Avalon Country Club spreads across 166 acres at the foot of the Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee, roughly 20 minutes from downtown Knoxville and a similar distance from McGhee Tyson Airport, with interstate access close to the clubhouse.
The course opened in 1997 and was designed by Joseph L. Lee. Its 18 holes measure 6,764 yards from the longest tees, routed through varied terrain with notable changes in elevation and slope from hole to hole. The greens have been rebuilt with Primo Zoysia grass.
