Great Course

Loved the course and layout. My only issue is we had to wait out a couple of rainstorms so the cart kept freaking out and telling us our pace of play was slow. However this is a minor annoyance and we absolutely had a great experience.

Very solid course. Did not play the back 9. The starter, the pro shop attendant and the cart attendant at the end were SUPER friendly. One guy at the beginning working the carts was kinda grumpy and rushed to get us out and we weren't ready. Our team time was 20 minutes later and normally I would like to get out early but we werent settled and even the starter was confused on why he did it. The course is in very good condition. Friendly off tee, greens I think would be super fast and nicer , but there was aeration going on. Sand was very good, decent design, we will be back again.

Great track for a vacation round

Came to Sunset Beach for a quick beach trip and found this fun track. Drought has been bad up here so fairways were dry and grass wasn’t ideal but certainly playable. Greens were in decent shape, cart paths weren’t as bad as some of the reviews I read. Staff was great - tons of people playing so front 9 was slow but still finished under 5 hours. Would recommend playing - not a long course but holes are not easy.

Fun course

Really fun course with a great layout. A little tough getting around and finding tee boxes. The greens were a little rough on the edges due to the drought. Lots of wildlife.

Great Condition

Sea Trail did some work to the Maples Course. The Course was in great condition with the greens being perfect and rolling true. A nice mix of holes. I would definitely play it again.

Greens greens greens

Heard so much good stuff about this course and was excited to play. It’s evident they’ve been struggling with water. The course was super dry and played that way. The greens were in horrible shape. Large dead spots on nearly every green. It appeared like they were trying to save them by not mowing them as there were all shaggy at best. After playing Leopards Chase the day prior, we were all greatly disappointed. Glad we got the “hot deal” and didn’t pay full price.

Lots of winter kill

We played this course in the fall. Conditions were perfect and the course was as well. However, winter took its toll on the greens. Lots of winter kill. I would be hesitant to pay full price. We got a discount with a special card. When the weather warms up and the ground gets above 70 degrees to greens should come back quickly, unless they are planning a renovation. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly; even the ranger was helpful. Love playing here, just waiting on the greens to improve.

Enjoyable

Course was in very good shape. Fairways excellent, tee box’s good, greens very good but I started at 8am and greens had a fairly heavy due on them but they rolled well and gradually got faster to a nice speed as they dried out. First time I played it since renovation and glad I did.

Corporate Greed is Ruining this Course

Have played this course many times over the years and am sad to say that this will probably be the last time due to management decisions to ruin this course to convert every inch of the property into brand new Ryan homes put up in record time. While I’m sure this decision has benefited sea trails financially the course has completely lost its character. Holes that used to be protected by large pines have been cut down and made soulless and are now covered with cookie cutter homes with no tree cover. Even the new clubhouse renovation seems soulless, looks to be modeled after a corporate office and not a golf course clubhouse. The greens were in disrepair on the jones course but apparently they are replacing these next month (wish I would’ve known that before booking my round). On a side note the new golf carts are really nice.
