Ilford is a very friendly club. Considering the amount of rain in east London last few days it was remarkably dry. The greens were firm, but a high ball would stop .The greens are always good at Ilford. My only complaint was nature. So many leaves it took an age to find our balls.

Ilford Golf Course is a fantastic option for those seeking a good value for money round of golf during the summer months. The Twilight hours offer an affordable way to play, making it accessible to all. The course is usually well maintained and presents enjoyable challenges throughout, with some fun questions of the tee. Although the course was very dry during the summer, it has since recovered, providing a pleasant round of golf all year round. However, it can be very wet during the winter months, so it's always worth checking the weather before booking a tee time. One of the standout features of Ilford Golf Course is the feeling of the course being getable, meaning that it is possible for golfers of all skill levels to have a good round. With a mix of short and long holes, there is something for everyone to enjoy. Personally, my favorite hole is the 6th. The green is well maintained and boasts impressive bunkers on either side, making for a visually striking hole. It's a challenging par 4 that requires some strategic thinking to navigate successfully, and it's always satisfying to make par or better on this hole. Overall, I highly recommend Ilford Golf Course for those seeking an affordable round of golf with enjoyable challenges throughout. With a well-maintained course, a range of holes to suit all abilities, and some visually striking features, it's a great choice for any keen golfer.

Always wanted to play here but never quite got round to it, all be it that this is a local course. I knew that the course sat very close to the A406 so I was somewhat prepared for that. Quite surreal to see a well kept green surrounded by beautiful trees with a flyover and crane for a backdrop. The course was relatively short with some interesting blind shots and quirky holes due to the river running through. A few holes cross over each other as well so clearly getting the course into the space available has required some compromises. The greens I found ran very true and after a few holes found my myself feeling very confident hitting putts from distance. Pitching into the greens I found they didn't take much spin and balls rolled off greens quite readily. Some aspects of maintenance were disappointing, a lot of cut grass just sits all over the course making it appear unkept. For some reason found a traffic bollard in the course which I must say is a first. Overall a decent experience. The cost and proximity makes this course a good option.

I knew what I was going to play and I still liked the course and the layout is super fun to play. The quirky relationship with the highway is unique. There are no two holes alike, which I love. The overall condition was not good throughout. It could just use more maintenance everywhere all the time. #2, #6, #9, #11, #13, #14, #16 and #17 are all good holes.
