Avalon Country Club

This course had a great layout but the fairways were only half there. The greens were great though. I enjoyed the par 5's. The terrain was hilly, so knowing how the ball would react off of hills kept us guessing but still fun.
I can see this course being a really good one if the fairways were in better shape.

First time playing Avalon this year. People were great except for not mentioning the temporary green on front nine. Money and time need to be spent to repair teeboxes, fairways, and rock removal from bunkers.

Great course, great weather, great facilities. Only 1negative for the day: hole 6 had a temporary green which was horrible. More disappointing was that we had no heads up from the pro shop or starter before heading out. That was definitely not a day destroyer but I thought it would be pertinent info for the future.

I love this course but it's been awhile since I've played there. I've never seen such a high caliber course be in such poor shape . Several tee boxes are gone. Multiple fairways gone and one hole w dead green has a flag stick stuck in ground at 127 yards w no green. It's truly embarrassing to think I paid 44.00 and no one warned me of the condition of this course.

Course has lost a lot of its fairways. Greens are in fairly rough condition as well. Bunkers are very poor with a good bit of rocks mixed in. I have played this before when it was in good condition and enjoyed it, but I will not return until the course is repaired.

the greens were good but on about half of the fairways the grass was dead and the fairway was wet. Made it difficult to make a good shot. When the course gets in good shape I would like to play it again but I live close to 500 miles away.

one par 3 (7th hole) was being redone. looks great, will open up in about a month. temp green was pretty bad.

I can not believe the condition of this course. I once rated this course in the top 5 in the entire area. Now I refuse to go back there.

A good value for a upscale challenging course. The staff was helpful and friendly.

I love the layout of this golf course. The greens were in pretty good shape. They were really fast which I liked. The fairways and tee boxes however were a different story. Due to the fact that they were Bermuda, there was no grass at all to hit off of. Would have been a great value if the grass had been grown out a little bit. The money we paid for the conditions just may have been a little high

The golf course is a fun and challenging course a couple of the greens had some damage to them but overall it was nice

I don't know what's going on at Avalon. They used to be a "premier" course. These days they seem to be directing their attention to beautification instead of the things golfers care about - like SAND in the bunkers, grass surrounding the greens, cart paths without holes...the list goes on. Thank goodness the greens are still in good shape and it IS a pretty course with some challenging holes. I do think they could spend a little more time and money on the grounds, though.

Grass is still dormant, so turf condition will improve. Even when in fairway, the ball is on a bare lie. There's not much turf at this time. The bunkers need some serious attention. We couldn't believe the amount of golf ball to baseball sized rocks in the bunkers.

Wow! is a word I would use to describe my experience at Avalon on Sunday 4-13-14.
The practice tee for visitors is like visiting the moon. Nothing but sand, I thought about setting up a volley ball net to see if my group wanted to play a quick game of beach volleyball. No takers though. The members practice area looked OK but we were told that only members could practice there. Wow!
The fairways are the worst I've ever seen since I've been playing Avalon-even for this time of the year, sparse hard, unacceptable-Wow! I was told the greens were punched some 5 weeks ago, slow, very sparse in places, very bumpy-Plinko anyone? Consider enforcing automatic 2 put rule. If you confidence is a little shaky on the putting greens, you'll need to see a shrink after putting those greens-Wow!
Bunkers-terribly maintained, lots of rocks, not good-Wow!
Overall, very disappointed. Though not my favorite course in ET, one that's convenient and has a decent layout. Course is in need of some serious maintenance and soon. No way they can charge premium greens fees for a course in this condition. Too many alternatives in much better shape.
In a word...Wow!

Greens rolled well but fairways are atrocious. Worst shape I have ever seen this course in. Talked to a member who stated the membership has even been complaining about condition of the fairways. This was once my favorite course in the area and a good value for the layout and challenge.

Ready to punch.... Course is dry and windburned now but will soon be great

I have played this course many times,very challenging and a great place to play

Not worth full course price in my opinion. Played 9 for $20 with cart. It's a nice course in the summer. $45 < is too high for 18 .

I use to live at Reynolds Plantation. Rather play 9 at the landing or great waters for $45 than 18 for same price at Avalon.

Used to be a member here but now, what a joke! Buddy drove 30 miles to play and highly disappointed. Dead greens every other hole, no grass and cracked balls on range, and more rocks than sand in the bunkers! Such a shame! Used to be on of the premier courses in the greater Knoxville area!

Great course, great layout, great conditions for the weather we have had the last 3 weeks. Greens were solid and fast, fairways were cut short. Great Febraury golf!
