Inniscrone Golf Club
About
Inniscrone Golf Club in Avondale is one of the toughest public courses in the area. It is a formidable challenge to say the least, but an enjoyable one. None of the holes run parallel to each other and no two holes are alike either. The greens have quite a bit of variation from one to the next but mostly they are very large and extremely fast. Although the greens only have mild contouring, the rippling landscape still provides plenty of challenges throughout. Strategically placed bunkers perfectly complement the dramatic elevation changes, ranging from pot bunkers to vast expanses of sand. Inniscrone Golf Club's ninth hole is a memorable one since it encapsulates the course's appeal with a ridge of cross-bunkers just off the tee and even more along the left side.

Hole 13, back of the green Photo submitted by Edward3574350 on 12/20/2012
a bit disappointed
First time playing here, fortunately we had a guy in the group who knew his way around. My two biggest peeves were: no yardage markers in the fairways (some had stakes, some didn't, nothing in the ground, nothing on the cart paths) and a lack of positional flags on the flagsticks. Couldn't tell if the flag was front, middle, or back. Many tee boxes were bare ground. Fairways were good, greens were so-so. It was a challenging course but not worth the hour-and-a quarter drive for me.

Showing some wear, still always fun
I always enjoy playing Inniscrone a couple times a year, for about 15 or so. Only living half an hour away and a tough solid but fair layout is why. None of the holes are straight ahead. Even the shorter holes are not gimmies .
With a lot of recent rain, I expected things to be worse. Conditions are a bit off of what I have come to expect. A lot of hole placements hadn’t been moved in a while, and it was noticeable. Tees and fairways we’re 75%, but the greens were below par. ( not in a good way ) was lucky to avoid any bunkers today, but most seemed maintained. Very nice visuals at 11th tee box looking at the par 3 green. The backdrop to the green looked great today as the sun was shining right on it as we arrived. The 2 now grass bunkers along side the 15th green have come in nicely.
I recommend Inniscrone right now. I also recommend a GPS of some sort or at least some local knowledge. Catching a hot deal is always a plus.

Okay for the price, felt catfished
Pictures and website looked really promising, and everything looks great from a distance, but maintenance is awful. Greens had no consistency in mow, fringes were thicker than fairways, was told holes are only changed 3 or 4 times a summer, tee boxes were shaggy, trees overgrown. Has good bones, but needs to be taken care of better. Okay for being on the cheaper side, but would rather spent up for a better experience.

Never coming back
The course was in bad shape. The greens were ridiculously soft after not much rain the previous 3 days and two greens were so saturated they were unplayable. I don’t understand greens being unplayable on any nice day on a course ever. Will never be back here

Course is in good conditions
The roughs were sticky and challenging. The fairways were in good shape; better than usual. The traps actually had sand- soft and powdery. Great shape, tho they are still working through a few newly renovated grass mesh traps that appear to be coming in nicely. Overall impressed. They have come a long way in the last year.

Very poor conditions
To give some context, in the last month or so I have played Wyncote, Loch Nairn, Galen Hall, Pilgrim Oaks, Reading and Kimberton. Inniscrone was BY FAR the worst experience and conditions. Pace of play was excellent for a Sunday 10:30 tee time. Having the range right next to the check-in was great, but the smell of the sewage plant was not - a sign of things to come.
I had read the recent reviews on Golfnow saying to stay away but I had to see for myself. The course is a mess. The greens are the worst I have seen anywhere in a long time.
I'm a fan of golf architecture but not of Inniscrone - so many forced carries over marsh and wastelands. Really just a very contrived layout. The course reminds me of a certain breed of course in Myrtle Beach where courses were sculpted into wastelands with lots of fairway landing areas but few expansive fairways. Although there are a fair amount of open holes, the forced carries become old. That is a personal preference though. Maybe some people would like that. But, the greens were TERRIBLE. If you enjoy the greens at Pirate Wally's Miniature golf in Ocean City you'll love the greens at Inniscrone.
But seriously, it is extremely sad to see this happen to any course. Very, very sad.

Soft Greens
The fairways, rough and greens all were in great shape. The bunkers do need some work. A couple of the holes have unfriendly layouts. My primary complaint concerned the greens. Though in good condition they were extremely slow and this made for some maddening holes. I do not know if weather conditions had anything to do with this, but if not I doubt we will return this year.

Great Course
Incredible lay out. One of the best designed courses we’ve played. Staff is very professional and customer focused.
Maintenance needs to be improved. Traps and tee boxes need work. That said a favorite!

Great course, nice staff
The course is tough, long and fun. Go for it. The staff are friendly and sincere. Many thanks to them for working hard to keep the pace of play moving. Too many golfers play the back tees rather than the forward tees, however. Again, the course is tough and long; playing back tees beyond your capacity causes delays and frustrates for you and for the groups behind you. Course staff can only urge you to play faster. You should recognize that the course is tough and long and play the forward tees. You are not that guy. Play forward, enjoy a nice course and keep it moving.

Don’t waste your time or money
This course is almost unplayable
I’ve never been on more soggy tee boxes, fairways or greens ever…..numerous plugged balls…..ball marks on the greens like you’ve never seen……some of the holes on the back were barely playable but most were not……greens were bumpy & ran at probably 5…….there were plenty of extremely dry spots just off the course so they can’t blame it on rain..…go to Wyncote instead
