Carved into the heart of the Cumberland Plateau, The Course at Sewanee is a testament to the enduring appeal of understated, classic golf. The rugged terrain, dominated by natural rock outcroppings and dramatic elevation changes, lends the course a unique character. Originally designed in the early 20th century, the course underwent a significant renovation in the early 2000's led by Gil Hanse. The redesign honors the spirit of the original layout while enhancing its playability and visual appeal, the routing emphasizes strategic play over brute force, favoring those who can navigate the undulating fairways and multi-tiered greens with finesse. Locals will tell you that the ever-present wind adds another layer of complexity. While not on the major championship circuit, The Course at Sewanee holds a special place in the hearts of its members and the broader Sewanee community, where students and town locals alike are permitted to play. The course, as well as the campus, is home to the University of the South, an Episcopalian college. As such, it maintains a deep connection to the university's history and traditions, serving as a gathering place for generations of students, faculty, and alumni.
