Byrd current condition 12/15/2024

The Bryd course is underwater from the sprinkler system. I played the front 9 holes and quit. Staff allowed us to play the front 9 holes of the Jones course to complete our 18 holes. The Jones course was in great condition.

Terrible conditions

Course is being reseeded. Extensive watering makes for saturated fairways. Almost unplayable.

Average

First time playing - got a good rate plus an additional Golf Pass reduction.

When we checked in at their newly renovated club house, we were impressed and assumed the course would match the calibre of the club house. Unfortunately not.

The Sea Trail Jones Course was in rough condition, particularly the greens which were patchy best. The layout was somewhat unimaginative and snaked its way around the massive array of houses. Fairways were over seeded (expected for fall) but unfortunately very wet as rain the night before limited play to cart path only (understandable). The baroness of the course allowed wind to searingly face head on no matter the direction of the tee.

Long story short, the course needs attention to align with the prowess of the club house. There are plenty of courses surrounding it worth playing so management should pay heed.

Sea Trails total review in detail if you plan to visit

I’m reviewing the ENTIRE Sea Trails resort if you are planning a trip!

We stayed on Sea Trails property. It hasn’t been updated in at least 20 years. There was a VCR with VHS tapes in our unit. It was for the most part clean, but in desperate need of paint or at the least walls washed. The carpet was gross. We were there with 52 guys and all had the same complaints and we were spread out over the property.

The Biatro 55 restaurant and new bar/clubhouse is exceptional! The food was great and everything was newer. It’s clear this is where they started. Kudos on this part.

Golf Courses-

The Maples is ALMOST UNPLAYABLE. I will attach photos. Several greens were mud and diseased.

The Jones course was FAIR but not great if you are on vacation, it’s like a decent muni in your hometown .

The Byrd course is EXCEPTIONAL PLAY THIS ONE. They just reopened it and it is fantastic. FROM TEE TO GREEN.

They are dumping a lot of money and redoing the Maples and Jones. I’d give it 2-3 years to be totally redone.

Plenty of other courses to play.

The wind makes a difference

20 mph winds, gusting to 30 and high fifties made this tough day. The course was still good and a winner. I enjoy this course

Golf near the coast

The staff are exceptional. Friendly and super helpful. From loading your clubs to giving directions for the first timers. The course is well laid out and fair. Long par fours but reachable. Bunkers are well located and in good shape. Fairways a tee boxes good but the green are a bit rough on some holes. 3 1/2 hours way great
