Jones at Sea Trail Golf Resort and Convention Center

The day I played this course, it had rained the night before, course was cart path only, all 4 wheels on paths at all times. This was reasonable because a lot of the course was too wet to walk on. In my opinion, the course should have been closed for the day.

Layout is nice but course was very wet due to heavy rain the night before and cart path only.

Certainly would like to return when dry.

Played this in early February. The course had not been touched in at least a week. Tee boxes were uncut. Fairways were overun with weeds. Greens were a mix of several different grasses and weeds, more weed then grass. It was wet, which I know that is out of the hands of the people at Sea Trail, but other courses nearby were at least being taken care of. The Byrd course at Sea Trail was in very good shape, while the Maples course was closed all together. The maintenance people we saw, which were not many, were busy picking up pine cones, not cutting greens The guy behind the counter when I checked in told me what a wonderful experience we were about to have, a flat out lie. When we finished, I went back to talk about the experience, but he had left for the day. To complete an overall terrible experience, the restaurant and Bob the waiter were werse then the course we had just played. I have another trip in 2 weeks to Sea Trail, but we have dropped the Jones course and the Maples course because of the conditions and the people. After that trip, we will not return. Not worth the 1 star I had to give.

Course opens with along par 4, closes with a long par 5. Winding through the Sea Trails development.

We started out the day with the first tee time because we were on vacation with our families and needed to get back following golf. We were told that with us being the first group off that we needed to play fast as we lead the pace of play for the day. We play rather fast and had no problem with this. The beach had recently received a descent amount of rain so the course was cart path only. I've seen this before at the beach, BUT I hadn't seen a course with such POOR drainage ANYWHERE! This back 9 holes were a mud pit. It was absolutely terrible. Also due to this condition the tee boxes and around had barely been cut. Grass had grown up fairly high in places. The worse part was the amount of mosquito's around this area. It was miserable.

With all of this being noted above there is still more to add to this giving this course even worse ratings. So we started first, but the course double stacked times for the day so they started our foursome on the back nine. We finished our 9 in just over 2 hours which they told us that we played too fast and that we had to wait on a foursome that was starting on the front nine in front of us. BUT WE JUST PLAYED NINE HOLES, WHY ARE WE NOW HAVING TO WAIT ON A GROUP JUST BEGINNING??? We waited a few minutes as the 6 starters they had fumbled around with other groups at the bag drop and the first tee box was still unoccupied. Finally we demanded to know why we played nine and they were starting a group in front of us. They said that they double booked, but that group should be there in a minute. They finally let us go in front of that group. We still caught another group that they began as well.

I'll never go back here unfortunately.

Excellent course. Breakfast buffet and lunch buffet were great. Staff was very friendly and the bartender was very fun and friendly after the round. Had a very enjoyable experience.

Greens were tough but seems to be a common problem in the area so didnt take away from a great experience at the course.

The course ost it’s greens. Had some make shift greens.

We were excited to play at this course and did enjoy the course. My complaint is the cart guy was the most unhelpful, unfriendly person which made us rethink if we wanted to play. We tried to ask him directions and asked him where to go. No help what so ever. Once we got over that the ladies in the snack bar where very helpful and charming. The staff in the pro shop told us of the conditions. We had the course to ourselves so we really had a great time. Got done in 4 hours. Not bad.

OK, I want to try and give a level review of the course. With regards to the conditions, I do with the lady in the pro shop would have told me about the conditions beforehand. I would have played anyway, but I wouldn't have been surprised when I got to the first green. The average conditions were fine. I think one tee was pretty beat up. The fairways were in solid condition as well, maybe not quite equal to Barefoot and TPC, but not far off. Now...the greens. Some are actually fine. There were two temporary greens, one green had been replaced and one was I believe in process. I suspect 5 or 6 other greens will need a complete reconstruction with another couple in dire straits. The greens that made it through the winter OK are actually quite good. I would wonder why the Jones course had such extensive damage when the Maples course had none, but that's neither here nor there.

The layout is really quite good. Somewhat standard Jones with the elevated greens. But good variety in the holes and a generally solid course. I'd recommend it to someone, as long as they called in advance to get the condition of the greens for the time being. I do suspect communication could be better with golfers.

The fact that anyone with a sane mind would advise you to golf here this year is unbelievable. That's what happened to some friends and I when we booked a package golf getaway. The broker who took care of setting up the accommodations and securing tee times put us at Oyster Bay Resort and had us start our golf rounds at the Sea Trails courses.

I'm jumping to conclusions, but if he had seen the conditions of these courses, and still let us golf there, this guy is borderline insane. Every single putt took at least two bounces across the green towards the cup. It made it darn near impossible to putt, and added at least 10-20 strokes to all our scores.

If you enjoy being lied to, or like to feel frustrated and angry feel free to book a tee time here. If not, play as far away as possible. On second thought, you could drive a few more miles down the road and golf on a very well manicured course. Whatever you do, just don't golf here.

Came down on a golf trip and the course is in TERRIBLE condition. Not only did they not warn us that the course was in such bad shape but while checking in they were telling people who were calling in that there were only 2 or 3 bad greens. Sucks that they are totally dishonest about the state of the course. As part of our package we were to get free breakfast and lunch, they moved us to play other courses because the Jones and Byrd courses were so bad. We had to pay out of pocket for the meals we should have gotten for free. Whether you are booking a trip here or just looking for a decent track while on vacation stay away!

I've been playing golf for 35 years and these were the worst greens I have ever played on. Course should be closed for the year until greens are redone. Could have been a beautiful course as fairways were in excellent shape.

Over half of the greens are mud and junk worst golf course I have ever played in my life

Winter was hard this year and all green of this course are affected. Pace of play : first nine ok , second nine: long waiting and no management .

Beautiful layout and beautiful communauty. 30 minutes in car from Myrtle beach ....

Brought 12 guys down. I recommend anyone thinking about playing soon look for another course. Decent layout but greens basically rolled dirt spray painted green. At least fairways had grass. 2 temporary greens. Staff seemed indifferent. Blamed bad weather for shape of greens. The other 5 courses we played had no issues with their greens. They did offer free replay but even with that it was very disappointing.

Total Rip Off. The greens were horrible. I would not recommend this course to anyone. The pace of play was extremely slow. The staff was very confused from the pro shop to the starters. Very sad that they are charging people that much money when the course is in that shape.
