The Renaissance Club golf course has been designed and routed by Tom Doak and his team at Renaissance Golf, Inc. Tom’s design work is known across the world, and he has a leading reputation for building courses on great sites like Archerfield.He has designed and helped build over twenty courses in recent years, including public, private, and resort and development designs. He has been named Golf Architect of the Year and several of his courses are now ranked among the world’s very best, most notably Pacific Dunes in Bandon, Oregon.

Because of his high regard for the special nature of property and the history of the area in terms of golf itself, Tom was pleased to have The Renaissance Club as the name of the club, both for the meaning of the word and its connection to Doak’s Renaissance Golf, Inc.  A quotation attributed to Tom Doak is particularly applicable:

There was very little earth moving in the construction of the course so that the design naturally uses the original dunes landscape typical of true links land. Doak and his team incorporated these contours into the course design while leaving certain trees of significance (or stands of trees) to enhance the beauty and challenges of play on the course, giving the course a truly distinctive style (windswept and open dunes land with trees coming into play on a truly coastal links course in Scotland).
