Avalon Country Club

I just hosted a tournament at Avalon. The staff was excellent, the food was very good. They smoke their meat on site. My clients had a great time.

New owner is putting in a lot of upgrades and maintenance of course has improved tremendously.

This is a great golf course. It is under new management, and they are working hard to improve it. The bunkers are being rebuilt over the Winter. I would love to play this course again.

Having played Avalon, 3 times in the last six weeks means it's a course that I love visiting. 2 years ago this course was being run in to the ground, but since new owners have taken it over, they have done a remarkable turnaround. The fairways are lush, the ball sits up invitingly to be hit. The greens are also in very good condition, apart from #6, where the greens doesn't get enough sun. The tee boxes are also in good condition, barring a couple that needs a little work on. The one thing that lets this course down, are the sand traps. Very little sand, but plenty of stones & rocks. We play to the side of the bunkers, rather than risk breaking a club. The management know about the traps, & they are addressing the problem!

Overall, if you are looking to play here for the first time, treat yourself, you won't be disappointed. Also, if you play midweek, you will play 18 holes in less than four hours.

Thanks to the staff at Avalon, I will be back many more times!!

I've played this course many times as it's in a neighborhood near me. I like the layout but it often gets "burned out" by mid summer with very lean fairways. It was in great shape mid June with the exception of the bunkers. Sometimes unplayable for the thousands of pebbles in the sand. The staff reported that the new owner (2016) is redoing all bunkers this year. Overall, this is a great course and every hole is different and interesting.

The new owners have obviously put forth great effort and expense to return this once great course to its former glory. The fairways are well manicured and the ball always has a good lie. The roughs are not very deep, but fairly easy from which to play. The greens are grass covered once again and rolling at a medium/quick pace. They are very undulated and roll true. The bunkers have not been dealt with yet, but assured to be done soon.

The staff was a real surprise. I was met at my car with a cart and a friendly smile and that treatment continued in the clubhouse, the starter, the beverage cart, the crews working on the course and the 19th hole. I was pleased to see customer service and delighted to see my favorite course returning to life.

Great weather, course was in good shape. Bunkers need some work though.

Everything about this course was great. The only drawback is they are currently renovating the bunkers so if you hit a ball in the bunker you get a free drop no closer to the hole. As soon as those are complete (summer 2016) this course will be amazing. I enjoyed the food and the ladies were all really nice in the clubhouse.

Very long, challenging but fun course to play. I play this course quite often and really enjoy it. The greens are pretty fast and tough, but fair. The fairways are going to be nice when the grass starts growing.

I thought greens were good

Greens were just aerated and the course was wet, I'm not one to complain about that because I know what weather permits, but no one told us the course was cart path only, we noticed when we got on the fairway then drove on the dry part until we got off, a ranger saw us doing that and we got chewed out, it just seemed a little rude to get mad when we just didn't know the fairway was wet. And the prices should have changed with the green conditions.

Course is ok for the money. Greens and bunkers need a lot of attention. Staff in clubhouse very nice, guy working with carts/starter/ranger has been rude every time I play here, and today was no exception. I've never seen such mean, grumpy jerk as this guy at any course I've played. I sincerely hope the new owner throws this guy out soon. I've been looking at homes in the neighborhood, but if he's not gone next time I play here I'll know new owner has no chance at success.

The staff was very helpful. The course was well taken care of, especially the greens. I will definitely play here again.

The golf course was excellent though hilly. Beautiful fairways and immaculate greens. A few of the holes required accurate approaches but I found that I was not the only one that landed in the woods. A couple tee boxes were being reseeded but the alternates were every bit as good. Be careful when driving the carts though as they are electric and the brakes engage if you let off the accelerator. The day I played was after a heavy rainstorm. Wet pavement and instant braking make for a disquieting slide down a steep cart path. Lesson learned, do not let off the accelerator while going downhill. Yes, I would love to play the course again. However, I will probably wait for a drier day.

The pace of play slow as the weather was unseasonably warm and everyone had the same idea of playing in December, overall a pleasant round of golf. Friendly Staff

As a single I hooked up with Dad & his 2 adult sons We had a great time

Course is under new ownership. The biggest issue is and has been for some years the poor and stoney bunkers. With the potential for serious club damage I would recommend rake and place in all bunkers. otherwise look forward to a great day of golf.

Course is a fun, challenging track to play. Most golfers skilled average and up will enjoy it's challenge.

Nice course, layout was unique. Some of the greens were in rough shape but most were good.

This course is very well laid out, but very poorly maintained due to lack of willingness to spend the money needed to repair bare spots on greens tee boxes, and fairways. Ranger at course was old crotchety and very rude when their was almost no one on this course. Additionally, due to lack of maintenance the cart paths are falling apart and the roughs are being overtaken by weeds. It is really a shame that this course has fantastic potential to be a premium course but this is being wasted by a lack of investment and some staff with poor attitude not remembering to be courteous to paying customers.
