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
Real challenge
Shot placement very important. Lots of hills and challenging greens. I would recommend this course but hopefully you won’t have a fivesome playing in front of you. That’s right, 5 players. They were a hole and a half in front of our teeing off but we caught them by the 9th hole and they held us up every hole on the back nine. If that ever happens again on this course, I won’t be back.
Staff Moved My Tee Time
My tee time was scheduled for 10:50 am. When I arrived, I was told by Amy that she had moved my tee time to 11:20 in order to accommodate a threesome that did not want a 4th. She said she was trying to accommodate everyone - obviously she did not accommodate me.
First game of the season
The weather fianally broke so I found the first good hot deal I could find. Ive played Inniscrone before, its a favorite of mine. Even for Febuary the course played well, some parts were muddy and soupy but thats to be expected. Prime season time the course played great on all aspects, the greens tho which are hard to read and usually play fast played like velcro. So if you are playing here anytime soon, put a little elbow greese on your putts.
Great First Round of The Year
Anytime you can play golf during February in Pennsylvania is great, especially this winter! The Inniscrone course drains pretty well, which is why I chose to play there this week. Even with all the rain we had during February, I was not disappointed. The staff is dedicated to making the experience at Inniscrone as pleasant as possible. Jesse and the rest of the staff are always appreciative of having you come out and play.
Challenging layout
Good shape, will be much better in the Spring. No two holes the same, rolling hills.Use every club.
Excellent condition even in winter
The golf course is well maintained and staff are helpful and supportive. A hidden gem of PA
Course is in poor condition
I've read some of the 4 and 5 star reviews and can only say OMG! They did not play the same course i played. Back 9 is poorly designed esp. holes 10, 16 and 17. Trees need to be removed. The fairways on 10 and 18 are always so wet that the ball plugs do to the pond leaking. Maintenance is poor, as the bunkers have not been touched in weeks, tee boxes need repair, the trees are over growing the tee boxes. This used to be a very well conditioned and maintained course...needs TLC from ownership.
Got a great deal with my golfnow coupons and it was a beautiful day in November! Greeted at the car with a golf cart and was told the course was busy because of the nice weather so had to pair up with another twosome on the first tee
Guys were great though and we all had a great round! Definitely a tough layout on some holes and I shoot around 90 but I liked it! Course was a little wet, which I can see happening a lot so avoid it after rain, otherwise you can't beat it for the price
Just go to have fun, some holes that can lead to a good score and others that demand good balls, overall fantastic
Forget the back nine
Have played this course several times this year, as the greens fees are always attractive and it's close in proximity to where I live. The staff is generally friendly and the course is usually well maintained. Regarding the course conditions, the greens often play slower and spongier than most other public courses, so there are many foot prints and indentations. The fairways and rough are nice and play fair.
Most importantly, I've found the front nine is always a good experience; it's design is straighr forward, open on several holes, and it's not quirky. However, the back 9 is just the opposite. At the end of each round, i pause to think that the back nine keeps me from wanting to ever return again. If you're a first timer to this course, you will leave very frustrated, epecislly with holes 10, 16, and 17. These are very poorly designed; frankly, 3 of the worst holes found in a 50 mile radius on any public course. Just beware, the back nine can quickly turn a good front nine performance to a terrible overall finish.
