Great Layout

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.

First Time Playing

Good course, flat terrain.

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!

Donald Ross for $15

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 Golf Course

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.

Sewells Point

Course was in excellent condition, notably the greens. They were quick but well maintained. Bunkers, tee boxes and fairways also great! Not a particularly long or difficult course but one of the best courses for the money. Got a great deal on GolfNow!

Great Donald Ross course

Wonderful layout and great value. Course is in OK shape, but the Ross design is great. Greens were very good, fairways and tee boxes alternated between fine and a bit rough. The very mature trees could use some trimming to remove dead and overhanging branches. Overall a nice hidden gem in Hampton Roads.
