Cancellation/Refund Policy
- General Cancellations & Modifications
To ensure all golfers have access to the tee sheet, The Course at Sewanee requires a minimum of 24 hours notice to cancel or reduce the player count of any reservation.
- Group bookings of eight (8) or more players require a minimum of 72 hours notice for any cancellations or modifications.
- Cancellations made outside of these windows will receive a full refund to the original payment method.
- Cancellations or reductions made inside these windows will be charged 50% of the applicable green fee to the credit card on file.
- No-Show Policy
Failure to arrive for a scheduled tee time without prior notice (“No-Show”) will result in a 100% charge of the scheduled green fees to the credit card holding the reservation. If a booking party arrives with fewer players than reserved (e.g., a foursome arrives as a threesome), the booking holder will be charged the full green fee for the missing player(s). - Inclement Weather & Rain Checks
Refunds or rain checks are determined based on course playability, not personal comfort. If the course is officially closed by the Course Superintendent due to severe weather or lightning:
For 9 Hole Paid Customers
- Fewer than 4 holes completed: Players will receive a 9-hole rain check voucher valid for future play.
For 18 Hole Paid Customers
- Fewer than 4 holes completed: Players will receive a 18-hole rain check voucher valid for future play.
- 4-9 Holes Completed: Players will receive a 9-hole rain check voucher valid for future play.
- 9 or more holes completed: The round is considered complete, and no rain checks or refunds will be issued.
- Sewanee University Affiliates
Students, faculty, staff, and alumni must present a valid University ID or credentials at check-in to honor affiliate rates. Abuse of booking privileges, including repeated no-shows or late cancellations, will result in a temporary suspension of online booking privileges in addition to standard financial penalties.
