For Her

At Renaissance, we believe in the importance of offering an equally rewarding club experience for ALL. That’s why we place absolutely no gender-based restrictions on playing golf at our club—from starting times and attending golf clinics to getting outfitted with top-rated gear and participating in tournaments. In fact, our female members participate in more golf tournaments than any other club in Massachusetts. Here, you can practice your game and socialize with your friends at our weekly Ladies Games. You can participate in a selection of both mixed and women-only annual tournaments, including the Ladies Renaissance Cup, Member/Member Championship, and the Women’s Invitational. And wait ‘til you see our women’s locker room—it’s spacious and fully loaded, just like the men’s. Our Golf Shop is stocked with the latest women’s apparel, too, so when you’re strutting down the fairway, you’ll always be on-trend. When you’re not killing it on the course, you can challenge a friend to a tennis match, attend a cooking class, or decompress in a yoga session. If you’re a busy mom, you’ll appreciate all the things on hand for your kids at Renaissance—from our summer kids’ camp to our gorgeous swimming pool with its own fun food wagon. We’ll help keep them busy so that you can enjoy doing what you want to do. With all this, it’s no wonder that over a third of our members are women. At Renaissance, we believe that you deserve an unparalleled, empowering club experience without all the red tape. We invite you to come for a visit and experience the Renaissance difference for yourself.

Chef Peter’s Summer Crab Cakes

These crab cakes are sure to be a home run with family and friends at your next summertime shindig.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

CRAB CAKE

• 1 lb jumbo lump crab (picked over to check for cartilage)
• 4 scallion, green only, minced, about ½ cup
• 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, dill)
• 1½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
• 4 tbsp unseasoned bread crumbs
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 1 egg

REMOULADE SAUCE 

• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp minced dill pickle
• 1 tbsp minced scallion
• 1 tbsp minced red onion
• 1 tbsp minced caper

Directions
Mix all ingredients in small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors marry.

1. Gently mix crab, scallion, herbs, Old Bay, bread crumbs and mayonnaise being careful not to break up crab. Season with salt and pepper and fold in egg. Mixture should just cling together, add more bread crumbs if necessary.
2. Divide crab cake into four equal portions. Shape into a fat round about 3 inches across and 1½ inches high. Put on baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes or up to 24 hours if needed.
3. For Cooking: Put ¼ cup flour on plate. Lightly dredge cakes in flour. Heat ¼ cup vegetable or canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Heat until hot but not smoking. Gently lay chilled cake in skillet. Pan fry until outside is crisp and golden brown, 4 to 5 minute per side.
4. Serve with remoulade sauce, your favorite salad, and crisp white wine

Enjoy with friends and a cold beverage of your choice!
