Shot maker course

Like the layout. Makes you use a lot of different clubs; not just a driver + wedge course.

Staff was great, but their POS system was quite slow.

Greens putted true; but cart paths need attention.

Not bad

Overall, fun round. Fairways 7/10, Putting Greens 7/10, Tee Boxes 7/10, Sand Traps 0/10. Don’t hit the ball in the traps, haven’t been raked in weeks so they’re hard with rain craters. Other than that, the course was nice for the value.

Off to a poor start

We arrived in plenty of time to warm up, and we paid for a bucket of balls. But the guys at the cart station didn't help us much, and when we drove over to the driving range, they said we weren't supposed to park at it (there were no signs). We had to move the cart, but then they told us that we were supposed to be at the hole, although we were still 20+ minutes to tee time. As a result, we didn't get warmed up. Also, after they rushed us to the first hole, it was all jammed up. If they had paced the starts corrected, we wouldn't have waited for the groups ahead at each hole. When we played this course before, we got much better treatment.

Great Course, well maintained.

I had a great day to play. Even though it rained during the night the course was in great shape. The greens rolled nice and the course was in good condition. The layout is a challenging and would like to play the other two courses.

One of the standout features of Sea Trail is its stunning natural beauty. Surrounded by lush trees and picturesque landscapes, the course offers a serene and tranquil setting that's perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The course layout is thoughtful and engaging, with each hole presenting a unique and enjoyable challenge.

Throughout my round, I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail that the grounds keeping team had put into maintaining the course. Will definitely be back.

Sad to see

My wife and I played and the first thing we noticed was that the parking lot was not very full, like it normally has been on our many visits to play. The pro shop was almost bare, and the bar and restaurant apparently have been closed. The course was in the worst condition we have ever seen on any course that we have played. We play a lot of golf and have played this course numerous times. It looks like they don't have a greens keeper. They were borderline unplayable with tons of weeds and huge bare spots. I think we counted three greens that were reasonably acceptable. The bunkers had not been raked and the mowing was inconsistent. When my wife went inside at the turn to get something to drink she was directed by the pro shop attendant to a drink machine since there was no longer a bar or restaurant. She mentioned the poor playing conditions and he said he had heard that. Typically when a golf course has some playability issues due to maintenance, bad weather, etc, the pro shop will let you know before you tee off and maybe even offer a discount . All in all, this was sad to see as we have included this course in our rotation for many years.

First and Last

This was my first time playing this course. I had high hopes of as I have played many of the courses directly adjacent to it. I was very disappointed in the conditions the greens were horrendous, scorched earth, all over in the fairways in the rough on the Greens. Tee boxes unkempt. Pace of play was fine but we were the first group out so I’m unsure how the pace usually is. Played another course the next day for a few more dollars and got much more enjoyment for the money. We won’t be back on this track as there are many others nearby that outshine it. Not sure about the other two courses on the complex, but this one’s pro shop was lacking. Not very good amenities. First and last time at the Maples Course.

Sad Conditions For A Resort Course

Considering this is a golf resort, these conditions were atrocious. Big burnout spots on the fairways, tee boxes that had been cut but were the length of light rough (particularly problematic on par threes, bump and inconsistent greens. With the deal, the price was not bad, but I wouldn’t pay more than about $35 to play here again. Hard to enjoy the Willard Byrd design when it isn’t well kept.

Sea Trail Byrd

Traveling for work and wanted to get in a round. The Byrd course was a great choice. The staff was very friendly, i arrived early and was able to tee off once ready. it was 90 degrees so pace of play was great. I enjoyed the layout. Nice doglegs with well placed bunkers but enough room that errant shots still left opportunity to score. Greens in good shape and rolled well. Would play again.
