Renditions Golf Course

I played here with a buddy on a late Sunday afternoon. We paid twilight greens fees and I was expecting a long, drawn-​out afternoon of waiting 10 minutes between each shot. To my amazement, the course was relatively wide open. I’m not sure if this was a one-​time fluke, or if the course manages to keep away some of the slack jawed yokels that tend to show up on Sunday afternoons.
The course itself is a fun challenge. If your golf history buff, you’ll appreciate the attempts to create major championship holes, especially Amen Corner. The course is in decent shape and the GPS carts are certainly an added bonus. All in all, a great place to play and well-​priced experience.

Interesting idea. There is a rush playing famous holes, especially those from Augusta.

Great place to play some nice golf. Great staff and GPS carts are a super plus.

So if you work in Prince George’s or Anne Arundel County, this is the perfect place to throw a holiday party or even a wedding reception. The Country Club is gorgeous! The formal living room is large and quaint at the same time. The ladies felt a little under dressed because of the sparkling white table cloths, I of course was looking quite dapper in Hugo Boss. Lol We celebrated our division’s holiday party here and the food was EXCELLENT. They have an on-​site chef and this guy knows what he’s doing. We had all meat crab cakes, succulent prime rib and baked Cornish hens. All finger lickin good! The bar area is what you expect at a country club. A lot of rich wood and a lot of good scotch… Lol This was definitely a five star kind of night!

This is a really nice course, with friendly staff and a interesting clubhouse. Cool pictures and interesting memorabilia in the bar/​grill area.
The course has a good putting green and a nice driving range with mats and grass tees.
Course in itself is not too bad from the Back tees. Amen corner is amazing. Really felt like you were playing in Augusta.
TPC Sawgrass par 3 hole is an excellent rendition from the Players course. Very sloped green, hard to get a 2, depending on where the hole is.
I played with a buddy if mine and we were the first ones out. It was cart path only, and the carts will not move if you stray from the path. There is GPS in each cart and it was pretty accurate versus a bushnell range finder.
Overall the course was pretty cool to play. A little pricey, but an awesome experience for the average golfer only dreaming of playing Augusta or TPC Sawgrass. They even have yellow flags for Amen Corner, and the wicker basket for a hole from Merion Golf Club. Only negative might be pace of play, bit try to get out early and beat the rush!

Played here dozens of times. Mostly good service. Fun course, about a ⁶⁄₁₀ on challenging (pretty wide open, especially on the front, so a good course to play in the offseason or when trying to get rid of spraying it!). Docked a star for two of my 20 or so ish visits where I had issues. Notably, I won a gift certificate for a scramble (which you would assume is good as cash), and was denied using it when a special was run («Christmas In July,» where we got winter rates for a day), so my options were to pay $ 90 then use my $ 40 gift card or pay the special price of $ 50 or so. I understand not being able to combine two 50% off coupons but this was merely a gift certificate, again, which should be treated like cash. The owner surely was suffering from not profiting enough from the $ 7 Coors Lights. The other thumbs down was when I made a tee time and had to wait 45 minutes since a scramble was scheduled that day. Unlike a good restaurant that tells you the wait time when you attempt to make a reservation, Renditions failed to notify me of this when I made the actual time. Other than these two times, the starter, pro staff, and bar/​dining room staff have been very good. Food is typical golf course grub. I hear they use their banquet room for special events, plays, dinners, etc., which sounds pretty cool and is a wise use of the nice space they have inside. If you’re in the area, a great course that is just a notch below Lake Presidential.

Played here today and came away with some impressions.
Playing some of the signature holes from some of the world’s most notable golf courses was a treat. The GPS on the carts was a huge bonus, and the price of $ 79 for a Saturday morning round was OK.
The course, however, was not in the best condition. My friends and I had played at Queenstown Harbor’s River course, and the course was immaculate despite intense heat that threatened to sear the grass. Renditions was OK, but there were also many dry patches of grass and even a few bald spots. The turn does not take you anywhere near the clubhouse, which must be why there is a «mid-​course» concession stand after hole #5 and hole #12.
I might return to bring some family members and out-​of-​town friends out to the course, but I don’t know if I would include this course in my regular rotation.

