The Greens at Renton is a 27-hole facility tucked just outside Simcoe, known for its variety, pace, and rural charm. Each of the three nines—Red, White, and Blue—offers a distinct rhythm and can be combined into multiple 18-hole configurations, giving regulars endless replay value.
The design uses the natural contours of the land beautifully. Fairways rise and fall gently through open countryside and wooded stretches, while water hazards appear just often enough to make you think. The greens are large, smooth, and quick, rewarding confident putting. The Red nine is slightly more forgiving, while the Blue and White layouts introduce tighter driving lanes and a few risk-reward moments that define good rounds from great ones.
Off the course, the clubhouse and restaurant provide a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It’s a favorite for leagues, tournaments, and stay-and-play groups visiting the Lake Erie region. The staff maintain the property with care, and it shows—conditions stay consistent right through late fall.
If you’re after a full-day golf experience with variety and small-town hospitality, The Greens at Renton checks every box.
