Nice course but cut the rough

Greens, fairways and tee boxes were in good shape. The rough was too long. Balls that were even a few feet into the rough were hard to find with long rough grass and all that clover. We could tell others were struggling to find balls too as we found quite a few balls too. Losing balls is expected near the natural areas but not that close to fairways and greens. Will play there again, hope to find the rough areas near the fairways better mowed next time. Otherwise a nice course.

Renwood golf course has great features.

The clubhouse and restaurant are immaculate. The staff is very friendly and efficient. They get you out on the course quickly. The front nine and the back nine are like 2 different courses. It is fun and challenging. The tee boxes, fairways, greens were in great shape. The rough was a little long. Sometimes hitting a foot from the fairway into the rough made it hard to find your ball. Sand traps were crusty. It is not always that way. I play there 1-2 times a week. It is my favorite local course. It is always an enjoyable experience.

Full of Surprises

Some holes are short and simple while others can be long and challenging. This makes for an interesting and somewhat eclectic round. I actually mistakingly played my second shot on one dogleg hole to the wrong fairway only to find what may have been a better path to the green, lipping out my par putt. We had fun playing this course and definitely plan to return.

Narrow fairways.

The course was nice and well maintained. The fairways are a little long so drives don't roll much after landing. They're also really narrow, so if you slice or hook really bad, bring extra balls. The greens are pretty fast and not all chewed up.
