Booking always a question. Direct or through GolfNiwto get best rates.

Reviews I read weren’t great but found them to be crabby golfers I’m guessing.

Staff was friendly but a little busy loading a “ lot” of carts

We played the Byrd course this year with high expectations due due it's renovation last year. Unfortunately we were disappointed in several fairways were burnt out and the greens were not in the shape I would expect for being redone last year.

I was in town visiting family and they were busy so I booked an early afternoon tee time. Cart path only, expected. The staff was nice, starter gave me a cup of ice water and said there was no water on the course, not thrilled about that. Greens, layout, tee boxes, carts and paths good. I did not like the fairways, very sparse except near the greens. Soft and squishy due to the rain full of the furrows and strings of dead grass that the rain caused. I’ll sample the other Sea Trail courses before I come back here.

Fun course playing with a couple good guys

Course was in good shape for all the rain and the only bad thing was it was cart path only for the whole course

Definitely will be back good in nice condition. Greens rolled nicely.

This course while beautifully maintained and aesthetically pleasing has many flaws.

There is no yardage on the course or GPS on the carts to help you determine distances to the holes. Both my plane partner and I became frustrated, especially because it was cartpath only. They just mowed and grass clippings everywhere which impacted balls and also was just messy. Staff was dismissive and not very pleasant to deal with from the checkout guy to the starter to the guy checking me in. All seemed as if I was a bother to them. The tea boxes were not always level and it was difficult at times to find a place to keep the ball level with my feet.

Finally, if you’re going out as the first teetime and play quickly, Do not think you’re going to be done in three hours. They stagger back nine teetimes as well to pack the course as much as possible and I had to wait 30 minutes between my front nine in my back.

Overall, very disappointing course management, it is a nice looking course

Nice course layout. Fairways are wide, good condition. Greens had some bare spots, particularly around periphery, but seemed fine within 25 feet of hole. Sand traps were hard, not raked, really not much sand. One of the biggest problems is that there is NO water to drink on the course. No coolers, no fountains. And it was HOT AF that day. We saw the beverage cart twice, on number 3 and on number 16. The bathrooms are locked. No one told us the code was printed on flag position card. Nor were we told of no water on course. Thankfully we had a cooler. We had a good time, but I think there are other courses in the area which a much better value.

The greens are so fast but roll true. Impossible pin placements. Ball stopped at hole and rolled 9 feet down hill. Crazy! Course is in great shape.
