Sea Trail Resort Villas

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.

The course was in great condition and the overall layout is amazing. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to satisfied with their round of golf.

The course has a great layout but the greens need alot of work

I used to play the Jones regularly and thought it was one of the best area courses. What a disappointment to find the inconsistent bumpy greens and poorly maintained bunkers. Fairways and tee boxes were okay. The greens were also only about 70% their original size as the fringe has clearly been allowed to overtake the greens surfaces over the years.

I won’t be back unless the greens are redone. It’s a shame because the Jones is still a fun layout and could be a nice place to play.

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

Great layout and a lot of fun. The greens were in a bit of rough shape but I’m not going to complain for the value and the heat we have had this week. Staff was very courteous.

I've played the Byrd course dozens of times during my visits over 22 years to Sunset Beach. It's a good course that was in good shape considering the heat. Most greens were playable but not great. Very disappointed there is not a driving range (due to construction to build a house on every conceivable inch of available space) and the chipping green was definitely not maintained. They don't tell you this when you book. The guys loading the bags were terrific but the gentleman inside could use some customer service training. We played in the mid-afternoon heat when nobody was on the course. I payed for 2 and had two under the age of 16 (who are free based on their policy) and he kept grilling me about their ages. Also didn't have many answers to questions except "I'm just an Indian around here". He was what he was. I'll play here again because it's convenient, but Sea Trail use to put such a high priority on customer service and customer satisfaction and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. It's disappointing. I experienced wonderful customer service at both Panthers Run and Aberdeen in the same week.

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.

We have played here numerous times over the last few years and normally found the experience enjoyable. Greens have not been in great condition lately but are normally adequate. Now they are absolutely terrible (borderline unputtable). Also, the overall course conditions were poor. The greens were so bad that we won’t be back for a long time if ever.

Discourse you can tell in the past has been a really nice course. They seem to have let it go. It could be so much more and very very nice. It almost seems like they don’t have enough people on the lawn crew. Very unkept.

No water coolers at all on the course. The tee boxes were not mowed and literally 2 inches long. Entire course grass was long. Greens were so small and slowwww. The cart path was so bumpy and in disrepair you are better off not using it at all. Inside staff were super friendly but outside not so much. Lastly no driving range or chipping area

Good layout. The greens have been punched and lots of bare spots. I believe for the condition of course they should lower the price.

Other than being July and hot, course was in great shape. It is set up to challenge the average golfer. I would definitely play it again.
