I don't like the multiple holes you have to play over/across other greens/holes, especially given the course is directed at more amateur level players. Greens were a touch patchy in places. Pace of play was incredibly slow but I hear the social in front was for a commemoration so can't complain, except one guy was constantly on his phone - if you've got more important things to do, don't play. Fee of £35 for midday Saturday is steep; there are lots of courses within 5-10miles of Ilford (of better conditions and value for money) that charge less

Poor course, terrible pace of play even worse facilities
We won’t be going back - 5 hour round. The course is not a good one, very short and of little interest. They schedule far too close times and you often tee back over the previous green, waited 10-15 mins on EVERY hole.. the clubhouse is a glorified shedReviewer Rating

Don?t worry about the The Nth Circ
Adapting to urban golf. Plenty of courses are adjacent to traffic noise but block it out & enjoy what's in front of you. Enjoyed the variety. Might start getting heavier as the Autumn moves into winter but happy to return & excellent valueReviewer Rating

Won't be going back in a hurry
Pretty little course, but lack of club house (New one is currently being built) offering no WC facilities or anywhere to get a drink was not good - We weren't informed about the clubhouse when booking and yet they still charged full price. Grumpy warden also put a downer on the round. Horrible orange grass treatment also stained literally everything!(Round played: Sep 2021 - Score: 93 Handicap: 17.9)

So Confusing but Nice course....
Five of us played today for our first time at Ilford GC. No clubhouse facilities, no marshalling and basically just the members on the course.Great shorter course in excellent condition considering that most of Ilford were underwater about two weeks ago.
As we looked a little lost after going over a footbridge over a busy dual carriageway a couple of the members kindly directed to the starting holes and talked us through the first three holes.
The major feedback really is the layout of the course is very very confusing, any Garmin products were picking up the wrong hole and frankly so of it on a busy day (this was not thankfully) would have been dangerous in the hands of the wrong golfers.
We will be back now we know what we are doing but hopefully a clubhouse facilty will enhance the experience.

Tricky gem
Hidden in the East End this course is a must play. Kept very well considering the rain we have had recently. Apparently the layout has recently changed and they are in need of a few new signs to direct golfers to the next tee.However the course was in great shape with a number of 'thinking holes'. The shorter par 4's allow you to attack but beware of the out of bounds. Would happily play here again.

Recommend for beginners as not too long yet tricky enough to challenge those with lower handicaps.

It is more than 30 years since I played the course but it won't be
anywhere near as long until I return. Although it suffers from
having the A406 running alongside it it proved to be in great
condition with the greens deserving particular praise. We met
up with the greenkeepers half way round. They seem very
motivated and keen to make the course as good as they can.
There doing a great job. Not the longest course but really
enjoyable.
