Southworth Purchases Acclaimed New England Golf Club Business partners David Southworth and Joseph Deitch recently purchased Renaissance Golf Club on Boston's North Shore for $9 Million. The Club opened in 2006 to great acclaim, including being selected by Golf Inc. Magazine as the year's 2nd best new golf development in America. "Other than the Liberty National Golf Club, I have never seen a course built with such quality and attention to detail as Renaissance," said Southworth.   Renaissance is the first ever "signature" design from renowned golf architect Brian Silva. David and Joe finalized their purchase of the high-end private golf club from Fairway Renaissance LLC of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on February 28, 2008. With the course finished and already considered one of the finest new layouts in New England, Southworth's team is moving full steam ahead on constructing a Clubhouse facility fitting of the caliber of the Club along with completing other key amenities and upgrades to the property that are sure to make Renaissance one of the region's most sought after memberships. "Our plan is to begin building a full-service clubhouse befitting the exceptional quality of this course as soon as possible and to have the club remain private," says Southworth.   There are currently about 100 members at the club.   In addition to maintaining Renaissance as a private club, both Southworth and Deitch expect the facility to complement their existing business.   "In business we have always focused on delivering the highest level of service possible while at the same time cultivating a community which supports and nourishes everyone involved.   At the end of the day our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction is what makes us proud.   Renaissance is a perfect platform for such an endeavor," said Deitch  The picturesque par-4 seventh hole at Renaissance Golf Club At Renaissance Golf Club, the overarching mission is to recreate the golf experience of 100 years ago.   What sets Renaissance apart from other private golf clubs is the rare convergence of classic golf, golf traditions and a golf course design inspired by the great Scottish links of the 19th century and landmark American layouts of the 1920's but with today's modern technology in mind.   Located on Boston's North Shore, Renaissance Golf Club is an 18-hole private golf club centered on honoring the traditions and spirit of the ancient game of golf and retro design and signature, for which course architect Brian Silva is renowned.   The 7,161-yard, par-72 course also features extensive practice facilities including a Short Game Area with multiple green complexes, Practice Fairway, Practice Green and Pool Facility.    Two New Appointments at Southworth Golf Construction Roberto Correa has joined Southworth Golf Construction as Project Manager to head up major projects in Fajardo, Puerto Rico.  Roberto has spent 34 years at Rio Mar Country Club as the Club's Superintendent and is considered one of the top superintendents in the Caribbean.  "We have had the pleasure to know and work with Roberto since 1994 and are thrilled that he has joined our team.  We welcome his experience in construction and his extensive knowledge of turf grass.              Most importantly, we value Roberto's standing within the industry and his contributions to golf here in Puerto Rico " said Greg Sherwood, President, Southworth Golf Construction.   With construction well underway at El Conquistador Estates in Fajardo, Puerto Rico , Andy Cornatzer, has been moved to the Las Bambuas Golf Expansion Project in Gurabo, serving as Property's Project Manager.  Andy's career at Southworth Golf Construction began when he served as Project Manager for the 18-hole renovation and 9-hole addition for the Arnold Palmer Designed Starr Pass Country Club in Tucson , Arizona .  From there, Andy joined Southworth Golf Construction in Jersey City, New Jersey working on the construction of the Bob Cupp/Tom Kite designed Liberty National Golf Club, followed by duties at the Costa Caribe Golf & Country Club in Ponce before moving on to El Conquistador Estates in Fajardo.  "Andy has been instrumental in the success of many of our projects and has proven himself to be a very valuable team member.  We're delighted his talents can move on to our next project," said Greg Sherwood.
