It was our first time here and it was a wonderful experience. Mark, our waiter, was extremely knowledgeable and recommended the grouper and pasta dish .. they were both very very flavorful and as described… we will definitely be coming back…

Had a great time at Avalon! Course is in great shape and everyone was very nice! Tara was especially friendly and helpful when we called and also when we arrived! Can’t wait to go back!

Thanks for an awful experience. $117 for the starter to rush me to the 1st tee to join a different group when I was getting out of the cart to hit on the putting green. Not only did they change my tee time last minute but several greens keepers throughout the course pulled up to talk to other people in my foursome while I'm mid swing. Truly a terribly managed golf course. Zero stars if google didn't make me pick 1. I'll never play here again. Thanks.

What an incredible experience from the moment you walk in. It’s hard to find a place that gives both elegance and that mom and pop feel still. We will be back! Great course, great staff, great vibes!

We just had my mom's birthday party at Avalon Country Club and had a great experience! Dawn was super helpful and responsive in meeting our groups' (about 45 people) needs. The food was fantastic! We had an option of 6 choices that I had preselected (3 land and 3 sea) and all were delicious. There was also a kid menu. The service was excellent! The two girls we had were kind, fast and understanding of the children in the group. My mom was so happy and we were really grateful to have such a wonderful experience! Thank you so much to Dawn, Marco, Marisa and the other server whose name also begins with an M that I cannot remember! You were all amazing! We would absolutely recommend hosting a gathering here in the future! :)

It’s a short course, which is fine. Well maintained… But it’s a tight lay out, feels like you’re stacked on top of the other groups out there. On top of them having what appears like more than enough rangers/starters who don’t actually do anything to add separation to groups

Well maintained greens and fairways. Poor rental clubs and the drink cart never came by. I may not know the market well since I'm not from around here, but $150 with rentals may be over valued.

Great course. Very well maintained, tee boxes and greens were some of the nicest I played on all year. From the tips, this course is tougher than its rating would suggest. Would def play here again.
