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.

Course is always in good shape, with a lot of unique and challenging holes.

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.

Not a stroll through the park

This is a very challenging course. Somewhat narrow fairways and speedier than average greens make this course a bit too difficult for less experienced players. The rough is quite lush,thick, and long. We drove into the rough and it took ten minutes to find the ball, and then another five minutes to find the cart! Stay out of the rough. The cost is upper end, in fact somewhat inflated beyond comparable courses in the area.

Enjoyed course, but Greens and sand bunkers need work. Sand bunkers full of rocks.

Interesting course, could be better if greens were in better shape. Told by staff not a good idea to play sand bunkers because they were full of rocks. Good driving fairways that require long drives, difficult for those who do not drive long. Road noise disturbing.

Over all it was a great course.

This is a fun but yet a challenging course. Hills, some wide fairways, water and plenty of sand trips. This was/is a well laid out course. Play with a friend I have not seen in years and he enjoyed just as much. We will be golfing here again.

Great course

Staff very nice...greens were great...well mowed and mantained. A good course for any level golfer. Course is very pricey unless you get a deal, regular fees are $59.00 which is ok for weekends but weekdays should be around $40-$45.

Avalon Golf Course,Knoxville, TN review

The Avalon course is challenging. The course has thick rough and many hills. Need to keep the ball in play. The eighteenth hole is a great final par five that will give up a par with a good drive and second shot (3 wood for me). From there it is a eight or nine iron over the water to a tricky green..

Very nice course that requires some local knowledge.

This course is fun to play and beautiful. When I arrived, I was greeted at my car and given my cart. The staff in the pro shop and the starter were very nice. Warm up balls cost extra (get them). The course is very hilly so you are presented with lots of uneven lies. Be sure to bring your GPS unit since the course markings are hard to find. It helps if you get to play with someone who knows the course since a little local knowledge will go a long way. If you use the appropriate tees, you will be rewarded with an enjoyable round on a very pretty course. Our round took four hours. Sweet.

The course has good balance

It had been about 7 years since last played Avalon and was pleasantly surprised to find it has matured nicely. A very playable layout with challenging greens. Play could be assisted with more and accurate yardage markers. Overall very enjoyable round.

Awesome views & course too

Great course with undulating greens! First hole is a bit intimidating and every hole fits perfectly to the landscape. Big greens with many slopes. I would play this course again in a heartbeat!
