I really like the layout and I typically score well here. However, the conditions were average at best. Some fairways are ok and others have large dirt areas. Some drives had some very big bounces and a lot of roll. Bunkers were spotty with some raked and others not in good shape. The greens appear to be on the edge. Lots of ball marks and spotty areas. The heat must be getting to the greens since they are bent. The putts rolled ok but I could see problems in the future. Many tee boxes are not level and they were pretty torn up. Overall I was disappointed and probably will not return for a while.
MGOBLUE at 8/3/14 9:34pm – Just played Renaissance today, August 3rd and agree with everything dongtrgolfer posted on July 14th. Love the layout but conditions, especially the greens need help. Also it was a last minute decision to play on a Sunday and the 9 hole rate with a cart was $30. Pretty steep for 5PM tee time considering the conditions.
Ballantyne closes today :-(

For those that may have missed the news last month, The Golf Club at Ballantyne closes for good today. I really hate to see it go and have no idea how they will manage to find comparable golf for their guests to enjoy while staying the hotel. I will always have a plaque...
