Maples at Sea Trail Golf Resort and Convention Center

I played both the Maples and Jones courses this week for the first time in nearly a decade. Jones was an easy course with minimal challenges. The greens were in very poor condition, though having gone through a heat wave it isn’t a wonder why.

Maples was in excellent shape all the way through, it is an enjoyable course with enough challenging features to keep you honest, while not overly difficult for the average golfer. We were the first group out and finished the course in 3.5 hours. It looked a lot more crowded on the early holes as we were leaving, so get out early.

The only complaint was the absence of a driving range (under construction at the time) and the lack of beverage/snack cart/surprisingly underwhelming amount of balls/products at the pro shop. The maples pro shop is a satellite from the main shop, which had significantly more

Course was solid. Greens were a little slower than you would think. Some of the tee boxes had quite a bit of crab grass. Snack bar was very limited, no hot dogs?! Overall, not too bad. I would play here again.

Great layout! Staff was super nice. Would definitely play it again.

Course was in great shape. Greens rolled well. Cart paths need improvement

The course is in great shape! The price to play was very reasonable. The greens, the fairways… better than ever.

Course and greens were in great condition. It’s not a top notch course compared to others in the area but I’d definitely play it again as it was in very good shape and budget friendly.. The one’s complaining about the cart paths are funny. Are there some bump and bad spots, yes. But it’s not the worse in the world. Are you there for a nice course or a cart path? Just watch where you’re driving. 🤡s The pics speak for themselves.

I played this course for the first time and was not disappointed. The staff was friendly and the greens were in excellent condition. Will definitely play again on my next vacation to Sunset Beach!

Decent layout, a couple of funky designed holes. With the GolfNow pricing and discounts this round was a great value. The fairways and greens are fine. The bunkers are mostly a mess. The cart paths are terrible but we tried to stay off them where we could. As far as I he golf experience itself goes the course is fun to play.

Had a great time on this course. The layout is challenging. The fairways in very good shape. Greens in great shape. Staff friendly. Cart paths rough but passable. Sand traps are natural beach sand. Highly recommend 👌 this course.

Love the layout of Maples Course. Overall great experience and greens were in good shape.

Staff was great as usual at all Sea Trail courses.

The only drawback is the condition of the cartpaths. They will beat you up !!

We will play the Maples Course again.

Beautiful layout but they are not maintaining the property, course is in ruff shape, the fairway grass is sparse and the ruff is ruff. We played in 3.5 hours and never saw another golfer. I feel we were charged way too much given the condition of the course.

Almost no sand in the bunkers making bunker shots totally in predictable.

The course staff was friendly and the greens and fairways were in good shape. But there is no driving range, so you get no chance to warm up, which matter a lot to me, as I am recovering from an injury and need very much to warm up before I play. The fairways were decent, not terrific but playable. But if you got off the fairways by more than a couple of feet the ground was in bad shape. While some may say "well just stay on the fairway", I think most average golfer must be able to make a few shots a round from the rough. In this case the gravel, sand, and tree roots, but not much grass made it difficult to do that. So from the fairways every time and the greens, IT's a good course and great value, but since mere mortals every often must hit from the rough, it loses a few points in rating.
