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
Challenging course, great staff
Interesting and beautiful course. Course in great shape. Staff very friendly and helpful. Saved lost ball on 10th with recommended tee shot. Club house was fully stocked (beer, liquor, food) which was great for this time of year when most 19th holes have not opened yet. Should get interesting when reeds / grasses grow in during season. Definite must play.
Good course overall. A few tricky holes.
Hard to evaluate due to course still dormant from winter, but overall in good shape.
Would play it again.
Great to hear! Thanks so much for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club. We hope to see you once season kicks in. Pretty warm out already though! Glad you liked the conditions. See you again soon.
End of Year Great Round
For December 30, the round was great. Course wet,
but Inniscrone drains well and the greens were as presentable as could be expected. A great layout, becoming more inviting for the average player every year. Even with all the rain, only 3 holes cart path only.
Great! Thank you for playing Inniscrone Golf Club especially in the winter season. We appreciate your feedback and we are happy to hear you enjoyed your round. We can't wait to see you on your next round!
Better condition now... I think
need straight shots, forced carries, tough course but fun
Glad you loved the challenge! We hope to see you again at Inniscrone. Keep on swinging away!
Some years after the Exelon
Inniscrone probably came online about the same time as Hartefeld National. Both were intended to be private clubs but there seems not to be the population density in the immediate area that would be required to support two private clubs so Inniscrone opened up for public players. This is a fortunate piece of real estate for golf design. The designer, Hanse, is talented and will be featured as the designer of the next Olympic course. There is a nice variety of golf holes including short one-shot propositions like number five and longer par holes 3 like the eighth. Similarly, there are good, short fours (number three for example) and excellent long 4s (like 9, 12 and 17). The par 5s are pretty, sweeping affairs and I like the medial bunker off 15 tee in particular. I also like how they kept the course mostly clear of distractions like housing and traffic. Even the parking lot is remote, though convenient since players pick up their carts (or they are transported by cart from the parking area. If this review appears twice, I apologize but my initial attempt seemed to drift away.
Hi Mark, thank you so much for taking the time to write this insightful review. We do appreciate it and your feedback is important to us. We're happy to hear you enjoy the course and know a lot about it too! We love our fans. Come back and see us more often!
Wear Blaze Orange
There is active hunting from the beginning of the 14th hole to the end of the 16th hole during hunting season. This includes both archery and rifle.
I would recommend not wearing anything brown and white. Don't know if the township and the course allows it or if its just poachers. The course itself is fantastic and a true gem in Chester County Pa.
Thank you for leaving your review on our course Inniscrone Golf Club. We'll have to check on that situation and get back to you. Thank you for letting us know and glad you love the course. We hope to see you back again soon!
Great fall golf day!
Had a great time playing here on a beautiful November day. What more could we want? Pace of play was more than excellent.....no one in front of us and no one pushing us from behind the whole time. The staff did a great job keeping leaves off the fairway. We didn't have to use the "leaf rule" at all. The par 3 4th hole is still one of my only negatives to this course. It's too short to really take a full swing at with even a lob wedge! They should move the tee back and make it more challenging somehow. It was my 3rd time playing the course this year and conditions were great. Greens are always tough here, but fair! Will definitely be playing again here next year.....or even this year again if the weather stays warm.
Awesome thanks for the feedback! We're so glad you found good challenge here at Inniscrone Golf Club and pace of play and conditions were on par. We appreciate the review and will consider the pin placement on the 4th. Come back and see us!
Confusing layout
Too many tee boxes. Usually 3 on each hole. They are not clearly marked. Get rid of the wooden markets. And way too many leaves all over fairways and greens.
Fall is not a good time to play this course.
Way to many trees. Cant find your ball even in the fairways.
Thanks for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club! We appreciate your feedback on the course. Yes, we have tons of foliage here at the course. We will audit the markers and tee boxes to make them more visible thanks for pointing that out!
Awesome
My foursome and had a great time enjoyed our play at this course
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you back at Inniscrone Golf Club!
So much potential
Located in the rolling hills of southern PA. This course has so much character. It has seen better days, but the basic beauty and potential is still there. The tees and traps were a bit rough, but the fairways and greens were great. One of the staff in the pro shop was a bit cranky, but his counterpart went out of her way to try and counteract his attitude. Will definitely play this course again, but earlier in the year, when the weather is better.
