Inniscrone Golf Club

Grabbed the 7:30AM tee time with my buddy and were paired up with a husband and wife (told the course was booked). The couple ended up being awesome and we had a great time.

Let's get the negatives out of the way. First, they put TWO two somes off behind us. We also had a twosome put out in front of us. As a foursome we were on the 3rd tee and the twosome was putting on the 3rd green and we kept that pace for the entire front 9. By 10 tee we run in for some beverages and the first twosome behind us is waiting. Meanwhile the two some in front of us is still on the 10th gree. We played the front 9 in under two hours and have this issue. By 12 tee the first twosome behind us just skips a hole, only to run in to the two some in front of us. By 13 green the other two some behind us does the same thing and what do they have to do? Wait on 14 tee for the other two twosomes. At this point I said something to the second twosome and they replied, "we are just a twosome." I told them that I could count and then our foursome proceeded to wait on 3 twosomes from 14 until we had some issues on 17 and were able to play 18 in peace.

That right there is a management issue and a prime example of what happens when you do not hold people to a tee time and just allow the group to hit their first tee shot immediately after the group hits their approach on #1. It was pitiful and we played in under four hours. We walked off of 18 at 11:15am only to be frustrated by the problems from 14-17.

Now onto the positives. #1 they have brand new carts and they are equipped with USB ports on both the driver and passenger side. That is HUGE! Very pleased, but they are kind of hidden and we did not notice until the 9th tee.

Course was in decent shape, they did not mow the greens on a Friday morning which was really frustrating. They were slow and not like how I remember Inniscrone from the early 2000's.

The beverage selection was pretty solid and they gave us a mini cooler loaded with ice.

For $35.99 I do not think you can beat the value, but I'm sure pace of play is an issue if you are not one of the very first groups off.

First time I played this course. Wanted to get something early on Saturday and I had a 715 tee time. Of course pace was good at this time. It is a middle of the road course. Very hilly so you get some tough lies above and below your feet but that can be challenging and fun once in a while. Course was it good shape staff was ok.

Inniscrone is one of Gil Hanse's first solo designs (Google Gil). Inniscrone opened as a private club but is now opperates as a daily fee. Classic, minimalist strategic design inspired by achitects of the "golden age" (pre 1930). Rugged bunkering and challenging putting surfaces. Some holes play short to small targets, others play long and wide. One or two holes need a "do over" but I suspect environmental restrictions/budgets led to these design interruptions. Inniscrone boasts new carts and refreshed management. Course conditions, while green, are not up to par with the shot values. For the money, it's hard to find a better track for those who embrace a challenge.

Inniscrone challenges all parts of your game. The course starts off with short finesse holes and holes 6-9 requires real power. The rough was brutally tough and high on this day due to all the rain we've had. Driving the ball accurately is the biggest key on this course. If you do not hit it straight you'll have a very difficult round. For the value there is no better in the area than Inniscrone. Wish people would treat it better and repair their ball marks. Just because you don't pay premium prices to play here does not mean its not worthy of keeping it pristine like it should be.

I think they don''t like golf now hot deal customer?

Nice course very challenging layout, very slow play probably because of the difficulty

Course was not in usual condition, that I was used to seeing it in tee boxes and greens and rough could use some work.. what happened!!

Good course for the price. Each hole is private and scenic. Only negative was that the traps were unraked and hard.

Great course, very good conditions, friendly staff and a great value!

Worth the drive and the money! The course was really nice. I didn’t play well, but was really happy with the conditions. Greens played true. Fair way and first cut were well maintained. Well worth the hour drive.

The pace of play demanded was unrealistic! We were continually harassed by the ranger starting at the 3rd hole. We were even harassed by the food lady at the turn!!!! We finished the round in 4 hours and 15 minutes and were told we were 3 holes behind!!! Horrible experience!!! I've never been harassed like that at a golf course. EVERYONE was rude!! My friends and I will never go back and we're telling everyone we know to stay away from that place. They overbooked on a nice day and expect you to rush through your round. Did I mention it was a horrible experience?!?!?!?

Can't get any better than this. First beautiful day of the year. Mid 70's all sun. Tee'd off at 8am got done around 11:30. Course was in perfect condition. Also played really well.

Very hard for a high handycapper To many stupid holes to make up for the good holes 16 and 17 are the worst If you go, go with an open mind
