It is a challenging course with lits of sand and very challenging greens, but I would make this my regular course if I could.

I have played this course hundreds of times. Before the new owner bought it last fall, Avalon was in rough shape. The new owner has improved the fairways, the greens, the clubhouse, the food, and the overall experience. The bunkers remain a weakness but plans are in place to address this concern. The layout is superb and offers big greens and design subtleties than require thoughtful shot selection. A truely enjoyable course!

I've always heard what a great layout it was but had been weary to give it a try because of condition reports. Well fear not my friends, this course is on its way back up! You will not be disappointed! Is it perfect, well no. But I can promise you that it is money well spent and worth the time to stop and play!

Course is in great shape, bunkers need work but I understand that to be in process as new owners are improving the course as quickly as it can be done and remain open. I will definitely be playing again. They are very structured so don't be put off by someone asking you a question a little abruptly.

Note to management, tell your employees that a friendly demeanor is always critical. They were all nice just the one asking me about my cart was a little short.
