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.

My son and I played this course during the week. The course is always in very good shape due to somewhat limited Play on the fourth hole inadvertently drove onto the fairway on a cartpath only hole. Ranger was very accommodating and we had a nice discussion about the course of the pace of play. Overall, it’s a very nice round of golf Just farther away than I would prefer

One seemingly simple "fix" would be to keep the ball washers filled/ready for use. Many are bone dry, remaining are obviously low. Course plays soft/muddy on many occasions.
Second would be to be more diligent on keeping divot "pitchers" on the cart full/more full; and encouraging their use to golfers

Thank Goodness the 'Scrone is a-round

With most of the area's public golf courses in Chester County taking full advantage of the pricing power they have enjoyed over the last two years it is great to have a municipally owned course that seeks to keep greens fees more reasonable. Tucked away just outside of "downtown" Avondale, the 'Scrone is a good value but could use some work.
Apparently the new superintendent, who came over from the former Loch Nairn, has been shocked to learn that his predecessor didn't believe in aerating greens. That seems to be an approach that few if any of his colleagues would take. Anyway, some tree removal is needed at #4, 10, and 17 to make them a bit less hostile to higher handicappers. Nevertheless, Inniscrone fills a definite need given the rising prices that I'm betting will be par for the course next season.

1st time playing

This is a unfound gem. Or should I say found gem, now. What a great course and is very challenging. The only non-5 star was the pace but that isn't the courses fault. Several folks got caught up behind 3 gentlemen who seem to be struggling quite a bit. I will never be one to complain about that since I'm only in my 2nd year of playing but I know when to just give up and move on to the next hole. I can't wait to play this track again. I will know better how to play each hole.

If the staff wants to provide me with a free round, I would be gladly to except LOL....

Much improved

My second time playing here this year and the course was in great shape. This is still a hard course for a high handicap golfer like me. The greens were in the best shape I have seen them. The course is still pretty wet in a lot of areas, and you really have to place the ball in the right spots to score well. There was no crowd at all and we played the back nine seemingly by ourselves.

Wet

We played at noon after a week where there was minimal rain.
The course was notably soggy/wet/borderline unplayable in many low spots on the course.
Of course golf courses need watering, it seemed this day that they were over-watered significantly.

A challenging course for any level player

Well groomed course at a reasonable price. All aspects of your game will be tested here. From the long length of the holes to the strategically placed obstacles to the at time’s extremely undulating greens, your A game is a must to score well here

Great track.

Quality layout in really good shape. Surprisingly soft fairways and greens. We figured they were anticipating the heat. No role. Everything else locally hard and fast.

We got a deal through golf now. Value was awesome. 12 minute tee times, no issues with pace.

Such a good layout. Deceivingly long. Lots of elevation changes.

Challenging but excellent course

Had a great day; cool for August, threat of rain never materialized, though rain prior left conditions soft and a bit wet in spots. This is a fascinating course with a wide variety of holes, ranging from near links-style to narrow and tree-lined. Some par fours play very long, others not at all; quite a few "carry" shots and some are blind. But a very interesting layout. I had not been here in years, but with the elevation in Gil Hanse's reputation, I wanted to try it again. Glad I did, and I will come back.

I said first time playing because it's been about 15 years since I played. Fun, challenging course in great shape. Enjoyed the conversation with the starter and the tips he provided. Soft, fast greens were awesome.
