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
Very good overall
Tee boxes, fairways, design, trickiest all very good.
Condition of greens needs attention
Too many blind shots & uneven terrain
I like a challenge but the challenges never ended and got to be too much.
Course design
I thought the course design was excellent. The greens were rolling very well, fairways were manicured nicely and the tee boxes were Maintained nicely. Overall this course is a must play for a public course
Ambivalent about Inniscrone
I think Inniscrone is a lot of golf for the money, but I still do not really care for the layout. The property is beautiful and quite sloping, and while some of the holes are quite good, some, including 4,5, 9 and 10 are just strange. The course was in decent shape and the round was brisk. The staff is competent and friendly. The tee times are nicely spaced and the course never seems crowded.
Good and less good
I have mixed feelings about Inniscrone. I always say after I play it that it was a lot of course for the money, and it is, but that doesn’t mean I love the layout. To say it is quirky does not do it justice. Hole numbers 4, 9, 10, and 16 are just weird. There is a lot of elevation change over 18 holes. Having said that, one man’s quirky is another man’s fun, so go and experience for yourself. Course was in good shape, everyone who works there is nice as well as competent. They have a small driving range, and a limited menu of grab and go items (think hot dogs) if you want something at the turn. The tee times are nicely spaced, and the course is not inundated with houses, so the rolling scenery is lovely.
Mostly good
Nice greens, fairways and rough.
The tee boxes are not good, can never find a flat spot and very little grass.
Great day
Layout of the course is great. From tee to green, the course was in amazing shape. I may be a little biased because I shot an 82. The 3 guys in my group didn’t have as good of a day with their scores. Had a lot of asterisks next to their score on the card.
Road work!
Couldn’t get there due to roadwork blocking the way
This course has some very challenging holes.
I had to leave after 9 holes for a medical emergency of my girlfriend. Had trouble breathing. Very tough course to play but enjoyable. I loved the layout.
A little bit of everything
I've been rushing back to Inniscrone as often as I can since I first played here on July 4th. The layout is stunning, and quite challenging.
But if you can find the center of the plateau fairways and find a way to read the greens, it's certainly possible to shoot well. Par 70, and 6,450yds from the Gold tees. 6,700 from the Black.
Unfortunately in early August they were ravaged by storms, flash flooding, wind which downed several trees around the property. I played it shortly after and looking back, I'm absolutely amazed they were even able to open and be playable. There were trees everywhere around the county.
A month after I went back (09/16) and it was back to being in beautiful shape. Can't wait til it's flawless again! It's a MUST.
Tale of Two Courses
The front nine has generous fairways with interesting terrain challenges. The back nine has much tighter fairways, long carry holes and plenty of opportunities to go to your bag for another ball.