Thank you for leaving your review on Inniscrone Golf Club. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the fairway and greens conditions. We are working hard daily to make this the best Inniscrone possible. Thank you and come back soon, especially when the weather improves!
Great value
Location is a bit out of the way for me from Philadelphia, but I will go back. The course is challenging, plenty of hills and valleys. Greens and fairways are well maintained. I would definitely recommend, great value for the price.
Thanks for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club and for coming back to play another round! Our location makes us a bit more remote for your enjoyment. We're so happy you saw great value in playing here!
Very Interesting Course
Holes are quite varied with large undulating traps
and difficult greens. Holes 16 and 17 have been changed since I played last making them much better. Hole 18 requires a 180 yard drive to carry the waste area.
Thanks for your review! We appreciate the feedback on Inniscrone Golf Club. We are happy to hear the course presented a goof challenge. Great tips for new golfers!
Good course. Some tricky holes.
Overall good public course. An hour from Philly, which is a little too far for me to play on a regular basis. Some tricky fairways and putting greens. The fairway past the rough on the 18th is farther than it appears. You need a straight and far tee off in order to play it!
Great! Thanks so much for leaving your tip for our newer golfers at Inniscrone, we appreciate the feedback too. Anytime you're looking for a little escape from the city come and see us we look forward to seeing you at the course!
Worth the trip
Drove from philly. About an hour. Fairways a little patchy. Greens were nice although the Monday pin placements were not for the faint of heart. One of the few places I've been where all the staff members seemed genuinely nice. But I guess that's how people are outside of philly.
Hi Nathan thanks for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club! We are so happy you chose to drive out and experience our course, we are happy to hear it was worth the trip and you enjoyed the experience. We look forward to seeing you again!
This course had many challenging holes.
I enjoyed this course very much. Course played longer than expected with a few forced carry.
Thank you for leaving your review and playing at Inniscrone Golf Club! We are so glad you enjoyed your round and the course. Hope to see you again real soon!
Inniscrone Review
Very tough course. rough is very high. very easy to lose balls. greens were also pretty slow
Thanks for leaving your review, your feedback is appreciated on Inniscrone Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you and will audit the course to ensure the conditions surpass your expectations. Come back and see us soon!
Fun and Challenging Layout
Course was in very good condition, despite the recent bout of dry weather. Saw a few bare spots here and there, but none of those were really in positions a player should be in. Greens were in excellent shape. Four sets of men's tees gives you an option to play up on certain holes to avoid carries. Some nice par 5's that required three shots to reach the green. Looking forward to a return trip.
Awesome! Thank you for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round and the course conditions. See you on your return visit!
Inniscone review
Good track the greens could be a little faster but nice layout. If the course was in its peak condition would be a must play
We are happy you came out to play Inniscrone Golf Club! We appreciate your feedback and will have our staff and crews audit and the conditions. We are working towards the best Inniscrone GC every day! Come back and see us again soon.
Wongerful course
I played 18 hole with my oldest son(25) and we had a great time.The course was in very good shape and the staff was great...Although there wasnt a 19th hole they did have draft and can beer at reasonable prices..Our greens fee through golfnow were only $21.00 for a 7.:30am tee time...I would recommend this course to my friends and we will be playing there more offen..
Thanks so much for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed the course and the value was on point. We can't wait to see you again soon!
What Happened????????
I played here last October with a different partner and raved about the condition of this course,so much so that I invited another friend of mine to play here. I don't know what happened to this course but the rough was at least 6 inches high on the front nine,the tee boxes were soft and quite torn up.I was embarrassed because I told my partner just how nice it was when I last played here.We lost 5 balls within the 1st 2 holes.We did find one but it was only because we stepped on it otherwise we would have lost 6. It was better on the back nine and we did see some grounds people working. I hope that they get their act together because we had fought early morning rush hour( about 2 hours driving time for each of us) just to play the gem that had been implanted in my mind. I'll give the course another chance but ,it won't be until at least mid October once the grass growing season subsides. There are lots of courses in much better condition nearby and in N.J. and within a 50 mile radius of Phila.
Thank you so much for playing Inniscrone Golf Club and taking the time to review our course. We are so sorry to hear your experience was not up to par and did not meet the expectation or what you experienced last October. We have informed our staff and our crews and are working every day to make this the best Inniscrone possible! Please reach out so we can sort something out for you:
