Great shape

First time playing Avalon this morning and I really enjoyed it. I was one of the first to tee off so pace was fast. The course was in very good shape. Awesome staff as well. This is most definitely a course I will be playing again.

Top Notch

This course is one of the nicest and well kept courses I have ever played. I’m from Florida and this was a great change and challenge for me. Fairways and greens were awesome. Played at mid day and pace of play was excellent. Would highly recommend.

Had to play it twice

Greens were almost completely healed from the aeration. They seemed to roll pretty true. Otherwise conditions were very good. Nice wide fairways and the rough was cut short enough so finding a ball was no problem or much of a issue getting out of it. Loved it. Course was pretty empty so I did the replay rate.

Ran out of golf carts

For $70 a round, I would think they would have enough golf carts. I arrived 60 minutes before my tee time but couldn’t go to the range because they were out of carts. I had to switch out carts twice because they needed them for other groups. Eventually teed off. The tee times were split by 4 minutes so the course was very backed up. Very bush league and not what I was expecting.

Avalon soars

Played this course 2 years ago- greens were so bad we were given a pass for a free round. Played today- excellent course condition, great staff and had a beer in the cozy lounge. Only negative- 3 holes border on the interstate- quite a bit of highway noise
