Reviewed: Played on:Jul 23, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good signage, tee pads and the best baskets I've seen.

Cons:

It may be playable in the spring but in the middle of summer this course is overall just too difficult and basically unplayable.

It is so overgrown that almost every hole is nearly impossible for an intermediate player to birdie (assuming all par 3) without having had a miracle shot off the tee. That might make for a fun but challenging course but not at Avery. Here most fairways (if there is one) are less than 20 ft wide and the rough is so thick and pervasive that most players are going to be needing multiple rescue shots to get back on track after missing the fairway. If you go off target by just a few degrees and go into the heavy rough (which is EVERYWHERE), you end up with a typically impossible shot because the shrubs are so thick that you can't throw through more than 10 ft of rough in any direction so you have to pitch or roll out sideways or backwards.

This course is too difficult and not fun for those who it was designed for. When the foliage is in full bloom, you need to be a pro here to come close to par and no pros will waste their time with a course like this.

Other Thoughts:

There are way too many good courses within 20 min of Avery to justify coming back here.
