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 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.

The Course at Sewanee Sewanee, Tennessee Part 1 Holes 1-5 Warning: This is a nine hole course that can be played in many different ways. You must bring your imagination to play well here. In 2013, Gil Hanse was brought in to renovate. He kept the original routing but definitely turned it into a must play stop. He firmed it up, reworked all the green complexes, and threw in the visual stimulation to think about all those wicked hazards. Depending on what tee set you chose, you could be playing a par 4 or 5 on the same hole. Depending on which way the wind is blowing, it could be an uphill battl…

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”…

An absolute hidden Gem, I’ve never seen such an interesting 9 holes of golf. Risk and Reward. It’s a must play. The staff in the clubhouse are as nice as you’ll get anywhere in the world. Thanks for the game guys!

Great course to play just 45 minutes south of Murfreesboro. This course is super fun to play. Greens are immaculate. Will definitely return soon.

This is a hidden gem. On our way to Sweetens Cove we decided to try it out and was not disappointed. It is in good condition, and has beautiful views. Stop and play it.

This is a top 3 course in Tennessee. Very tough, but they keep conditions in pristine shape and you get great views from the par 3s of the Middle Tennessee valley. This is an easy substitute for Sweeten's cove and I actually like this course better. Can make an easy weekend out of it stay on the mountain!

Beautiful well maintained 9 hole golf course in middle Tennessee. We played 36 holes in one day and every 9 holes felt like a different course somehow.

The course is in great shape. They are still working on a few bunkers, but overall, as a nine hole course, this is a must play. Very friendly staff. Can't wait to go back.
