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.

Great value, good track

With a driving range and large putting green, Inniscrone offers golfers the opportunity to sharpen up their shots before hitting a round. I was able to play 18 with a good pace until the back 9, when groups that decided to stop at the break for food or other reasons created a bit of a traffic jam on the 10th tee. As a solo golfer, I had no problems passing the foursome ahead of me, though, and was actually able to play the front 9 again in less than an hour as sundown approached. It is a well-designed course and in fair condition for winter golf. The fairways are undulated with a lot of elevation changes, which makes for some interesting approach shots. My cart's divot filler was empty, and that seems to be a common theme - lots of divots on the tee boxes and fairways. The greens roll true and you'll have to play the break on a few holes - don't underread your putts at Inniscrone!

My one complaint would be with the scent around the 15th tee box. I only noticed it during that one hole, but the smell was mentioned in another review and it is not pleasant. There is likely nothing the course can do about it, and it is not overwhelming, but an unfortunate thing nonetheless. Outside of that, if you can get a tee time on a Hot Deal, it's definitely worth a trip!

Disappointing experience!

My sons and I decided to play golf on Monday, Jan. 2, 2023 largely because of the very mild weather. We further decided to play golf at a course that was located about halfway between us. We selected Inniscronne golf club in Avondale, PA largely because of tee time availability, round cost, and recent positive GolfNow reviews. It turns out the first two discriminators were accurate. The last was not!

Inniscrone golf club was once private owned/operated. The course was originally designed by golf course architect Gil Hanse in 1998. Apparently, the course was rated very well by Golf Week back in 2001 as one of the "Top 100 Golf Courses in America". The private club charged up to $50,000 for club membership at that time. Unbelievable! That was a long time ago in golf years and times have certainly changed; not for the better for Inniscrone golf club (see below). Inniscrone golf club is currently owned by London Grove Township and has been operated by the Heathland Hospitality Group; a Food and Beverage consultant; since 2011. Healthland’s core business portfolio does not include managing other golf clubs/courses.

Upon arrival to the course, players have to “fetch” their own golf cart from the cart barn. We had to reselect a cart after finding the first cart had a flat tire. Not starting well.

Check-in was quick and easy. We had prior purchased online a GolfNow “hot deal” round of golf.

There are 5 levels of play. The overall strokes par for the course is 70 due to two less par 5’s. The course is generally quite wide on most holes with just a few narrow and challenging holes. Pace of play was good largely due to the 15 minute separation of tee times.

We experienced several significant problems during our round that were either nature’s fault or the fault of Inniscrone Maintenance. First, the course was VERY VERY wet due to some rain the day prior. The significantly wet tee boxes, fairways, and greens made for poor play. This course does not drain well compared to other golf courses. Several of the holes are permanently marked “cart path only” due to the poor drainage. Second, we noticed the smell of sewer gas at various locations around the course. We suspect underground sewer piping and sewer vent stations from nearby housing located around the perimeter of the entire course may be the cause for the bad smell. Third; and most importantly; the greens bunkers and greens were in very poor condition. The greens bunkers had not been power raked for some time and were hard pan in places. Many of the greens were littered with tree limbs and leaves debris which should have been removed early in the morning by Maintenance. Even worse were the green’s surfaces. The greens were not recently cut and rolled as they should have been by Maintenance. The greens were EXTREMELY soft and spongy. This doesn’t just happen after rain; rather due to lack of routinely rolling. As such, putting on the greens was like putting on shag carpeting. Putted ball roll was hoppy, often short, and not true by direction. We frequently three-putted. Absolutely terrible!

Many of course’s original bunkers no longer have any sand. Rather, these sand vacated bunkers are now filled in with grass/hard pan mix. Very poor conditions for control chipping onto the green!

Cart access to the par 3 Hole #5 green is worrisome and not safe. The asphalt cart path leading down the steep incline to the green is partially covered in wet green moss. Our cart spun nearly 180 degrees around as we slid down the cart path. Fortunately, we were able to halt the sliding cart after a 10 ft. slide. The moss should be removed asap before a serious cart injury occurs.

There may have been only three employees in total working during our entire round of play. The check-in person, the snack bar person, and the cart attendant. Labor cost savings were in-place.

Lastly, judging the current “dated” condition of the once nicely appointed clubhouse interior and exterior, little money is being spent by London Grove Township on maintenance and beautification of the clubhouse. The large clubhouse is now only utilized to provide bathrooms use and a small snack bar. This is unfortunate and a bit depressing.

In summary, we can’t recommend Inniscrone golf club at this time. We recommend you play elsewhere for a better round of golf; even if that requires you drive 30 - 60 minutes to another golf course in the PA/DE/NJ area. Don't take the risk playing Inniscrone golf club as you will likely regret your decision. We certainly did.

The reason you smelled sewage is because the treatment plant for the development is below and left of the clubhouse, thanks for the lengthy explanation of the present ownership and management, last time we played there which was years ago, experienced similar issues, unfortunate that the course hasn't improved, perhaps one day the course will be sold to a group who will actually maintain it the way it is supposed to be.

Inniscrone golf club——Serious decline from yesteryear!

Great course. Better have your A game.

The course layout makes it difficult to drive the ball if you are at all off, but fair. The back 9 is a beast! I can’t wait to play the course in warmer weather.