As a marginally better than average golfer, nothing beats the fantasy of playing at the Masters, Carnoustie, TPC Sawgrass etc that this course provides! Reasonable pricing for well manacured course, attentive staff and GPS carts (included, holes are too far apart to allow walking unfortunately). Very Friendly staff and fellow golfers too. Despite the heat in the 90’s, everyone seemed in a great mood.
This course is probably most fun and best suited for low to mid handicappers. Would not recommend at all for beginning/​slow golfers — there’s not much point and the difficulty will cause you to slow up play and lessen the experience for others.
Their marshal was actually on top of us (this is a good thing to keep your rounds fast) despite our being 10 minutes ahead of pace, per what our cart said — so that was good to see.
Only downside for me was: I wished they didn’t have recently aerated/​sanded greens; so putting was not a real accurate reflection of our score. (their greens are nearly as tough as they come already) But as a bonus, they made it up to us with TWO 2 for 1 passes for next time. Awesome! Can’t wait to go back and improve my score.
On the back end, our first beers only cost .92 and .90 cents with their ‘pay what you shot’ special on the 19^th hole. Lastly, wings were really good. Highly recommend!

It is a challenging golf course replicating well known holes from TPG Sawgrass to Amen corner of Augusta National. Hit till your heart content. It is a golf country club service at a reasonable price if you can play hookie during Monday to Thursday. $ ⁵⁴⁄₁₈ holes including cart.
The putting green is located behind the clubhouse and driving range by parking lot. If you have to entertain out of town guests or hang out with golf buddies, I suggest Mike’s Crab house by south river in Riva, 15 minutes away.

The other reviews pretty much summarize the experience at Renditions:
— employees are awesome ! Very friendly, courteous, etc.
— the course is tough ! Expect to take a beating.
— definitely a fun experience.
— will definitely play here again.
— I like to walk when I play, but don’t try it here. There are some very long distances between greens and tees and walking will take too long. Get a cart for sure.

I’ve played the course now twice, and I have to say that it’s a pretty solid course. There is definitely an entertainment fee built into the greens fees, but that’s to be expected with a «gimmick-​based» course. But at least it’s a pretty cool gimmick…
First off, the staff at the course have been extremely courteous and friendly both times. They grab your bags at the bag-​drop and throw them onto the cart for you as you stroll into the club house to pay your greens fees. The starter will ask if you’ve played there before, and then provide you with details on the course (even if you just told him it’s not your first visit).
The course itself is relatively well maintained, especially on the front 9. The greens are relatively consistent throughout the course, and the bunkers are generally well-​maintained. The fairways were also fantastic, and the rough was just punishing enough. A few holes had some tired, beatdown spots, most notably the rough to the right side on holes 9 though 11.
Don’t head here thinking that you are going to recognize the majority of these holes from watching the Golf Channel. This has a lot to do with the fact that the holes are taken out of context. However, there are some absolutely recognizable holes, particularly the 13^th, which replicated the 17^th at TPC Sawgrass – the famed «island green.» The Augusta National holes are easily the most well-​maintained on the course. The other really recognizable hole would be the 15^th, which replicated Oakmont’s 3^rd hole. Why is it recognizable? Because of the epic Church Pews bunker up the left side. A daunting site indeed.
The cons for this course are minimal: At the turn, you’re actually no where near the club house. The cart girl comes around infrequently, but there’s a snack shack that you drive by three times. And sometimes the course unnecessarily employs the «cart path only» rule, which definitely slows play.
Overall, it’s a really fun course, the sign postings on each hole provide fun little history lessons, and it’s well-​kept. The course isn’t actually too difficult, which can make the round more enjoyable for lesser skilled golfers.

Great course. Love the concept and can’t wait to get back out there again to test my skills against some of the best holes in golf. So what if they’re just remakes of the greatest holes in golf’s history, I’m going to imagine that I was facing a gallery while staring down the Island Green of TPC Sawgrass.
The course isn’t too far a drive from DC and the rates were about par with many of the other courses in the region. My friends and I had a morning round so the pace was solid… in fact, don’t think there was a moment when we had to wait on the tee box. Can’t say the same for the group playing behind us… sorry. Since I’m sure to try to make it out again, I’ll try to quicken up our pace and avoid being put on the clock.

