I joined Renaissance early on it's history. The Sarvadi brothers who are the driving force behind this Club have put in an awesome amount of dedication as well as a few dollars to make this most magnificent course with excellent Clubhouse, accommodation and other facilities.
This is the impressive entrance. What awaits you is just one of the great golfing venues. The course is magnificent, and the Clubhouse and Lodges are just incredible.
The Club hosted The Scottish Open in 2019. here’s a link to an article on that from the new York Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/10/sports/golf/scottish-open-renaissance-club.html
Here’s a quick video:

Here's a bit of blurb about this magnificent of Golf Clubs...
And here's a piece about the brains behind the Club:
Here's some pictures of us playing the course

This looks out onto the 18th green.
This is the relatively new hole, one of three constructed following a land swap with Muirfield.

Stop the Press: Renaissance will host Scottish Open in 2019 and 2020!!
7 of my good buddies from New York came over in June 2019 and played the course. A challenging day and the course is in fine fettle ahead of the Scottish open.
Another group came over from the States in September of 2019 and again enjoyed the whole experience. There is no question that the flexibility at Renaissance is the best way to start a golf trip.
Looking back down the 18th. September 2019.

Eric Anders Lang came to Renaissance as part of his brilliant series on playing golf at Championship courses just before or after the tournament was played. I met him briefly as he was finishing off his round at Winged foot - he did not break 90 there - and this video describes the challenges he had at Renaissance.

Its a hard golf course from the tips, and the weather was not favorable either.
