Ilford Golf Club
Played On 09/07/2020Tough little course, nobody home.
Pros
- Fairly tidy little course
- Good for people who want to push their pacing and driving accuracy
- Fairly short walks between holes
- Cheap
- Beautiful tame foxes everywhere
- Extremely capable greenkeeper looking after the course keeping sand raked and greens/fairways tidy
Cons
- Clubhouse not open untile weekends and nobody to greet you (make sure you bring drinks and snacks!)
- Poor signage
- Many crossing fairways
- Brutally close fairways, felt like I was at risk of hitting others at several points (I'm not the best driver) so had to give people plenty of space but being so fast paced you can't wait around for long
- Couple of blind holes
- Only championship and red tees (was told it's no big deal but I'm not the best driver)
Overall a nice little course. Maybe not for people of my skill level dude to pressures of people getting behind you, constant crossing or parallel fairways. No access to shop or clubhouse during week which isn't explained on their website or Facebook (don't try and call them). Turned up and it looked closed. If you're a decent player this is a cheap and interesting course recommended for quieter days such as weekday evenings. Would like to return on the weekend and see what the club is like when it's a bit more alive but expect to be too pressured for a player like me.
