It's subjective - it may sound disharmonious to your inner ear as you read it. You may find yourself stumbling over it if you read it aloud.
Sentences may be awkward if they have too many commas or are otherwise too cluttered. They may have redundancies.
I got lots of hits for "awkward sentences" on Google. They are sentences where something just doesn't seem right.
