Avalon Country Club

Course was in pretty decent shape despite it being winter. I do like how range balls are included in the green fees for non members. Pace of play was good and the greens were in good shape for the most part. Couple illegal pin placements and fast greens made it challenging. The cafe is closed on Mondays so not having a hot dog at the turn was a bummer

I’ve played at Avalon several times over the past year. The course has usually been in decent shape—not great, but acceptable for the $50–$55 price tag. However, I played there today (6/20/25) and was shocked to be charged $85. That price is completely unreasonable given the current condition of the course. Some of the greens are in poor shape, and most of the tee boxes are in terrible condition. It doesn’t seem like much is being done to maintain or improve the course. On top of that, most of the golf carts have brake locks that don’t even work, which is both frustrating and a safety concern. Earlier this week, I played at Fairfield Glade, where the courses are immaculate. They charge around $90–$95, and it’s well worth it because the quality and upkeep are clearly top-notch. Avalon, on the other hand, is charging a premium rate without delivering a premium experience. If they’re going to charge $85, it should at least feel like the money is being reinvested in the course. Right now, it doesn’t.

One of the best restaurants in the area. If you play golf it’s a must stop. I’ve had many great meals here over the years The Salmon salad was outstanding. Fresh Jalapeños made a great touch. The salmon was cooked to perfection. I’ll be back!
