Great layout let down by the very poor condition of the course. Very much lacking tlc in most areas.
Living off past reputation and better courses availiable in the near vicinity.

Played an Open here, don't let you know the prize winners, course and greens were average, with the bunkers ( many were huge) suffering from a lack of sand overall disappointing.

The last two reviews describe the course perfectly, was great when I played it At start of the year but after a few return visits, it's a complete contrast and not for the better.
The course has so much potential but is let down by its general condition. I have played it a few times through the year as I live locally, areas marked GUR have been that way since April and still remain in need of repair. I hope that the club can get things sorted as it could be one of the best in the area if properly looked after. The bunkers need some serious treatment and the general surroundings of the course have been left to grow and appear shabby. The greens on their day are outstanding, generally a Wednesday for the midweek medal (I'd imagine they'd be the same for a Saturday Medal), but any other day it's a hit or a miss. Catering and the bar were on limited hours which is not ideal. Doubt I'll play again until next year and will need to improve drastically if I'm to return afterwards.

I played Renfrew yesterday as a special offer on teeofftimes. The course was ok. I was not amazed by it in any way. In my opinion the course needs a little more tlc. The greens were not up to much.
They were fairly slow and bobbly. This made putting difficult as the bobbles knocked the putts off line. The bunkers hardly had any sand in, well the majority anyway. There was the odd one which was decent. I would have been a little annoyed if I had paid the full green fee price for this course as it is not worth the full fee in my opinion. If you can get a cheap tee time it is ok for a practice but I probably wouldn't play it again, I would rather pay a little more for a course with better greens. I can't really rate the clubhouse and facilities as I didn't use them.

Clubhouse facilities were great, the course on the other hand was extremely disappointing even considering that the weather was unkind on the day we all played it.
The course must be the noisiest golf course I have ever played with what I was told a scrapyard banging away overlooking the 2nd green and the constant planes from Glasgow Airport.

Should have been better
Typical park land course with a few parallel holes. Unfortunately the conditions in some of the bunkers is poor. I get you should not be in them, but you would like some decent sand to give you a chance to get out.Reviewer Rating

Good course, slow play from members
This would be rated excellent if it wasn't for slow play by some members, 2 4 balls that teed off more than an hour before us held up the full course, we were on every tee from the fifth hole, the two two balls that were ahead of us and the four balls walked off at the 9th and 10th, at 11 one group was still on the tee when we got there. Asked what the chances of playing through were and got told to know our place and they were members so could take aslong as they wanted.The course itself was great despite all the recent rain, wet in places, greens good but you really need to be straight off the tee or your in the trees

(Round played: Oct 2016 - Score: 98 Handicap: 23.8)
A decent course but could have been better cared for. A combination of uncut rough and early autumn leaves meant losing balls that shouldn't have been lost.
Most part 4s dog legging left to right made it difficult to leave myself in position to get close with approach as I fade off the tee. Probably a lot easier course if your draw the ball.
No facilities were open for my 11am tee off, bar and pro shop closed hence facilities and services rated as poor.

This is my local course and at times has received a lot of justified criticism, the course this year has been exceptional. The greens are as good as they have ever been, the general up keep is neat and tidy. Course is one for the longer player but can be enjoyed by golfer of any level.

Course improved a lot since last season particularly the greens. Renfrew is lengthy but flat course with a variety of holes however the par 3s are quite long. Clubhouse friendly and has a good atmosphere and nice to have a post match drink and bite to eat in.

2018 looking good
My home course and for those of you looking for a quality layout, flat and coming along nicely as the weather heats up, I can recommend it. Green keeping team have a new lease of life and are working well. Organised and along with greens committee have a planned schedule going forward. New caterer in place offering home baking and home made food stuffs. So far so good. Come along and enjoy.Reviewer Rating
