Byrd at Sea Trail Golf Resort and Convention Center

Could not find ball because of all the pine needles. But other than than had a great day.

Like the layout. Makes you use a lot of different clubs; not just a driver + wedge course.
Staff was great, but their POS system was quite slow.
Greens putted true; but cart paths need attention.

We arrived in plenty of time to warm up, and we paid for a bucket of balls. But the guys at the cart station didn't help us much, and when we drove over to the driving range, they said we weren't supposed to park at it (there were no signs). We had to move the cart, but then they told us that we were supposed to be at the hole, although we were still 20+ minutes to tee time. As a result, we didn't get warmed up. Also, after they rushed us to the first hole, it was all jammed up. If they had paced the starts corrected, we wouldn't have waited for the groups ahead at each hole. When we played this course before, we got much better treatment.

OVER ALL CONDITION OF THE COURSE WAS GOOD GRASS CLIPPINGS EVERYWHERE IN THE ROUGH. TWO OF THE GREENS HAD SOME BAD SPOTS DUE TO THE WEATHER BUT ARE HEALING NICELY.

I had a great day to play. Even though it rained during the night the course was in great shape. The greens rolled nice and the course was in good condition. The layout is a challenging and would like to play the other two courses.

One of the standout features of Sea Trail is its stunning natural beauty. Surrounded by lush trees and picturesque landscapes, the course offers a serene and tranquil setting that's perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The course layout is thoughtful and engaging, with each hole presenting a unique and enjoyable challenge.

Throughout my round, I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail that the grounds keeping team had put into maintaining the course. Will definitely be back.

Considering this is a golf resort, these conditions were atrocious. Big burnout spots on the fairways, tee boxes that had been cut but were the length of light rough (particularly problematic on par threes, bump and inconsistent greens. With the deal, the price was not bad, but I wouldn’t pay more than about $35 to play here again. Hard to enjoy the Willard Byrd design when it isn’t well kept.

Traveling for work and wanted to get in a round. The Byrd course was a great choice. The staff was very friendly, i arrived early and was able to tee off once ready. it was 90 degrees so pace of play was great. I enjoyed the layout. Nice doglegs with well placed bunkers but enough room that errant shots still left opportunity to score. Greens in good shape and rolled well. Would play again.

The course was in great condition and the overall layout is amazing. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to satisfied with their round of golf.

We have played here numerous times over the last few years and normally found the experience enjoyable. Greens have not been in great condition lately but are normally adequate. Now they are absolutely terrible (borderline unputtable). Also, the overall course conditions were poor. The greens were so bad that we won’t be back for a long time if ever.

I've played the Byrd course dozens of times during my visits over 22 years to Sunset Beach. It's a good course that was in good shape considering the heat. Most greens were playable but not great. Very disappointed there is not a driving range (due to construction to build a house on every conceivable inch of available space) and the chipping green was definitely not maintained. They don't tell you this when you book. The guys loading the bags were terrific but the gentleman inside could use some customer service training. We played in the mid-afternoon heat when nobody was on the course. I payed for 2 and had two under the age of 16 (who are free based on their policy) and he kept grilling me about their ages. Also didn't have many answers to questions except "I'm just an Indian around here". He was what he was. I'll play here again because it's convenient, but Sea Trail use to put such a high priority on customer service and customer satisfaction and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. It's disappointing. I experienced wonderful customer service at both Panthers Run and Aberdeen in the same week.

No water coolers at all on the course. The tee boxes were not mowed and literally 2 inches long. Entire course grass was long. Greens were so small and slowwww. The cart path was so bumpy and in disrepair you are better off not using it at all. Inside staff were super friendly but outside not so much. Lastly no driving range or chipping area

Good layout. The greens have been punched and lots of bare spots. I believe for the condition of course they should lower the price.
