Sewells Point Golf Course

Had a great time playing this course. The course itself was in okay shape. The greens were good overall and fairways/tee boxes were so-so due to the course still in winter hibernation. However, for $30 with a cart, I can't complain. The course is relatively flat and is pretty easy if you stay out of the trees. Therein lies the problem, every hole with the exception of 2 are tree lined. If I hit the fairway the I got par or better, if I hit it in the trees I got bogey or worse. I wish I had played this course early summer while in prime condition. Due to the fact that I played on a Monday and it was raining most of the day the course was barren. I ended up playing 27 holes, the front nine once and back nine twice. I shot 35/40/39 in about 3 and half hours. Recorded my 75 for the first 18.

First time playing course. Secured a hot deal and arrive red early. Pro shop staff were accommodating and let me tee off 45 minutes early. Donald Ross layout was outstanding and has held up to test of time. Greens were in great shape for mid February.. Would highly recommend.

This was my first time playing a golf course outside of southern PA. I was utterly surprised by the flat terrain. The holes are differentiated by bunkers and water only. I miss the hills and natural terrain of southern PA. Awesome first experience on Bermuda grass though!

Great course - very good condition given the time of the year.

Staff is super friendly and helpful.

Will come again.

Great layout. Greens in great shape, very fast, and lots of break. A couple of tee boxes were thin, otherwise good shape. Used my GolfNow hot deals and another discount to play for $15. Highly recommended!

Sewell's Point is a neat little Donald Ross design at the entrance to the Norfolk International Terminal South Gate and run by the Navy. It has a nice practice area with a couple of putting chipping greens and a driving range. The staff is friendly and the cart fleet was in good shape. The course itself is a typical Ross design. It is pretty flat, owing to it's location, and there isn't much trouble to be found off the tee. Fairways are generous and the rough is not penal. The greens are all pushed up, and most slope from back to front. On and around the greens are where the challenge is posed on this course. Water only comes into play on two holes, #2 and #11. Pace of play was great. I got around the front 9 in just over an hour, and the two groups I caught on the back both let me play through.
