Winter Golf

It poured the night before and was freezing the day of. We were the only 2 that played all day. The course was in great shape considering the weather. Staff let us go ahead and play. Looking forward to coming back in the summer.

Gorgeous coarse

Love the layout and the elevated boxes overlooking the ponds. Greens were in perfect rolling shape to sink some birdies. The turkey wrap was excellent as well!!!

Never again

This course was great years ago, I’ve been a few times over the last year and I will not go back after this week. The greens are awful. Especially when they are charging 70 dollars. When I pay that type of money to play golf I expect all of the course to be in good shape. They have no business charging what they do for what they are offering. The greens suck! I would much rather pay halv or a third of the price and play literally anywhere else in the area. Whittle springs or Knox muni greens both roll better and put theses greens to shame. Dead horse or river island are much better instead, all for cheaper.

Great course

This is a great course! I feel bad about having to say however, call the course and check there price for when you want to play. I have found this in more than one case that the price of a round is cheaper booking directly with the course. I am also finding that many courses I once booked on golf now have dropped there service. I regret having to discuss this issue on a review of a great course like Avalon but golf now is not listing.
