Inniscrone Golf Club

Overview: Inniscrone is an 18-hole Gil Hanse design in Avondale, Pennsylvania, on the rolling ground of southern Chester County. The par-70 course measures 6,630 yards and uses significant elevation changes, high grasses and extensive bunkering to create a demanding, strategic round. Hanse’s routing follows the property rather than flattening it into a conventional subdivision course, so uphill and downhill shots are part of its identity. Originally conceived as a private club, Inniscrone is now publicly accessible and managed by London Grove Township.

History: Inniscrone opened in 1998 as part of a planned golf community and was designed by Gil Hanse. The development’s original concept envisioned a private club, but its ownership changed repeatedly in the first decade. London Grove Township acquired the property in 2009 and operates the course as a public facility. The transition changed who could play, while retaining the core Hanse routing on the site. The exact Avondale address, course name and 18-hole count align with the directory target.

Did You Know? Inniscrone’s layout makes use of pronounced landforms uncommon in southeastern Pennsylvania, with uphill and downhill shots shaping club selection throughout the round. The Golf Association of Philadelphia notes that Hanse worked with the rolling terrain rather than reshaping it, and highlights the broad views, wind-swept grasses and strategic bunkers. Those features give the course a rugged visual character uncommon among municipal facilities. London Grove Township now owns the property, preserving a distinctive Hanse design within the region’s municipal golf landscape.
