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 course. Great value
This course is a little far from Philadelphia, but a phenomenal course. Very challenging and interesting design. There are no gimmies. Phenomenal afternoon value as well (hot dog, chips, and drink included). Would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants a challenge.
Great course
I played this course for the first time and already can't wait to go back.
Hi Mark! So glad you loved the course Inniscrone Golf Club we can't wait to see you back on your next round.
A disappointing day
I played on Sunday (8-23) with my 2 best friends & my brother, & after raving to them what a great course it was, I shot myself in the foot. When I played it last year it was in excellent shape. But not so much this time. It appears that no one repairs their divots, nor does the course. Some of the fairways were terrible. The greens were good for the most part, but slower than expected.
They need to close down & let the course heal.
Thanks so much for taking the time to review our course Inniscrone Golf Club, we are glad you came out for a rounds with your friends and family! We hear you on the divots we are making efforts to rectify the situation and have the course in pristine condition for your next round here at Inniscrone. We hope to see you back again. Please message us so we can sort something out for you:

Great course, great price!
This course is a hidden gem. The course and the staff are top notch here and will not disappoint. The only critique I would add is the ball marks on the greens were less than desirable but overall not half as bad as some of the other courses in the area. I will definitely be coming back in the very near future.
Hi Robert, we appreciate your feedback and thank you for playing Inniscrone Golf Club! We're thrilled to hear that you consider the course and staff to be top notch - we think so too! Come back and play us soon,
Club Pro, hardly a Pro!
Excellent Course, Nice Practice Facility for a public course. Very cool layout, very challenging from the tips. Zero management skills, Pace of play was awful and there was no Ranger or Starter. Do not play this course on a busy day!
Thanks so much for playing Inniscrone Golf Club! We are happy to hear you loved the course and practice facility and it presented an interesting challenge. We hope to see you again soon on your next round!
over rated golf course
We were paired with two guys although we had expected to play as a twosome. The pace was slow, very slow! This course is mediocre at best. We were extremely surprised having travelled over an hour expecting a great golf course only to be confronted by a ridiculously laid out golf course with patching greens, poor fairways, hidden holes, unmarked and no provision for maps or hazard markers. It was a big joke! You can play just about any course in Lancaster County and have a much better experience at a much cheaper price. We can check this one off our list!
Thank you for trying out Inniscrone Golf Club, we are sorry to hear the pace of play did not meet your expectations and you were not impressed by the course itself - let us know what we can do to make it a better round next time. We do hope you return for another round at Inniscrone Golf Club!
Challenging but fun
Second time playing Inniscrone, played green tees first and played gold the second time. The distances off the tee make club selection very important. Greens are a little marked up but the conditions were a little wet so ball marks are going to happen but I would play this course more frequently than I have. Really friendly staff and great price, if you live in south eastern PA or the surrounding areas this is a must play.
Awesome! Thank you so much for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club and taking the time to review our course. We are glad it was fun and challenging. Come back and play again soon!
Slow round
This place seems to have dropped off a bit. Pace of play was atrocious (perhaps due to the lack of starter and/or ranger). After 3 and half hours we drove in after finishing 12 holes. Stopped on the way in to play 3 of the holes after jumping the clog of twosomes that weren't playing well or fast nor letting anyone through. Ball marks are a serious problem here. It appears that no one fixes them. Putting is like playing plinko. Two stars because it's a decent layout and it only cost 28$ at 3 on a Saturday.
Hi there, we appreciate your feedback on your round at Inniscrone Golf Club. We hear you, the pace of play was not ideal on your round and we apologize for that. We have informed our staff and will rectify the situation, as well as the improvements on the greens. Come back and see all the improvements we have made!
Good Course to Play
Inniscrone is known for being a challenging course with difficult greens. I found the course was great but the greens were poor at best. The greens were bumpy, torn up from recent outings and a lot slower than the practice green (which was excellent). I'm sure this is something that can be fixed but I was pretty disappointed.
Hi Don, thanks for taking the time to review Inniscrone Golf Club. We appreciate the feedback and glad you liked the course. We hear you on the conditions of the greens and have made improvements since, please come back and see how great our conditions are on the greens! We hope to see you again soon.
Fix a ball mark
The course was great as always, and for a weekend afternoon, the pace of play was good.
The track, and difficulty of the greens make this course one of my favorites on the area.
The greens were in pretty marked up though- not as a result of neglect from grounds crews- but neglect from players. Folks, please do your part, and more in maintaining the quality of the course, and your round.
Hi there thank you for your review and your feedback on Inniscrone Golf Club, glad you made it out for your round. We will be relentless in helping to fix all ball marks and divots day after day, but yes we appreciate everyone doing their part. We really love our fans so please come out and keep enjoying our course, Inniscrone Golf Club!
