Fair Test of Golf

Course was in very good shape considering the amount of rainfall here in the last 2 weeks. Getting zero roll so course played long. Greens were in great shape, putted very true at a 10 stimp pace. Nice straightforward Rees Jones design used every club in the bag.

Meeting new friends

I booked as a single and the staff paired me with a gentleman from Scotland .

We enjoyed each other’s company which when coupled with mediocre golf play—- netted a very pleasant afternoon!

A staff attendant even met me at my car to save me returning to the cart barn.

Thanks

Going downhill

Been a year since I played this course. Sadly, the course seems like it's going in the wrong direction. Only redeeming part were the greens. Everything else looks like the place is going downhill. Hadn't rained in a few days but still cart path only. Trouble with the cart paths, so rough you'll leave a kidney behind.

Much better courses around for lesser price.

Very nice course

Very good layout, course was very wet after a lot of rain but greens still rolled true and with decent speed. Wide fairways to make tee shots more forgiving with big greens to hit to. I was a single and was fortunate that 3 different groups let me play through very quickly. Will definitely play again.

This is a must-play in Myrtle Beach

Course (I played the Jones) has a great layout - plenty of challenges and plenty of scoring opportunities. It was in good condition for post-winter. Greens are excellent. Staff is great - kudos to the guys in the starter shed - they will take care of you! No doubt this belongs on your “must play” list for a golf trip to Myrtle Beach.

Sore Back and slowest play!

It's the first 5 hour round of the year. I was placed with 2 others and we also followed another threesome. But we waited on every shot and I think the 15th hole took at least 25 minutes to play. I felt sorry for the twosome behind us! There wasn't a ranger, but even a maintenance worker commented to us there were two guys in the pro shop but they don't check the course for slow play.

The greens weren't as bad as reviews I've read, but they were slow. The fairways were green but mostly thin in places. And the tee boxes were all acceptable .

Some very unique holes and the course is actually fun to play because of the variety.

The cart paths are in terrible condition. I would hope they will repair them at some point within the this year, or rip them out all together. My back was bothering me and it wasn't from playing golf, it was from the bumps and jolts driving the cart paths.

I read a previous review from someone who mentioned that he wished his round was over after 7 seven holes but he had 14 more to play ??? I agree we should have easily been able to play 21, but it really is only 18 holes.

I do not like to give bad reviews to any golf course, and this course is not as bad as the previous reviews would lead you to believe, as the worst parts were the slow play and the cart paths. But I've played the other Sea Trail, courses and would recommend either of them over the Maples.

Not good

Paid to play Jones course showed up and found out there was a mistake and had to play Maples. Course was in poor shape and layout is dull. Avoid this course during certain times of the year.

Must play

Played the Jones course and would highly recommend it. We purchased the round on GolfNow as a twosome and got paired up with another couple. The course was in excellent shape and played at a perfect pace. Greens were not too fast but played very true. We really enjoyed our day!
