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
Great layout
Few public courses can match private course feel. Non boring layout great design utilizing hills, good bunker location. Needs greens to be cut lower to appreciate the green complex
Poor conditions
Course conditions were significantly worse than last time I played here, which was 4-5 years ago. Greens were in bad shape, should have been aerated in the early spring but I guess with COVID-19 normal maintenance wasn't done. Rough was too high, guessing grass hadn't been cut for several days. A couple of times had trouble finding my ball less than 10 feet off the fairway/green. Did only pay $26 for twilight tee-time and round took less than 4 hours, so not all was bad. Doubt I'll be returning.

Greens need work
Your game can begin and end on the greens. If they are hairy and slow, forget about it. They need manicuring as well.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
the greens were a little rough, the tee boxes needed mowing and a lot of divets.

Beautiful and challenging
I’m a mediocre player I generally score between 115 and 135 so I did lose about a dozen balls 135 on this course however I enjoyed my day very much
Outstanding! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Inniscrone Golf Club.
Is there maintenance done on this course.
I have played this course on the past and it was in good shape. Today it was not. The greens had a lot on marks and dead areas. Not just ball marks not fixed. Some greens actually had divots. Tee boxes were below standard. Sand traps have not been worked on in some time. Fairways were nice. That is about all that I can say on a positive note. Surprised of the conditions. Maybe the maintenance crew was not allowed on due to the pandemic.

Rude staff and poor conditions
I have played at this course well over ten times, and unfortunately, the course has gotten worse over time. It is overgrown and scraggly. There are dead spots on a few of the greens. Normally, I would be able to overlook these negatives because it is a Gil Hanse design and the layout is somewhat interesting. But, increasingly poor conditions and a few negative experiences with employees have caused me to avoid the course entirely. I would strongly recommend driving a bit further and playing at Wyncote instead of here.

Amazing course!
From checking in to playing our round of golf all my friends were blown away. Best course I’ve played so far even after that thunderstorm. Each hole has its own unique flair with winding hills and open layout it pushed us to our limits. Great course to play!
Fantastic! 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 Track
Inniscrone is an awesome course. It has the best of both worlds. It’s has its tree lined holes and some are wide open. Played the tips at about 6600 and you use every club in the bag. The course is up and down and and even lie is difficult to come by. The lay out is awesome, so much fun. The only gripe I have is golfers don’t fix there marks on the greens but they still roll very nicely. Go play this course. The value is awesome and once you play it, you will def. be back!
Terrific! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Inniscrone Golf Club.

A few things slipping
Currently the worst COVID cup solution I've seen (played 10 different courses). Using a thin fountain soda lid, many are broke with sharp plastic edge where your ball goes in anyway. A bunch of greens are in uncharacteristically bad shape given the month or two the course was closed. Not terrible greens, just worse than any other decent course I've played.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Inniscrone Golf Club.
Pins
They need to keep the pins in without the White plastic blocking the cup. Most courses keep the cup open with a part of a Noodle cut to allow you to make the put and still pick up your ball without touching the pin. I’m happy that the pins are back so you know where to aim to the green.
This change would be great. Run it by Gov Wolf.
Terrific! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Inniscrone Golf Club. We appreciate your feedback on our cups and we hope to see you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Excellent test of golf
I have a love/hate relationship with this course. It's by far the toughest course in my rotation - on par with Glen Mills. You'll have a good round as long as you keep it in the short grass and position yourself well on certain holes. Some will complain about the rough or the bunkers being poorly maintained, but that's what gives this course its character - you're not supposed to hit into them! I recently saw a Youtube vid on an old match (1962) between Byron Nelson and Gene Littler at Pine Valley. No rakes and hazards everywhere. Dare I say that Inniscrone could be a public Pine Valley, especially when the greens are fast? Bring your A-game.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Inniscrone Golf Club.
Wonderful! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Inniscrone Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
lightning quick greens.
Fairways were in nice shape. Greens were extremely fast with debri on almost every green. That's a tough battle this time of year. My biggest complaint... no one repairs their ball marks.

Great Time
First time players! We really enjoyed the course layout. The golfer we were matched up with was a lot of fun. The course was in nice shape. Could have used a backpack blower on a few of the greens. Very enjoyable, we will be back.
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Inniscrone Golf Club. We're so glad you enjoyed your first time playing our course and we appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Pro shop
I tried calling to see if I could push my tee time back and no one answered I waited on the line for 30 mins at one point and never got refunded
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you weren't able to get a hold of us to move your tee time. Please reach out to us directly at your earliest convenience to further discuss the matter. Thank you!
Greens need attention
Course was in ok shape, but the greens need A LOT of attention. Good, efficient, safe setup given the covid concerns.
Thank you for your review! We're glad that you felt safe playing our course and that we had an efficient system in place to keep golfers safe. We're sorry to hear that our conditions didn't meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and hope you'll give us another try in the future.
Challenging
Very tough course for anyone newer to the game. 4 holes are cart path only all year round due to them being soggy all the time, very odd. With the covid situation they had raised cups which is fine but no flags. NO FLAGS?? Most of their greens are barely viewable from the tee shot And with no flags it was very difficult to know cup/green location when hitting. I don’t know why you would have no flags with a raised cup seems idiotic and redundant to me. Overall that was frustrating because we had never played there before and basically that blind into every green. Tight fairways and lots of woods. Long par 3s. Staff was amazing! The woman running the window was very friendly and informative. Course is very well maintained and price is great but just not a beginner course at all.
Awesome! We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. As of this week, we are using flush mounted cups with depressed cap and flag stick. We hope to have you back again soon. Thank you for playing Inniscrone Golf Club.
