Perfect weather

Good round of golf

During periods of rain Sewells Point is a good choice due to the drainage. When most courses are cart path Sewells will most likely be 90 degrees. It is also a good walking course. Which is what I normally do when I play there.

Punched Greens and overgrown fairway

Course is usually in good shape

They punched the greens and didn’t mention it at all when checking in.

Home course

I play here regularly. Pro shop is well stocked. Bermuda greens are usually in really good condition minus people not fixing ball marks. Practice area is pretty large. Food is decent and priced fair. Only complaint would be you can’t hit driver or woods on the range.

I play a lot of courses around town, including down in North Carolina. This was one the best conditions I’ve seen, especially the tee boxes. Kudos to the maintenance crew

Stacked on top of each other!

We started as a twosome, were made to pair to make a foursome. Appeared that tee times were <5 minutes apart. Tee boxes were stacked up the entire round. The course was well maintained, and the staff were very pleasant.

Beautiful, old school course

Played in a charity tournament for Granby HS golf team. The course was in great shape all around. The greens were pristine and rolled true. My only complaint was a few tee boxes were so hard I couldn’t get my tee in the ground. It’s a short course especially from the senior tees. Good value. They also have a good practice area for chipping and putting. The range is rather short and they don’t allow drivers or other woods to be used.

Well maintained and good people working here. Greens are a little rough and teeboxes need watering , difficult to stick tees in the ground.

Not great

The course is not ready to play, no grass in the fairways, greens not rolling true. Driving range looks tired. Disappointing experience

An average course when you want to get a quick round in

First time playing this course. Didn't know that it's a military base course. Staff are extremely friendly! Course could be better. Some of the tee boxes devoid of grass. Sometimes I couldn't tell if I was on the fairway or the rough. On 18, I teed off and my drive hit the fairway and a cloud of dust cans up. I will consider this as "early in the season " conditions. But I would come back here again if in town.
