Byrd at Sea Trail Golf Resort and Convention Center

My first time playing the Byrd course. Sea Trail has 3 courses; I have previously played the Maples. I am 62 years old, and play to about a 14 handicap. Played the white tees, which were about 6,150 yards. As a short hitter in the winter months, with soft (but not wet) fairways, this is about max distance for me. Course layout is good with a mix of doglegs, several par 4's between 375 and 390, and some par-5's yielding birdie opportunities. The par3 holes are good as well, with several that play over the corners of lakes. This is a solid, if not spectacular course. I would play it again as the rack rate in January is reasonable.

My wife and I were vacationing in MB for the month and this was our first round. Having not played for a few months, we found the course played a bit tough because of the tightness of the holes as a lot of them were tree lined. However, the real bad part was the sewage smell around the 13-15th holes. On top of that, the flies were all over us and they bite. We tried playing these holes but gave us and just drove through until the smell was gone and the flies tolerable. I think the staff should have said something before we even teed off and maybe gave us an option of playing one of the other courses. Not a course I would rush back to play.

Holes provide many challenges, particularly with green side bunkers and plan placements. Played cart path only and greens were good and fairways wet. Would play again.

Course was nice

Greens much to slow

Fairways good

Great course for the price

The morning was somewhat cool as we set out but it progressively got warmer during the day. It was pretty quiet at the course so we could complete our round in 3h15. We like the layout of the course and it offers some challenges, including a few forced carries that are manageable. Conditions were excellent for this time of the year. Crows stole part of our lunch while we were putting on #11, so keep an eye on those guys as well as the fox squirrels!

Good course with good pace of play on a cool day

The staff is friendly, the layout is avg to a little above avg, and there was a beverage cart that came around once on each nine. The cart paths are on very poor condition, tee boxes and some fairway areas are thin, and they are heavily watering the new winter rye causing some very, very soggy areas on a few fairways and green approaches. Seems like too much watering in places. Do not expect to play bump and run. Winter over seeding on greens is growing nicely though.

Wife loved the course as forward tees were very fair to ladies. The course was in good shape after all the recent weather damage.

The course is challenging with nice conditions. Front of the greens very wet et too soft, ball plugs each hole. Green very good, a bit long.

The conditions were average. The greens were not cut and should have been. It hadn't rained for a while and the course still showed areas with puddles in spots. The sand traps were not in great shape. There was hardly any sand in all of the traps. This was disappointing. The layout is great but there should have been more maintenance done. For the price, I can't really complain but there were others who paid a lot more to play the same conditions.

Although the course was dry, the greens had not been mowed in days. The bunkers, most, were not repaired or raked since the hurricane....The rough also had not been mowed in days....Although it was a Monday we saw no one working on the course, not even removing debris from the hurricane.

Cart paths in desperate need of repair/replacement.

Soggy course = cart path only = slow round.

Greens were SLOW.

Course attendants were pleasant, even apologetic about course conditions.

Our regular foursome took trip to Myrtle Beach area where we stayed and played at Sea Trail Resort. Weather was kinda rough with rain in and out through the weekend.Heavy at times. Course was cart path only, which was completely understandable.That being said, we had a great time as we played the Jones and Byrd course. The Byrd course was tough, challenging, and with course being wet played long. Course drained well but a lot of rain. Even with the rain the course was in great condition from fairway to green. Traps were tough but packed hard with rain standing in some. Would definitely play there again hoping it would be drier.

My father in law and I really enjoyed this course. Friendly staff and the course was in great condition. We will definitely be playing here again.

Played as a twosome and the golfers on the course allowed us to play through 3 times and we finished in 3:15 despite playing cart path only. Was a really enjoyable day.

Fun and fair layout in very nice condition.

Excellent staff that is very helpful and friendly.

The course was in great shape and greens roll true. It is challenging and you need to focus on shot making to score well but not punitive if you remain in play. The pace of play was outstanding played under 4 hrs and will play again

no warning from the pro shop that the greens were being sanded that day. and the bunkers were not raked and needed sand.

Played the next day after a huge storm. Course drains great a few wet spot but not bad at all after all the rain. Greens where still pretty quick with the weather. Great food in the snack bar. Would play again.
