Sunday Afternoon Golf

Decided to play Sunday afternoon since my Saturday tee time (different course) was rained out. Course is in good shape and has an enjoyable layout. Got a good deal through GolfNow. Will play Avalon again.

Still a gem

This course is even better than it used to be! The greens are pure, if not a bit hard/dry this time of year. The fairways are rolling! Plan your shots and approaches in accordingly. Would've liked some better food choices at the turn.

Outstanding challenging course from multiple tee levels

Outstanding golf course layout In design, great balance of elevation change’s which make the course challenging from each of the four tee box areas. There is a proper amount of sand bunkers to protect the massive greens. I believe it is one of best public courses I the Lenoir City area a suburb of southwest Knoxville TN.

Perfect weather

very nice course, but slow play

Really enjoyed the course. Great condition. Greens are speedy, but not too fast. A few of pin positions were very difficult (too difficult?).

Pace of play was very slow compared to what I have experienced before. Would be nice to have seen a ranger. But, I still recommend playing the course.
