Approach shot on one of the holes.. shows the average putting green condition Photo submitted by dmhj4evr on 09/30/2013
im glad i paid what i paid to play this course
Do not pay more than 20 dls to play this course ,renaissance gc is not whatever it used to be and I truly believe is overrated!!!
Convenient but not great value
I've played Renaissance many times before but finally came to the conclusion the value is just not there. The rough is poorly kept and we were losing golf balls less than 10 feet out of the fairways. Greens were in below-average condition also
Needs some attention, fairways and light rough.
I was not to happy with the condition of this course, I had played this course once previously a few years back and remember the condition of the fairways and upkeep to be better. The fairway grass was long, making it difficult to spot the ball when hit in the middle of the fairway and periodically led to drops with all players within the foursome. If the ball rolled off the fairway, it was almost impossible to recover. Until I hear or see a general improvement to the courses current condition, I will not be returning.
Grass was not cut
Unfortunately on the day we played, if you didn't land your ball in the fairway, you had no chance of finding the ball even in the secondary cut just off the fairways. The grass there had not been cut in some time. We were told this was a water pump problem.
I would wait until the pump is repaired and the grass is cut before playing here again. Otherwise it's an OK course.
Too much rough.
The greens are receptive and true. For a public course, the rough is too thick. Any ball missing the fairway requires an inordinate amount of time to locate. This only slows play, and does nothing to add to the golfing experience.
Great location....
Well kept and slightly challenging. Location..location...location!
Ridiculous Rough
The rough is so thick and deep that it adds probably an hour if not more to your rounds from just searching for your ball should it trickle into the rough, and with a lot of blind shots where you cant see where the ball landed it become quite the daunting task, greens were very good though.
The course is a great value
We played the course after a heavy rain and the course remained very playable. The greens were in good shape and scenery was nice. The fairways are requie several shots with the ball above & below your feet. Its worth a try.
Wonderful greens
Course is in great shape. Greens were wonderful, better than most in the area. Was able to get special rate which made the value that much better. Looking forward to playing again.
This is a fun course to play
This was my first time to play this course. Played almost like a mountain course with lots of elevation changes, hills, elevated tees and greens. It was challenging but with room for forgiving an errant shot. The fairways were in decent shape but could use some work. The greens though were in great shape. For the price, I'll be playing there again.
Needs work
I took my 5 year old son to the course with me. The staff was very receptive to having him there. They gave home a free small bucket to warm up with. The course wasn't in great shape. The first hole I hit a drive right down the middle and couldn't find the ball. The grass was dormant and you had a tough time to find the balls. The layout wasn't too bad, there are several moguls and very few flat lies. Not sure I will go back.
A nice variety of different looking and playing holes.
overall, a nice layout. holes are all different , with the par three 13th spectacular. Both nines end with great holes. only negative, was the course condition, but overall a nice track. would recommend this course at the price we played.
Nice Course, with challenging blind greens and a lot of elevation.

Worst course in Charlotte
I am not saying this is the worst course I have ever played but this course is awful. Layout is horrible, condition is horrible and price is waaaay too high for a public course. The only thing this has going for it is location. Save yourself a headache and disappointment and do not play here. It was in better shape when it was a dump. I was born and raised in Charlotte, work 3 minutes from here, live 15 from the course and will never play this goat ranch again.
Worth the Price
Great value for $25. What I paid. Even though the course is 5 minutes from my home I would not play for the $40 regular weekday rate. Too many better choices for that price.
City Course
Overall the course was "OK" at best. Some of the tee boxes were only mowed between the markers. Fairways and greens were alright and the bunkers werent bad. For $50 I expected a little better upkeep.
Course has went downhill
At one time this course was a TPC style course. It has went downhill considerably. Tee boxes and fairways look the same. Its hard to distinguish the teeing area. Greens are rough and patchy. Also have to deal with construction during your round. The sister course ( Sunset Hills) is in better shape for a much better price.
nice layout,poor course maintenance,friendly and helpfu; staff
greens need more attention,otherwise challenging course
