Comment: The Club at Renaissance has been a thriving and debt-free community for most of its existence and the community is nearly sold out. Over the past several years the club has experienced growth while at the same time maintaining its exclusivity.Members can choose from five sets of tees with yardages ranging from 7,248 yards for low-handicappers to 4,660 yards for juniors, seniors, and ladies. The scorecard takes things a bit further and lists an additional three yardages from hybrid/combo tees, so finding a suitable yardage is a snap. There’s water present on every hole and, unfortunately for most golfers, it’s on the right!The Club at Renaissance has several memorable holes. Number 2 is a par 5 that plays 461 yards from the Tee #2. The hole starts with a tee shot that requires about a 200-yard carry over water depending upon the line you take. The elevated green is protected in front with large bunkers. It’s a challenging golf hole and a three-shot hole for many golfers.Number 3 is a challenging driving hole. This 351-yard par 4 features trees all down the left with a couple of bunkers in the landing area just for good measure. Water on the right comes into play about 200 yards off the tee.Number 9 is a challenging par 5 that plays 454 yards from Tee #2, and with a good drive, it will present another risk/reward opportunity. Now for the obstacles. If you can drive over the two fairway bunkers in front of you, you’ll be left with a second shot of about 220 yards. A single bunker guards the left front of the green and water guards the right side.All four of the par 3 holes are challenging with water, mounding, and a lot of bunkering coming into play. This is evident on the 12th hole, which plays 140 yards. With all of the hazards that surround this long and narrow green, there isn’t much room for error. It’s yet another picturesque hole at the Club!Number 15 is a very challenging par 4 and The Club’s #1 handicap. From Tee #2, the hole plays 398 yards with water down the right side. A good drive will leave a mid to short-iron into the green, which is protected by a lone bunker in front.In the event you favor the courts over the course, Renaissance’s six championship red clay courts will make you feel like youre playing at the French Open. Their tennis program offers a variety of competitive and social activities, including Round Robin socials, mens and ladies clinics, individual and group lessons, themed tennis activities, and the annual Member-Guest Tennis Invitational.Although pickleball has been around since the 1960s, it only recently gained popularity. To keep up with the demand, The Club at Renaissance added two new state-of-the-art pickleball courts. You’ll find organized clinics and socials; private and semi-private lessons are also available. These new courts are lit for evening play!The Florida sun can be relentless at times and the sparkling, resort-style pool is reason enough to head to the Club on a hot summer day. The pool is open seasonally and the Rendezvous Pool Pavilion offers poolside service so you can enjoy lunch and a cold beverage while soaking in the rays!Whether you’re a golfer, racquet sports player, or just enjoy a good meal, The Club at Renaissance is the place to be. Renaissance is such a robust and active Club that there is always something going on. Weekly dining events include Tuesday and Thursday Pub Nights with Happy Hour, Tenderloin and Pasta Night, Saturday Grill Out at the Pool, and the best Sunday Brunch in Fort Myers. À la carte dining is available two days a week with great weekly specials and a menu that changes to reflect the season.Are you interested in becoming a member?
