Great Course

Love playing all 3 courses at Sea Trail, and have for nearly 30 years. Had a great day on the course. Conditions were very good, and pace (for a beach course) was great (4:12) for us. The only negative was that the staff seemed a little bit annoyed that they were so busy that they were doubling-teeing that day. They didn’t seem the least bit interested in engaging in conversation with the players. Overall, great place to play golf!

Resort 18 at SeaTrail

Decided to play the Maples course at SeaTrail after reading reviews on GolfNow. Was anticipating very slow play on a weekend, but pace was actually very good. Design and layout of course is challenging and keeps you interested. Greens are Bent grass, and were in very poor shape. Understand that this course is closed during the heat of summer because of bent grass and I can see why. Also big drawbacks are the cart paths and general lack of maintenance of the fairways. You can readily see that when this course was built, they took the cheap route and used blacktop for the cart paths rather than cement. Now, after decades of use,. the cart paths of course are in TERRIBLE shape. Broken, cracked, and in many cases missing chunks of cart paths are on every hole. As for the fairways, you can see they are only doing the bare minimum to keep the bermuda grass alive. Edges of all fairways are dying and are mud which is creeping slowly but surely inwards.

Enjoy the "Maples" twists and turns, but when not maintained, its just sad. Valiant to have Bent greens, but realistically, they just don't work. Need to replace greens with championship bermuda, replace or recover cart paths, and sod much of the fairways. Great setting, with many very nice homes on fairways which are in fact better maintained than the golf course!.

Since golf and fresh air was the escape for the pandemic, not sure what SeaTrail did during the past year. I live in a golf community in NC, and our club made money hand over fist during the past year.

This course needs ~$5M to bring it up to just acceptable level. Sad, but I'm sure they won't spend it.

Nice layout, meh conditions

We liked the layout, with lots of movement to the fairways and some fun tee shots. The greens are cool, with different tiers and slopes.

Greens were nice medium-fast speeds and consistent.

Aside from greens, conditioning was a mixed bag. Fairways were OK. Rough very mixed (though we recognize it’s spring shoulder season). Tee boxes were quite poor - really chopped up, long grass and in a lot of cases, no flat spots.

Some BIG alligators in lakes and some...aggressive turtles!

Drive slowly on the "cart paths"

The course was empty, after a busy morning, and I went out as a single as the twosome I had been paired with did not show up yet. Front nine was empty and I played well. When on #9 I could see a group on the 10th tee, so I made a few extra putts , before making the turn. When I got to 10 tee, there were 4 carts and 8 players in the fairway, a tee shot away??? Rather than waiting for possibly 16 more shots, as it was a long par 4, I decided to jump ahead. I did not want the back 9 to take 3 - 3.5 hours. As a single I understand I will have to wait sometimes, but that was ridiculous, especially within view of the clubhouse. Not sure if this is a policy of this course to allow large groups to play together, or perhaps they were members playing some sort of competition on a slow afternoon, but I have never seen that before.

I did catch a threesome one hole later, but they moved along at a good pace, and I was happy to slow down a little, and take a few extra shots, or putts and not push up on them.

Enough of that, I did find the staff to be very friendly in the pro shop, the cart guys and the starter. Around the 15th hole a ranger came by and I told him I was going to play #10 before going to 17 and 18, and he was fine with that.

Over all the course was in average condition, tee boxes, fairways and greens were average. The rough was very thin hard packed dirt, not bermuda, and lots of leaves, pine cones, branches etc. to penalize some shots that missed the fairways. The worst part of the course were the cart paths.

I had a great time playing this course for the first time. Everyone was friendly and informative, 9only 2 holes other than the par 3's were cart path only. Greens were fast, but overall course was in great condition. I will definitely be playing Sea Trail again.
