The Renaissance Club may be one of, if not the most, underrated golf courses I've played to date. I had the opportunity to experience it on a bipolar summer's day in August—one filled with wind, rain, and beautiful blue skies. The course boasts what is possibly my favorite stretch of holes, from 8 to 11, offering undeniably stunning views paired with incredibly well-designed golf holes that complement and follow the landscape. The 10th hole, a slight dogleg left wrapping around the coastline, is nothing short of incredible. Like many top clubs, especially those in the "exclusive" realm, it's not just a round of golf—it's an experience, and this one will be tough to beat.
