What They’re Saying
“Would it be an exaggeration to suggest Brian Silva’s career has been a renaissance for golf course architecture? Perhaps, but there’s little denying that Silva has made his mark both restoring and creating new courses around the United States… Silva has made a name for himself at least in part by adapting the features of the template layers, such as C.B. Macdonald and Seth Raynor. This course is not solely a tribute to those classic holes, but Silva sprinkles a few examples around the property, including a Narrows, Cape, and Sahara hole. There are other existing concepts that he utterly reinvents.”

The Renaissance course is renowned for its classic design features, straight from golf’s ‘Golden Age of Architecture’. It’s also well known for being a ton of fun to play.”

“Each stroke comprehends not only an immediate problem but a future problem as well. It follows that every hazard of a hole, even the bunkers that abut upon the green of a three-shot hole, must be felt by the player at the tee. Thus the golfer is forced to assume immediate risks if he wishes to rid himself of future liabilities”
