The Course at Sewanee

Home to Men's & Women's Golf 
First Built: 1915
Redesigned: 2013 by Gil Hance, Golf Magazine’s 2009 Architect of the Year

9-hole course redesigned by Gil Hance; routing the same, new greens and fairways.

The Course at Sewanee was renovated by Gil Hanse in 2013 — Golf Magazine’s 2009 Architect of the Year.

While the original hole routing remains the same, Hanse has reimagined, redesigned and rebuilt almost every other aspect of the course—including all nine green complexes, challenging new bunkers, and a distinct set of alternate tees—while being ever mindful of the delicate ecosystem on the Cumberland Plateau. Standing on the reshaped tee of #5 The Edge, it is easy to see why Gil was commissioned to design the 2016 Olympic course in Rio de Janeiro and chosen to refashion the Blue Monster at the TPC in Doral, Fla.