I don’t know what they guy who gave it one star is talking about to be honest. Definitely a fun track with pretty good service. Lots of holes that mimic some famous ones around the world. Amen Corner from Augusta National is beautifully done. TPC Sawgrass #17 is also fun, but has a very sloped green. Everything else was solid, and I did like the British Open courses’ holes. Pot bunkers! Too bad the faces aren’t riveted (?). But the Royal Lytham’s #16 replica doesn’t look anything like it. All around a fun track and I’ll definitely be back. Too bad the greens were chewed up when I played and they had just punched the fairways. But what can you do.

I had a very good experience at Renditions. The course was in great shape and every employee was extremely courteous. Pace of play was a little slow, but it was expected because of the popularity of this course.

Renditions is one of those courses you have to try, but you probably won’t be a regular here. For one, the course is a bit tricky because it is just replicas of «famous» holes from around the globe. Because of this, there isn’t a feel to a course.
Usually when you play a course, you get a feel for how it is developing, progressing to the finish. However, when you play a hole that is links style and then go right into a «bomb and gouge» style, it is hard to develop any feel for how the course is moving toward 18.
I enjoy playing the course because it has usually been in good shape and they have indeed lowered the price (but still not exactly cheap). As long as you aren’t playing too bad, you can probably get through in under 5 hours on the weekend.
The course really does give you a very good experience though — from when you drop your clubs off and they get you set up, to the presentation in the clubhouse and the look of the facilities there, it feels like an expensive course should.
I would certainly recommend trying the course out, at least for the utter joy of being able to take a shot at the 17^th at Sawgrass. Sure, it is only 134 yards, but it is all carry and usually you will have two groups on the tee playing it because it gets backed up. Same with Amen Corner, this is the slowest part of the course.
Play it at least once, just to say you did.

I attempted to play Renditions on Saturday May 21, 2011. Getting to the second tee box– there were 2 foursomes waiting for the green to clear. After 3 hours, we finally got through 9 holes. I had to leave after 4 hours, before playing the 12^th hole. In the pro shop, they indicated that the «marshall is new» as an excuse, however, there was no marshall on the course. I asked for my money back and they gave me some receipt that says they did, but my bank account says otherwise. Now it’s phone fights to get it rectified. Never again.

I’ve been playing on and off for a few years. I’ve got to say that Renditions was one of the hardest courses I’ve played. We played from the White Tee’s and yet lost a lot of balls. The course is in excellent condition. However, I would say that if you plan on having a few beers while you’re playing, stock up before you head out, which thankfully we did. The beer cart does not come by very often.
At about $ 70/​per person, it’s a great course. Don’t think about walking this course. You will have a very long round (5+hrs) and will have a lot of pissed of players behind you. One of our players was running late and the starter was very good about it. They kept moving other groups ahead of us. The clubhouse is very warm and welcoming. Drinks are priced pretty fairly. Food was OK. But what do you expect — you are there to play golf not to judge them by their menu options.
I would love to go back and play there again.

This was the first golf course we played at when we moved to Annapolis. A friend had told us the course was a little «hokey» as it’s modeled after holes from famous golf courses around the world. So, my expectations were low. But I was pleasantly surprised.
The practice facilities are top notch, with driving range, greens, bunker practice. The conditions were excellent. The hubs and I liked it all around. And what we liked best, it was pretty quiet. On a summer Saturday afternoon, we got 18 holes in 4 hours 10 minutes… that is tough to do almost anywhere. And we didn’t even play through anyone!
If memory serves me correctly, the food was good too. I’ll have to update when I go back — and there will definitely be a next time. If this place where 5 minutes closer, we’d probably play it a lot. But with rates around $ 75, it’s not somewhere we’d play every weekend.
I have to admit, I really enjoyed the little «stories» they had posted at each tee box describing one of the more famous or infamous incidents that occurred on that hole (at the real course). Someone with a sharp wit and sense of humor made the round that much more enjoyable for us.
