Vineyard National Golf at Renault Winery

After playing LBI National a few times we decided to play its sister club. Really disappointing. The summer has really taken its toll. A lot of dead grass, weeds, crabgrass throughout; greens are good, fairways also have a lot of unrepaired divots (put divot mix in the bottles on the cart so player can repair ours were empty). A relatively open course, but still challenging. I don’t know why it’s not to the caliber of LBI National but it is priced a lot less. The location is beautiful and you do meander through some of the vineyards. The staff is great and friendly, Jeff particularly, and after golf a great restaurant and fabulous bar. It appears to be a terrific wedding venue, there was one happening last night. If Renault put money into this it could be another LBI, maybe better given the winery experience and surrounding beautiful areas

Course was ok for a beach course. 2/3 T boxes were fried. Fairways decent and greens good. Had a frustrating situation when we booked 2 T times for our group of 5. We all play fast and wanted to do a 2 ball scramble for our beach week round. Called and they said it would be fine as long as no one joined us. Then we’re harassed on the course. We were up against the foursome in front, waiting at times and no one was ever behind us. They had a snit and made us separate slowing everything down. Pace of play is the most important part of a round, we were faster than the foursome in front and no one ever waited on us. Don’t understand why they gave us which a hard time. We did not affect anyone’s round, but they still gave us a hard time having 2 T times and playing fast. Multiple staff said we were good any moving really fast. Just don’t see a need to be difficult at the beach in the summer.

Women are not respected or made to feel comfortable golfing at Renault. A group of us had a very bad experience there on Thursday, October 22, 2026. The “ambassador” aka ranger, at the course reprimanded us for being too slow and recommended that the group of men behind us, hit up on us, to move us along. First of all, we are women and do not hit as far as the men. Second of all, we are senior women, some with health issues. The “ambassador” also recommended that we hit up on the women in front of us to move them along. This “ambassador” was no ambassador. He was nasty and rude. At one point he made us skip a hole. We pay the same price as everyone else and would like to enjoy a relaxing round of golf. The fact that he was pressuring us only caused us to play badly. The final indignity was when the group of men behind us, shouted at us to “Get off the F-ing green. “ We have played at many other golf courses and have never been treated so poorly and so disrespectfully. We will never play at Renault again and will recommend to other women to avoid this course, as well.

I agree with Barbara… although the course is well maintained and reasonably priced it follows outdated GOLF Rules… “Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden.” Although the staff has no control over obnoxious players, there is no excuse for the rudeness of the course “ambassador” or management. I’ll be spending my money at other greens next season.

My sons and I played Sept 1 what a great course I didn't play too good but 2 of the boys had their best rounds to date. The bag drop guys were fun to deal with all in all we had a great round of golf can't wait to play again.
