Thinking About Living in Avalon Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Avalon Country Club and the surrounding Tellico Lake Region golf market.
Avalon is a gated, master-planned golf community spanning roughly 430 acres in Lenoir City, Loudon County -- not Maryville, despite the fact that consumer marketing routinely describes it as being in the 'Maryville foothills.' Buyers should use Lenoir City/Loudon County for any tax, school-district, or government-records purpose, and treat 'Maryville' as a loose geographic descriptor rather than the municipal location. The community's defining access-model feature, and its most consumer-relevant fact, is that club membership is explicitly NOT required to live in Avalon -- the community's own covenants and restrictions prohibit imposing mandatory golf membership on homeowners, a genuinely verified and unusual feature to find written into a gated golf community's governing documents.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole, par-72 Avalon golf course (6,764 yards from the longest tees) was designed by Joseph L. Lee and opened in 1997, earning a 4-star Golf Digest rating for its varied terrain, elevation changes, and slopes.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Avalon Country Club offers a real, named membership structure (Discovery, Family, Business, Social, and Summer tiers, plus optional golf-usage upgrades) -- but membership is optional, not required to live in the community, and the HOA's covenants and restrictions specifically prohibit the community from imposing mandatory golf membership on homeowners. This is a confirmed and meaningfully different model from WindRiver and Rarity Bay's mandatory-social-membership approach and from Tellico Village's bundled-rights model -- at Avalon, you can own a home and never join the club at all. Specific current initiation fees and dues for the Tennessee club were not found this session: the membership-rates PDF surfaced by search (avalongcc.com) belongs to a different, unrelated Avalon Golf & Country Club outside Tennessee (its listed contact numbers are Ohio-area-code), a name collision worth flagging explicitly -- the correct site for the Lenoir City club is avalongolf.com.
Living in Avalon Country Club
Avalon spans about 430 acres of hardwoods, streams, and lakes with mountain views. Homes range from roughly 1,900 to over 5,500 square feet in traditional, transitional, and custom styles; current listings run from roughly $1,445,000 and up, among the higher end of this market's researched communities. The main Avalon HOA's annual assessment is reported at $540/year (2026), though several sub-neighborhoods within Avalon carry their own additional HOA fees on top of that base assessment.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Community (HOA-level, non-club) amenities include a large saltwater pool with covered picnic areas, a community center, tennis courts, basketball, and pickleball -- available to all homeowners regardless of country-club membership status.
Location & Surrounding Area
Avalon sits in Lenoir City, Loudon County, near WindRiver and the broader Tellico Lake corridor, though it is not itself directly on Tellico Lake the way WindRiver and Tellico Village are.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm current club membership initiation fees and dues directly at avalongolf.com/memberships (not avalongcc.com, which is a different club).
- Confirm whether any Avalon sub-neighborhood HOA carries its own golf-related requirement beyond the main HOA's non-mandatory stance.
Notable
- The HOA's own covenants and restrictions prohibit imposing mandatory golf club membership on homeowners -- a confirmed, unusual, buyer-favorable feature.
- Marketed in some consumer sources as 'Maryville,' but its actual municipal location is Lenoir City, Loudon County.
- A same-named but unrelated 'Avalon Golf & Country Club' exists outside Tennessee at the similar domain avalongcc.com -- a real entity-identity trap for anyone researching this club online.
