Poor

The greens were horrible. I think they had a disease of some type. Very bumpy. Not from aeration. No bunkers were raked, compacted hard sand. Fairways ok.

Rough Greens

Played six courses in MB and conditions here were the worst. Some of the greens were unplayable and a decent amount of hard pan on the course. Layout was good…shotmakers course. Fix the greens and it’d be good

Maintenance and upkeep seems to be secondary

Really like the layout. Unfortunately not in great shape. Greens bumpy, needs more seeding. Tee boxes were uneven and grass was not consistent height. Couid be so much better or may have been in the past.

Great course, staff not real friendly.

Course is in great shape. We enjoyed the gators. Staff is a bunch of grumpy old men. I doesn’t cost anything to be friendly

Overall Disappointing

Second course that we've played at Sea Trail. It's a bit remote from Myrtle Beach, but easy to find. There is a large bag drop area, but carts are not assigned until just before tee time. That's not normally a big problem, but the driving range is a bit of a walk and in the opposite direction of the practice green, which is also quite a walk - so plan on carrying some clubs to the range and practice green. Staff in the pro shop were friendly, but the bag drop staff seemed a bit confused and less organized. Course had a nice layout, although the fairways tend to the narrow side so a straight drive is really helpful. Fairways were in good shape, but less so around the greens. Sadly, the greens were in real bad shape - very inconsistent in texture and appearance. For the most part, the putts rolled okay but greens were hard to read and gauge speed because of the condition. Greens need to improve before this course would be considered a good value.

Pretty good course

I enjoyed my day. The only issue I had was even though we were over 50 mins from tee time we weren’t allowed to go warm up because we had to stand with our clubs. Also I was charged $25 for bringing a junior golfer because it caused two carts. That should have been listed somewhere. I made the decision to play there because he could come and play for free. Once we got passed that, the course was nice. The cart paths not so much. But the course was in good shape. Overall I would come back!

Nice layout. Greens were slow but for this time of year wasn’t unexpected. Staff were friendly. Unfortunately the bar/lounge was closed so couldn’t buy any food or drink and no bar cart.

Bang for the buck

Every hole is different, challenging, but fair to all levels of golf from seniors to long ballers.

The sand bunkers are in excellent shape and very consistent. The greens on the first few holes were spotty as well as most of the fairways. Probably the time of year transitioning between types of grasses. Overall a very good experience and reasonably priced,