Not worth the money,
Played multiple courses in the area and this was the worst course conditions I've have seen. It also happens to be the most expensive for standard rates. Off the tee almost half the holes you have to hit at least a 200+ yard shot to get over tall dense marsh like areas before you even hit the rough. I can easily hit 250+ however my father can not. No drop zones between the box and the marsh so if you can't hit a long ball don't bother. Fairways were average in size but very soft and thus many chunks missing. Carts did not have sod or sand to help patch iron shots. Greens were the worst I have ever played on. Divots were everywhere. I understand there being some from previous inconsiderate players that day but almost all the greens were covered in them. Also green were so packed down and hard that even spikes on shoes were leaving marks and making the ball bounce and take different paths when putting. Also made greens extremely fast.
Hi Rob, we're glad you took the time to review Inniscone Golf Club, thank you for leaving your feedback.

"Fairways and Greens" best
Played on a hot and muggy day in early July. The course is not really long (play proper tees for your game), but the rough can be long and the lies are often sloped, so stay in the center if possible, even if it means more caution. Greens have some bad spots and are pretty tricky in many cases. Our weekday morning round took over 4 hours, which is a little long, but pace may have been due to looking for balls in the rough more than anything else. Large price variations, so look for the best deal for you. Gender is male, not female!!
Hi there thanks for leaving your feedback and for playing at Inniscrone Golf Club. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your round and, yes, look out for some tricky holes at this course. We have it designed for a real but fun challenge, unlike any other course around. If you're looking for something different - a real test of skill and strategy, come out to Inniscrone, we can't wait to see you!
Quirky but fun
A lot of odd holes, blind shots and tucked in pin placements. From fairway to green it was fair but not great for scoring low. Greens had just been cut and 2 putts felt like 1 putts
Awesome! Hi Michael thanks so much for taking the time to review Inniscrone Golf Club. We're glad you found the course a challenge, we hope you continue to come out and practice to improve that score! See you again on your next visit.
Great Layout, Worth The Trip
This is one of those kind of courses you want to put on your list of must play. You can see why it was in the Top 100 modern designs.
It does play longer than it says on the card. If you are a shorter hitter I recommend 'teeing it forward' to enjoy the round. There are generous fairways but positioning is important for your next shot. The traps are massive and deep .... what you think may be a short shot greenside becomes a much longer skill shot.
The club staff was awesome and very welcoming. It's a bit out of the way in the corner of southeast PA but very much worth the ride.
Hi Jonathan thanks for taking the time to review Inniscrone Golf Club! We're glad you found the course to be fun and challenging, especially the traps! We can't wait to see you again for your next round.
The course plays difficult
The course plays longer than the yardage shows on the card.
If you want to enjoy this course play up
Hi Joe, thank you for taking the time to review. We are happy you came out to experience Inniscrone Golf Club. We hope to see you again and glad you found the course challenging.
Bring your A game
Great playing course if you like a tougher course and want to push yourself to be better
Great suggestion thank you for the note about Inniscrone GC we are glad you found it a challenge. See you again!
First Time Played
Course knowledge is necessary on this course. If its your first time playing I highly recommend having a mobile app to help assist in layout. Very tricky course with a lot of angled fairways and meticulous shots required. Shorter but more challenging of the courses I've played recently.
Thanks for coming out to experience Inniscrone GC we are glad you found the course to be a challenge. The mobile app will definitely be useful for some of our first time players, great suggestion! See you again next time!
much to like here
Inniscrone is a course that tests every club in the bag.. I've played here over the past few years and its one of the best values around.. The only thing holding it back from a 5 star rating from me, is that the tee boxes are chewed up on a few holes and the greens have some ball marks in them. Its a shame that on such nice greens people do not care to fix their marks.. You must keep your ball below the hole on approaches at this course as there are some real big slopes in a few greens. If you can make par at holes 4, 6, 12 and 17...you are almost tour ready... Those are some of the toughest par 4s that exist anywhere.. I will play here a few more times this year for sure..
Hi and thank you for playing at Inniscrone GC we are glad you found our course challenging at some of our holes. We have informed our staff and team here regarding tee boxes to ensure they are up to par for your next round. See you the next time around!
Great Fun
Very much enjoyed my round, the front nine is a more open less challenging layout than the back side. The greens were rolling very true and not too fast. The tee boxes need some work, but over all a good course that makes you use all your clubs.
Hi, we're so glad you gfound the front nine to be challenging, great way to get your skills honed. We appreciate you taking the time to review and we're glad you enjoyed your round at Inniscrone GC!
excellent daily fee, great value
Very good design, great condition, challenging. They couldnt retain the membership to stay private, and that is to our benefit. It is definitely out of the way, and there are other excellent courses nearby, wyncote,broad run, glen mills, etc. It would be a must play if closer to phila but for what it is, particularly with promotional offers, there is not a better value in the area. Worth the hour plus drive for me on a weekend. You will not be disappointed but dont try getting here during rush hours.
Hello and thank you for taking the time to review Inniscrone GC! We are glad you saw good value and thanks for making the drive out. We are glad you found the course challenging. See you on your next round!
