Sequoyah National Golf Club

This place is going to be VERY special. Historically, Sequoyah was great views, terrific layout, and absolutely hideous course maintenance. We went out today (7/10/2020) to figure out if the renovations will actually turn the place around. 15 holes were open, 3 holes were closed for renovation, and 9 holes have completed renovation. All of the new greens are complete, and they are smooth and beautiful. They are sinking huge $$ into the course. The renovation is being done under the direction of Robert Trent Jones II golf design company. All greens, fairways, and tees will be Zeon Zoysia grass. The fairways and tee boxes are being sodded, and the 9 renovated fairways are very nice. Fairways are cut a little high so as not to stress the new grass, but highly playable now. The ball sits up really nice. The re-designed bunkers are a beautiful thing. They are taking out a lot of them, re-designing the rest, and turning them into 'capillary concrete' bunkers. The new style bunkers are purported to cost a lot more, but the return on investment is 3 years based on MUCH less maintenance, resistance to 'wash-outs', and great playability for the golfer. I loved them. Very nice, consistent, and every one of them looked perfect. The downsides: We were cart path only today, and I think it will be most days given the new sod going in every day. They've clearly improved the drainage, but carts would quickly make a mess of new, expensive, sod. $65 to play 15 holes on a course that is half-way through its renovation is steep. There is no 'turn' at the clubhouse, and no food / drink service on the course. Pack your provisions accordingly. Would I play it again during renovation? I would! If you're a nerd like me and want to see the 'future' of golf bunkers, this is it. Greens are perfect. The renovated holes will give you a taste of how special this place is going to be in the very near future.

Course was in decent shape, did expect more for $65 a round. Found it rude for them to turn sprinklers on before we got off the hole and music being played by other golfers. Probably won't be back.

Very beautiful in great shape will be back

UN-REAL! The course is so beautiful, it's a must play and I can't wait to return.

Best views guaranteed!
