Good condition course as Ever

Playing really well even in December so we'll done to all green keeping staff. Fairways as good as ever but unfortunately due to some people not repairing, the greens had too many divot and uneven in places. Will play the course regularly especially when there's more daylight. Well done Ilford gc.

Good and bad

The access path to the course was horribly rutted and muddy. Something quite easy to fix so people can actually get onto the course. The layout is awful, in my opinion. Too many crossing holes and excess walking. Having to walk 150-200 yards to get from green to next tee, walking through other fairways on nearly on the greens and crossing over a massive hill/river really detract from the experience. I have never seen a flag that’s 15ft tall, which you still couldn’t see from the fairway trying to cross the hill/river again. I can imagine that this course is probably in great condition in the summer but the grass hasn’t been cut for a while along the edges and normally easy to find balls that might have been in the second cut were lost or in leaves. Unfortunately, given their summer pricing I won’t be back. The value just isn’t there when comparing other offerings in the region.

It’s ok for a cheap and cheerful round

Have played ilford a few times in the past. Layout is very confusing and bizarre, but but no means hinders the experience.

My issue is that they seemed to have spent a lot of money on the new clubhouse (which is a welcome addition to be fair), but definitely seems like the course could benefit from a bit of investment. Greens were very poor, and for the short length and quality of the greens keeping, I think you could get much better value for money at other courses nearby

Good course bad weather

The course was decent and staff friendly. Really the conditions were down to a lot of wet weather so very boggy under foot. I’m sure I will get another round in when the weather’s a bit dryer.

First and Last

As title suggests and the ratings given. I for one will not be going back nor booking a round at ilford again.

Poor course layout, poor hole layout, poor signage of holes, greens and tee boxes too close to each other and continually had to wait for group in front of us teeing off from next hole and then walking along out fairway which slowed down pace of play and caused a knock on effect. No staff to be found, no bar or changing facilities and the still charge £30 per round. Wow......... I wish Ilford golf club well.

April

Fairways in decent condition and the greens running true. Pace of play was excellent 3 ball got round in 3 hours 15. Course is very narrow and unforgiving keep the irons warm. No pro shop which is understandable during pandemic.
