Sea Trail Resort Villas

My wife and I showed up early and they offered us to play the Burd course if we wanted to. We said yes and played in 4 hours. Only one long forced carry over water for her. Red tees were very forgiving.

Greens were fast and true. Bermuda rough was short but very sticky. Lots of water on the back nine along the fairways but not too much to carry. Overall we enjoyed our day and would come again.

The greens were in good shape and rolled good. Fairways were in great shape but very narrow. Rough was manageable to hit shots from. Was a little wet around greens but they held a shot well. Overall I enjoyed the course. I'm from Texas and would play here again.

Excellent course in very good condition. Staff was professional and friendly. My wife played with me and we both really enjoyed it. We will definitely play it again.

Fantastic layout, course was in good shape, a little wet, but we played first thing in the morning. Greens were rolling good. Would play again!

When we arrived and found that this Maples Course was closed because of damage from hurricane Dorian. However they put us on the Jones Course and we played in 3 hours.

Play this course on your next trip. Fairways, greens and sand traps are all well maintained.. If on a buddies trip they have a breakfast and lunch deal that allows you to enjoy the Magnolias restaurant at the club house. This is a great atmosphere to review your round. The greens were punched in the summer and are now in absolute great condition, rolling true and pure.

The course has numerous great holes with the 4th, 5th and 6th the best run on the course, all three of these holes have a forced water carry and are very well designed. The front 9 finishes with back-to-back par 5's. Turning to the back number 10's dog leg right with water tempting you to see how much of the corner you want to bite off.

This is considered a value course and is often overlooked. I thought the pace of play was excellent and your round should not exceed 4-4 1/4 hours, often times even better. While it will not beat you up, it will challenge you through out the round. This is the best of Sea Trails trio.

The only down side to this course is the cart paths can be a little rough. Its a 5 Star value and much better than many of the designated "Premium" courses on the Grand Strand.

I am an 11 hdcp and have played golf for 42 years, played hundreds of different courses and played a couple thousand rounds of golf. This was by far my worst experience. We were tormented by mosquitoes for all 18 holes. The cart paths were in disrepair or non existent. None of the traps were cared for at all. One green had two halves (one fast and one slow). All greens had large bare patches and were covered with several kinds of weeds or foreign grasses. The speed on the greens varied significantly from hole to hole.

On most of my golf rounds I get rather depressed about the 15th hole because the round is almost over. Today I was depressed on the 7th hole because I had 14 holes to go.

Only thing they need to improve is the cart paths. Pot holes Richmond Va would be embarrassed by.

I have reviewed this course multiple times. I currently say stay away. The summer has been brutal on the bent grass greens, and it certainly shows here. I would not even head back and try again until early to mid October, the greens need cooler weather and time to heal. With this I would highly recommend the sister courses on Sea Trail, Byrd or Jones. Both of these courses are in great shape and have Bermuda greens.

Course in bad shape

Greens fairways and cart paths in serious need of repair

No snack bar.

Greens almost bare on most holes. Many sand traps unplayable due to course renovation. I know Maples is not the signature course, but it needs some investment. Course was great earlier in the season.

Fairways and greens in good shape, but it rained the night before and and slightly wet. Cart path only

Very nice course. Greens had a little stress to them but a very nice course to play

I hate to give a bad review because the staff is great but I have to say this course has been lost. The back nine with a green conversion could be saved. The front nine is surrounded by old and insects infected hard-woods and honestly this side should be closed and the course could be a great nine and/or executive course.

Right now the course is suppose to be bent greens but only 5 greens actually have bent left on the playing area. The head super seems to be a hard worker but perception is clear with the resources both mechanical and human are lacking and he is doomed for failure. I’m sorry guys I hope your ownership body can help you all out the back nine layout should be saved.

Course was in great conditions given the soggy weather but the greens were freshly sanded so that made them miserable.

I went with my 8 year old, and it was a great experience. The course layout was great, and the condition was excellent. It was very dry down here, but the fairways were very well maintained, and the greens were about as well as they could be, considering the weather.

The course had some good challenging holes, and the fairways were wide enough to accommodate my (many) mis-hits, so I didn't lose many balls. My son, playing off the red tees, was able to stay away from water trouble, and had a lot of fun.

We will definitely be back.

Found a hot deal for $23. Walked in the golf shop at 7:15 for my 7:30 tee time and the gentleman at the counter took his time with my simple check in. He had no sense of urgency. Golf attendants provided minimal course information and zero directions. Didn't inform us we were starting on the back 9 until we drove towards 1. Fairways and tees are fine. Greens on the front are slow, burnt out and half bare. Back nine greens are fuzzy and even slower. Returned to the cart staff to find the attendant SLEEPING, who eventually told us to carry the rental clubs back up to the clubhouse.
