Avalon Country Club

The layout is very nice and challenging but course is rough. Hitting off dirt a lot. Tee boxes were bare dirt on a lot of them. Double booked so they rushed us onto the back 9 to start which was fine for us. For what it costs, we will probably play other courses.

Greens were excellent, course layout is beautiful. The fairways and tee boxes are not in very good shape. I know it's a bit early for their fairway grass to be in, but they were basically bare. Staff was awesome. Amenities were fantastic. Outside of the fairway and tee box conditions, this is the best bang for your buck in the area. Food is delicious as well.

This course has a great layout in the foothills of the Smokies but it is in significant need of some repair and watering. Most of the greens were so hard and bone dry making them impossible to play. Some of the back nine were much better. I'd give this course a few weeks before playing it.

Both the fairways and the tee boxes are missing grass. You literally hit off of dirt the entire day..

$85 for this course is a joke!! There is a reason their tee sheet is wide open every single day… locals won’t play it!! If you’ve never played this course, do not pay full price or a dime over $60. There are FAR BETTER public courses within a 15 minute drive for under $65!! Here’s some advice to management. Quit comparing yourself to Willow Creek or Tellico village, you’re not them, never will be. It doesn’t matter how much money you pump into the course, it’s built on a rocky hill lol. You’re what Dead Horse was 15 years ago. So drop the price to like $50 and maybe locals will come and play this goat pasture built on a rocky hill. Your competition and price point should be Centennial, but their course conditions and price point are better. QUIT CHARGING COUNTRY CLUB PRICES FOR A BOTTOM TIER PUBLIC COURSE. Your regular price is as high or close to the guest fee for the premier country clubs in the area….. what are y’all doing 🤣🤣

Had a great day on the course. Not very crowed, course in very good condition.
All of the staff were great to be with.

This used to be a nice course but has gotten so bad over the years. Literal holes in some of the greens where disease has spread. Also, why put tee boxes on side sloping areas? It doesn’t seem like they have maintenance crew. If they do they are poorly funded or incompetent. Luckily there are many better course that are less expensive than Avalon in the area.

This course has it all. Extreame evevation changes, water carrys and multi-tiered greens. The course is well maintained and the carts are in excellent condition with GPS. Every round an adventure.

(3 handicap) First time playing this course. Staff and starter were all very nice and accommodating. Putting area was very indicative of the the greens. Fast, firm, and in excellent condition.
However the tee boxes and fairways are in need of a lot of work. Not much grass to speak of and tee boxes were not level on most boxes.
The layout was very enjoyable and lots of elevation changes. Won’t be back until they get the fairways sorted out though.

Course is in good condition year round. Staff is very nice and don’t push you to finish and bring your cart back before dark. I usually always get a twilight time and there’s almost nobody else playing.

I was paired with two very positive players. We played efficiently and had a great time. We had a frost delay of about two hours. Once the starter directed us to the 1st hole I found the course to be in great condition. I look forward to playing this course again.

Due to the cooler temperatures, there were not a lot of people on the course. The clubhouse paired me with
two players that were great golfers so we could play the course efficiently.
I liked the layout of the course and we kept our balls on the fairway. The houses were spaced far enough away from the course so there wasn’t a danger of ending up out of bounds.
They do a great job taking care of this course. I look forward to playing this course again.

Fun course to play, nice layout, reasonable greens.
