The Course at Sewanee

We’d go to school here based on the quality of the course at Sewanee alone! What a setting!?! Wow. What a treat this ridge top gem is to play and for bargain prices IMO. Wonderful staff and facilities all around. Nothing not to like. Cliffside holes get the press but par 4 8th is one of greatest par 4s in golf. Gil Hanse public courses don’t grow as on trees. Play it

This course is, as said by multiple people in my party, a hidden gem. I visited with a group of PGA professionals and they had a great time playing the course as scratch golfers. Each hole had a different unexpected layout. I played from the forward tees and as a girl had trouble on one of the par 3s which was playing 165 yards uphill with the wind-quite the challenge, yet I also had a driveable par-4. Overall we loved the course and pro shop area, but I had some issues in the bar/restaurant area. Obviously it is a small place so they don’t have everything, but I ordered the “Superfood Salad” and I got something entirely different. There was no arugula (instead iceberg lettuce), no avacado, and quinoa seemed half cooked. They added in grapes, day old pineapple, watermelon, and melon chunks- clearly from a fruit salad platter. This was NOT on the menu and if I would have known this is what I was getting, I would have not ordered it at all. I am allergic to both grapes and pineapple so this was not appreciated. I am still giving 5 stars for the golf course but noting that restaurant needs a simpler menu & some extra help

This might be the best golf experience I've had in a while. From Matt at the front desk to the driving range to the immaculate putting and chipping greens to the bar - and I haven't even mentioned the course yet. This Gil Hanse-refurbished 9-hole track is a complete joy, managing to hit that sweet spot so beloved of Alistair McKenzie - to be both challenging to the better player and fun for the deep amateur. Practice putting before you start. I was on the first hole, a par 5, in regulation - only to four-putt. The turf was so springy, the air so breezy and light, that I did not care one bit.
