The Renaissance Club

It seems that most of the reviews that you see only about RC are based on the fact that it is new, links therefore not as good.

very expensive up market club, the whole clubhouse experience and day was good, but the course itself did not live up to the hype 4 really excellent holes 8, 9,10,11 nearest the ocean with great views, but quite a few blander long holes, greens were incredibly undulating and you would need to know exactly where the pin was , very challenging with severe long rough and narrow fairways, enjoyed the day but i know this is contentious I enjoyed Archerfield more

Many will focus on why The Renaissance Club is not on par with the classic links of Scotland - to focus on that is to miss what is a great modern links.

The Doak crafted noisy neighbour, who stacks up well against it's local rivals.

The Renaissance Club may be one of, if not the most, underrated golf courses I've played to date.

I played The Renaissance Club on a Saturday lunchtime in November, on a sunny day but with a fairly significant gusty wind.

First impressions are important but not everything

Down the winding road to the Archerfield Estate is one of Scotland’s exclusive golf retreats.

Last minute winter trips to play golf in East Lothian seem to be my thing but as I thought Renaissance would be one of the tougher courses to tick off my top 100 journey, I was never going to say no to the opportunity of playing it.

Like a youngster on Xmas morning I arrived at the gates of the Renaissance Club excited at the prospect of sampling the delights of this exclusive private members club.
