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.

Confused
I read the recent reviews about negligence to the course; the past week the area received 18 inches of rain. If you cut your on lawn you know you have to wait days to begin cutting. I’m surprised the course was even opened. Golfed today and the grounds crew was out in force since the rainfall has lightened up.
Current state of affairs are sad
Look, this course wasn't without its design flaws at the outset. A lot of tees and greens were doomed due to airflow (or lack thereof), and there were a lot of low areas with nowhere for water to go.
....but good lord I don't think anyone even works here anymore. They've given up. The bunkers don't have sand in them anymore and are mostly grown in with weeds, as the beautiful faces Hanse designed have crumbled with time. There are countless water hazards that are...uh, new? Many of the great design features (the redan 8th, the blind cape 4th, the 9th tee boxes) have been abandoned.
Holes have been in the same place for weeks, and are a solid half inch more narrow than normal. The rough is likely cut weekly at absolute most. The greens are dead and spongey. The coup de grace is the "signature" 13th - the tree the logo is based on cracked and looks like it's on its way out.
I'd come back just for the bones (they're still there, I promise) but there's no meat left on them. Hope someone buys this place and tries to bring it to what it was supposed to be, otherwise they should just let it go.

What Happened?
Is this place being sold, or did they just stop caring? The course is an absolute disaster. They had a total of 2 employees on a Saturday Afternoon in August. Every fairway (literally every one) was COVERED in grass clippings, and that’s in the spots that weren’t missing from old divots or just straight dead grass. The greens weren’t green; more brown from the spots that no longer has grass on them. Good luck lining up a putt that’s has to roll over 3 different terrain types, then drop in a cup that CLEARLY hasn’t been changed in about a week. However, the new hazards are fun....oh they aren’t there by design, though. Just random lakes and craters all over the course. If you’re lucky enough to land in a bunker, don’t forget your pick axe, weed whacker, and maybe a small excavator. Very sad to see this place go from one of the better public courses in the area to a complete piece of garbage. Hope they wake up

Ain’t what it used to be
Course is in ROUGH shape. Greens are beat. 5 hour+ round. Wanted to leave after 9. 2:45 to play the front. It used to be pretty decent. Not worth it anymore. Won’t be back

Poor conditions and not friendly
Great layout but needs a lot of TLC to improve tee boxes, greens and bunkers.
Staff can be very unfriendly and refuse to offer refunds even when there are thunder and lightning storms.

Inniscrone Out_and_ done
Good, tough track but most of the greens were in bad to horrible shape. Dead spots, ball marks, holes. Tees in pretty bad shape, too. Some of the fairways hadn’t been cut in days, were like first cut of rough.
I won’t consider returning until probably next season.
Thank you for taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass along your feedback to the staff so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting us!
Owner has given up
Course is in horrible condition & cannot blame it on recent weather. Tee boxes are so bad, have to hit off the side or in front to have footing. Greens are ultimately unputtable in most areas. Holes have not been moved in ages so all around hole is nothing but spike marks & basically mud spots. Rough on some holes is not rough but just woods & swamp just starting to take over. Also can understand bunkers being a little rough but some arent even bunkers anymore, just have transformed into swamp bogs. Some are even literally in the fairway.
Owners have given up & hope to get enough people on the course due to their cheap prices & website photos to hope they can fool people into playing. It is sad. Play anywhere else but here, a lot of good public courses in PA, DE, MD. Don’t waste your time here

Great course
Great course, played after a big rain. Little wet, great layout, and really challenging. Will be back on a dry day for sure!
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Inniscrone Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Value Course
Inniscrone is the best course in the area for the price. Greens are now in great shape.
Terrific! Thank you for your kind words. We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Inniscrone Golf Club.
Great layout lousy maintenance
Fairway and green were in poor condition. this may have been due to lack of maintenance staff because of COVID 19. We had Yed the course several years ago and it was in much better shape.

Terrible booking policy
I booked for four persons and paid a deposit. In the morning two of our party called off but I was forced to pay full green fees for all of our party of four. This is not a policy that is consistent with other public courses in the area.e.g Wyncote, Pedlar's Oak etc For this reason I will not be back. This is gauging in the worst sense especially when the course was not all that busy, and there were other two balls playing.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. We're sorry that two of you party couldn't make your tee time, but our no show policy is stated on all of our tee times when booking. We apologize if you were not aware of our no show policy. Thank you for your feedback and we hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Disappointed
Have played the course for several years but have seen it go down hill. There are a lot of things wrong with the course but the final straw was the crab grass on the greens! Unfortunately I have played my last round at this course.

If they would get the greens And fairways back up to par it would be an amazing course.
