Zero maintenance done!!
Was initially looking forward to playing here as I’ve driven past more times than I care to mention.On arrival the clubhouse seemed decent but that is where everything started to go downhill once you have walked over the A406 to the 1st tee.
Every green was basically dead, covered in moss and weeds and it was a total waste of time even reading a line because the ball would hit a weed and divert.
Groundma s was attempting to water the greens with the most pathetic looking sprinklers I’ve ever seen, and it was a waste of time as there was no grass on the greens anyways.
Tee boxes were even worse (if that was at all possible), and the fairways and rough just looked like it hadn’t seen any attention for weeks, if not months!!
The lay out is ridiculous, with tee boxes too close to greens so you are nearly always looking out for stray balls coming towards you or your hitting over people which just seemed ridiculous.
After just a couple of holes it was a total waste of time, and we really stopped scoring and used it as a practice…. £35 cost in my opinion was about £35 too much as to play this course again they would have to pay me or spend a considerable amount of time doing basic golf course maintenance.
Apart from a decent clubhouse it looks like a course that is just waiting for the inevitable closure.

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.
(Round played: Aug 2021 - Score: 94 Handicap: 19.7)

Highly Recommended.
Tight course with some real challenging holes. Great atmosphere and really friendly. There is a new club house being built at the moment although there is a delay due to the Covid pandemic.Reviewer Rating
