Sea Trail Resort Villas

Excellent course, staff extremely friendly. Pace of play is pretty quick. Greens are like glass

There are much better courses in the area for the price. Greens and fringes had crabgrass all over them. No range currently. Would take my money elsewhere. Layout was interesting.

New amenities are beautiful. Rough was really long. Large piles of grass in the rough making it difficult to find balls slowing down play. We were scolded by the ranger a few times, but finished our 18 right at 4 hours. Greens were inconsistent with many having fungus patches. Normally wouldn't complain, but for the cost per round, I would have expected better conditions. Doubt we ever go back.

A+ experience

Let me begin by saying I have played the Jones course at Sea Trail Plantation 20 or more times. The layout is wonderful with much variety. My friend had the Trail card which allowed a guest to play for a an additional fee. When he showed the Trail card, he received the Trail card fee, but I was charged 10 dollars extra than the guest rate. Regarding the course, the tee boxes and fairways were excellent. The bunkers needed sand and were not in good shape at all. The greens were extremely slow, they had not been mowed in quite a while and whoever was cutting the holes for the flags must have used a serrated blade. Every single cup was ragged on the outside of the edges all the way around. The next day, I went to the clubhouse along with my friend who had the Trail card and explained to the associate at the pro shop counter what happened regarding the extra charge the previous day. She was very receptive to the situation and offered me a discount for my next round. *Regarding pace of play, no Ranger was working the course. The foursome in front of us were very slow and did not offer to have us play through. No one was in front of them for several holes.

Fairways and tee boxes were decent. Greens were in poor shape. Many sand traps were more dirt, with an occasional tree root, than sand. There are definitely better options in the area.

93 degrees, didn’t allow personal coolers and never saw a cart girl! And the clubhouse is closed for renovations!!

Have not played this course in awhile. Afternoon round. Carts were the best. Pace was great. No waiting.

Weekend golf should have fresh pin placements.

Excellent and beautiful course. I always enjoy playing here. Staff are amazing, very friendly, and helpful. Greens were in great shape, even though they had been punched 3 weeks earlier.

Just two recommendations. First, please build a driving range. Second, please put better sand in the bunkers (was more dirt and hard).

This is the 3rd time playing this course. I have enjoyed it each time. We come down from Pennsylvania to play in North Carolina, for a couple weeks, and we always make sure to play Willard Byrd.

They have not been getting much rain down here, but I have to say that the fairways were excellent, and the greens were really good also.

The other thing I wanna mention, is their overall customer service. Bob, who was in charge of the carts, showed terrific customer service. He was so nice. He made sure that our carts were ready to go, and also at the end of the round, even though he was chatting with someone, he was nice enough to come over to our car and take our cart instead of having us drive it over to the cart return . What a joy to talk to, this is different from some other places. (Sandpiper Bay, I am talking about you!).

Just to give you a quick example, I tipped the cart guy over at Sandpiper $10 when we finished, because we were next to the last ones in. I told him we would be right back with the carts, and I appreciate him sticking around to let us finish our round. We started at 4:02, and came back in at 8. (My son and I played a scramble to finish faster). As we were getting our trash out of the cart, he came out of nowhere, and said, “I need to get out of here. I don’t have time to wait around, and I need this cart.” Fine. I had the other cart sitting there also, but I hurried up and took it back to him, which was only a matter of about 30 seconds later. Very disappointing in that type of customer service, considering that there was no cart available when we were to start our round. I didn’t get upset about that.

Overall, this is a very good course, and for the money it is also excellent. I highly recommend this course.

Course was in great shape, but they had a lot of rain and we were cart path only. Greens had been punched maybe 10 days ago and they were mostly healed up, except for a few spots on some holes.

Nobody around and 4 of us breezed thru the round. Great value and fun layout.

Once greens grow back it will be a 5 star but still 4 star right now
