Fast Fast Greens

Challenging course with some very difficult flag placement. All in all the course was in good condition, though a few of the greens were in need or healing/work. The folks working in the club house and bar were very friendly and willing to do anything to make our time there the best it could be. By the way, we had a hard freeze the night before we played so there was an hour plus delay....understandable and they offered to let us out of our tee time if we wanted. Will probably play this course in the spring, here it is beautiful that time of year.

Good course, great staff, but greens need help

The condition of the course was great except for the greens. There are multiple "dead spots" on the greens that make for some slick putts.

The ranger was probably the most friendly ranger I've encountered. Usually, I try to avoid talking to rangers as they seem to be upset that I'm bothering them by wanting to enjoy a round of golf, but the ranger on the course at Avalon today was the most helpful, sincere, and friendly staff member I've ever encountered on the golf course. I was very impressed with his patience as we had to delay our tee time because our 4th player was late.

Challenging but good course

Fairly long holes and undulating greens make this course challenging. But it is a good test of your golf skills. A lot of traps to navigate, have to loft it into lot of greens. Greens and fairways are in good condition. Starter had a great personality, and was fun to interact with. Net, net the course is tough but fun to play.

They were loosing their Greens and also set too Fast!!!

We Played this Course last year and previous years and loved it. It has always been well maintained and challenging. This was the first time this year playing it and it was very frustrating. They were loosing quite a few of their Greens and they hand them set up way to Fast, like linoleum!
There is no challenge when you can't even control the ball on the green. It just makes for longer play and a frustrating Day!!!

Nice course, needs maintenance BADLY!

I've played the course before and it's been a challenge every time. The views are great and the layout is nice as well. This time around though the greens were horrible. Some were dirt and patchy at best. They rolled super fast because there was hardly enough grass on them! Id say at least 8-10 greens showed dirt and 3-4 were basically unplayable. My playing partner and I agreed to not even putt on those holes. We were thinking about asking for a partial refund, but because we got such a great deal on golf now, we refrained. If we would have paid full price, they would have received an ear full from us. If they fix the course I would go back, but not right now.

Unlike previous experiences at this course, the greens (always a strong suit in the past) were in terrible condition.

Greens were in terrible condition. The rough was also not well maintained. Very disappointing since previous rounds at this course were very good.

challenging course with lot of sand. some bunker held water. some unusally wet spot. fairways and greens in excellent condition

I have played the course in the past. it has been about 2 years and the fairways weren't as thin as I remember, much improved. Plenty of trouble to get into but with some course management can score well

Greens just aerated

I will go back and play this course but I think I will give it a few more weeks. 9 and 18 greens were in good shape... the rest of the greens are very poor as far as conditions and consistency is concerned.

Everything else was very well kept up and lush.

Beautiful day and fun

I loved the special rate for the 2 of us. The course was in good condition and it was a good outing for us.
Pace of play was great. we had no waiting. Slowed by our stop at the turn for a bite to eat. Played the front 9 in less than 2 hours.

Poorly maintained for the price

Played course for 1st time on 9/1/13. Will never play here again. The greens were pock marked with unrepaired divots everywhere and many appeared to be diseased. The tees were infested with crabgrass and the fairways were bare in spots and generally in poor condition. The rough was very deep and many of the bunkers had grass growing in them! There are many nicer courses in East Tennessee for a lot cheaper. My advice: try any of the Tellico Village Courses, rarity bay or Wind River.
