Avalon Country Club

The course was very wet, poor drainage. But the staff is excellent.

The 6th hole Green is still horrible. No grass, it is basically algae everywhere.

Course was in great shape for the time of year. Awesome views!

This is a beautiful course with nice mountain style layout. From reading past reviews I knew the course had some issues. The greens were in really good shape. They were fast which made some side hill and down hill putts difficult. The fairways were in good shape for this time of year. It was very wet because of rain but still very playable. My main complaint is about the bunkers. Not the standing water or some of the washout from rain but about the rocks that are in the bunkers. Be careful DANGER lurks just below surface. Would suggest allowing lifting and raking to make sure you are not going to hit a softball sized rock. Will play again but will avoid bunkers.

Worst course in the area for drainage. Staff blames it on rain but other courses are playing just fine. Bunkers were filled with water and rocks.

Enjoyed the course very much. Course was busy and the cart path only conditions led to a slow round but the views are great and the greens were very good. Always fun to play Avalon.

Avalon is a very nice course with easy access off I-40. There are some great holes along with some average holes. Overall the courses was in very good shape except the bunker, which need sand. I actually hit a shot into one and the surface was so hard, the ball bounced out. I must admit that I was really expecting even better conditions considering the high-end houses along most of the fairways I did not eat in the clubhouse but I noticed that they had some specials. I also noticed that the merchandise in the pro shop was lacking. There is also a lot of noise from the interstate nearby.
I will be back for a great golf course, however.

I'm not the best golfer in the world. I've shot a 74 there and I've shot a 88 there. its all about ball placement. Enjoy it's a great course

Cart path rules was a little aggravating but they're doing it for the greater good. I loved this course, it was peaceful and beautiful. Sand traps had rocks in them is the only thing I can say bad about it. Yes I will go back! 98% positive and 2% negative

I good day of golf. The course is in pretty good condition. The round took quite a long time to finish because of strange cart path rules. I was also disappointed in the condition of the sand traps on the course. Another local golfer described it as "Gravalon". I would think with their rates there would be more sand than gravel in their hazards. Be prepared to likelihood that you'll damage your equipment if you decide to play out of them.

The greens were soft and accepting of approach shots. And very challenging quick putting speed.

Overall, The course is in good condition except for their sand traps.

I have played this course about a dozen times, but the most recent was in 2007.

Good points about this course: course layout and condition of fairways

Need for Improvement: bunkers need some work.....lots of rocks and some were dirt filled.....little or no sand. Also, the speed of the greens was way too fast for the amount of undulation. There is a difference between challenging and unplayable. These were close to unplayable.

The speed of the greens was the primary factor in the slow pace of play.

I probably won't be back. 4 hours and 50 minutes for this round was too much.....the unplayable greens made this one of my least enjoyable rounds in quite some time.

The course has some rough spots on the fairways and greens, but it is evident that they are trying to improve the conditions.

Nice layout with challenges and rewards. Good value and worth the trip.

The fairways are nice and greens are fast. The sand traps have rocks the size of your fist and they have about 1 inch of sand then hard clay.

Course was excellent but driving on fairway holes was ridiculous. There was only 5 holes allowing 90 degree rule; one might as well be walking and save money. Too expensive to play 18 with a cart and have to walk to all balls on 13 holes.

Great layout. Nice and open. Clubhouse is average. Excellent Par 5's and fairly well maintained! A great course overall for the price.

Hard to find fault with Avalon.
Sandtraps are not on the same level of quality as everything else!!!!

It's a shame but course has deteriorated over the years. What was once Knox Co finest has not become another place to go play a round.......For what I paid it was a great value, wouldn't recommend over $30

Every thing very good,but need 90degrees for seniors.

Very good course condition considering the winter we had here and the extreme heat.

The only thing I can say bad about this course is the fairways had a rough winter.you could not drive on 14 of the 18 fairways.( I'm not a walker)
