Old and new

Usually this course is in good condition. However they are doing some turf work which gets in the way of a round of golf. This course is a combination of a old classic tree lined 9 holes and a newer style front 9.

Morning After Heavy Rains

The day before our 7:30 am tee time dumped heavy rains in the area. So, the course was soggy and had standing water at low points, but was still playable. The course did call early that morning to alert us to the watery conditions and offered a discount upon arrival to the clubhouse.

The front 9 is more difficult than the back 9. The front 9 has water hazards on most holes. A number of the holes on the back 9 are tightly grouped, but are easier to navigate.

Shot makers golf course

Renwood is a park district golf course. With the monetary funds available, the course is a work in progress. Inconsistent sand traps remain and there is standing water after a good rainfall. However, when the course is in good condition, a chess game with the course will be enjoyed by most. It is a risk reward type of golf course. On weekends and at times on weekdays the lack of supervision on the golf course presents issues. However, I am proud to be a season holder/member of Renwood!

S.L.O.W.

I understand the course is easy and these type of courses tend to bring out novice golfers but the educate is not there. At many holes we were 2 groups deep at the tee box to watch a group ahead of us hit 12 shots to get to the green or out of driving distance. There was no ranger to be seen to tell this group to speed up and the group always sped off before we could even ask to play though.

I'm all for people getting into the game, but this course makes it frustrating for all skill levels to enjoy themselves when the pace of play is terrible.

This Course is A Great Value Course

Very friendly staff and golfers. Played on a Sunday morning, lots of walkers and lots of "regulars" who were welcoming to a newcomer. Course in average condition, greens slower than other courses in the area, lots of holes are "target golf" where you don't use driver. I very much enjoyed the course and will likely be back.

Nice Track

Haven't played in years. Don't know why. Plan to return.

Front is long/ wide with plenty of opportunities for penalty. Greens are undulating. Be aware of par 5 seventh.

Back is much shorter and tighter. Not tight. Just tighter. Course in very good shape. Greens are a bit slow, but run true.

Hot Deal was $19. Steal!

Two very different nines.

Nice little course. Very well maintained for a public course. Front nine newer, twisting; less than driver off several tees. Large rolling greens. Back nine old style. Narrow, straight. Small tees. Will return.

Always a fun day of golf there.

We enjoyed our round of golf that day. Lots of water on the front nine which makes it a challenge.
