Avalon Golf & Country Club, The Grand Resort

The course is in poor at best shape. Pace of play is horrendous! No food at the turn. This is a $30/round course not a $90/ round coursei

This could be a great place to play. However there are some issues, both good and bad. The good being it was wide open both in terms of play and the course itself. It’s a pretty easy course to score. However, on a weekend, no cart girls, no shack open at the turn. This doesn’t make much sense for a club that charges essentially private non equity club level fees. Additionally some of the tee boxes and greens were experiencing some serious disease.

Great course great staff. Greens nice and fast like I like them

This was out first stop on our Penn-Ohio Golf Trail weekend. What a beautiful place. The Avalon folks did a great job to this venerable old CC.

It was a hot and humid afternoon but the greens were soft (thank goodness). With the exception of the 2ns par 5 on the front (and no 1 hdcp) 17 of the 18 greens slope back to front, and if you didn't hold your shot to the front of the green it would roll off.

Restaurant, bar and cigar bar were first rate as was every member of the staff we encountered.

(Cost of round above is an estimate as it was included in a 3 day 2 night package)

One of the few public Stanley Thompson courses you can play in the country let alone Ohio. Ives the layout, the old school, large built-up greens. Conditions were perfect. This is a must play for the fan of top notch public golf in Ohio.

Course offers a membership with two other courses: Buhl Park and another.

Solid old school Tom Bendelow golf course. Course is routed over flat terrain and has built up greens. Greens and bunkering were the highlight of the round.

Very good course conditions as it is part of a multiple country clubs. Solid course.

Course was in great condition, greens were awesome. Pace of play could have been somewhat quicker

Solid Dye course with a Tim Liddy redo. Course is quite flat, but makes up for this with strategic bunkering, use of water and fast / undulating greens. A must play for the Pete Dye fan.

Terrific A W Tillinghast course that is no longer completely private and allows some public play. Course has a tremendous layout that takes full advantage of the rolling terrain and creek that runs through the property. The fifth hole has to be seen to believe. Course is well worth your time and effort to play.

Great layout, great conditions, but it would have taken us 5+ hrs to play as several 5somes were ahead of us on a Sunday morning. We skipped 7 and 9, went inside and had lunch and then played the back in the afternoon in less than 2 hrs. Like the course better than Avalon Lakes. The tee positions are not the best, in that you have to play from either 6500 or 5700 yds, nothing in between.

Great layout, tight but a fair test. Greens very challenging (stay below the pin). Outdoor patio and bar is 1st class.

We played Squaw and Avalon lakes on a golf package deal and highly recommend it. This is a typical Pete Dye course with water hazards and undulating greens. Course was in great shape and we played in 4 hours on a Sunday. The course tips on the website helped out since it was our first time there

Great practice facility here recommend getting there early. Stay below the hole as the green speed was posted 11 but they felt faster. Country club facilities here and its a must play
