Hidden Gem

Found some great deals on GolfNow.com and we have played Renfrew several Friday mornings for under $15 with a cart. Incredible deal! The front 9 is the old course with a typical old course layout, with some challenging holes, but the back nine has some really great holes. #10 with the 428 yd up hill par 4. The green on #12, and two really great finishing holes with "the over the valley" par 3 17th, and the par 5 18th. Conditions have always been really good/great, with the exception of the greens be slightly slow early in the summer. A great deal for the money!

Great older course

Fair course, but you have to make quality shots..Lots of elevated greens , so no rolling onto the greens, all carry.Difficult course to walk, suggest taking a cart. A few blind shots, so if carting don't be afraid to go ahead & look at the hole design.Enjoy playing there always.Try the draft beer from Peterborough after.

Great deal

The course was in great shape, despite a previous week of hot and dry weather. We attributed this to a regular high level of maintenance performed by the greenskeepers. The course offered just the right amount of challenge (20-something handicaps). Our 1:30 PM tee time worked out well as we had no one in front of us until the 15th hole, and even then the foursome ahead of us was very quick. Great value for the money.

great course

good shot values throughout and a few really spectacular hole with a couple of impressive elevated tees. there's even a 2nd cut between fairway and rough.
greens are slow and some tee boxes uneven, but these are minor complaints. overall an excellent golf experience!

Course is in great shape

The Renfrew Golf course is in wonderful shape.
Tough course due to fact that you have a lot of uneven stances when playing your second shot.
The greens are rolling perfectly.
Very enjoyable round!

Fun Course Layout

For an older course it is very well cared for. The layout is well done and forces you to use every club in your bag. Greens have a lot of undulation and depending on pin placement, sometimes your best approach is center of the green (don't go pin seeking).

Great local course

Beautiful course in natural country surrounding If you are senior like me would recommend a cart as quite hilly in places and long walk. Great value thanks to discount from Golfnow.com. Course in excellent condition and foursome easily completed 18 in 4 hours.

Patience is key

Great course to play but it could get frustrating at times because of slow play. I understand that some people like to walk the course which I have done in the past but walking the course is a challenge in itself. I've seen many people dragging their feet after 5 holes of play which becomes a definite contributor to slow play. I wish the course management would make cart use
obligatory for non members. It would certainly speed up pace of play and at the same time bring in more revenue for the course.

Beautiful course

Renfrew is a beautiful course with a lot of elevations. It is not the most difficult one but it is a good challenge for sure. The green and fairways are in very good shape.
The staff was very professional and polite.
I would go back to this place anytime.

Raining but still a great experience!

Bunkers were very hard making difficult sand shots. Somewhat understandable due to excessive rains we have had in Eastern Ontario. Staff were courteous by giving rain check for unplayed back nine. We tried to phone for directions but had difficulties hearing clearly the extension number for the pro shop as it was messaged too fast and not clear enough.

Beauty

I have played here before and am never disappointed. I brought 3 friends from Ottawa and they were glad they came. They were very pleased with the course and the first time they played here. The one thing that needs some attention is the tee boxes most were un-level and a bit bare other than that the course is in great shape.
