Good overall

ts was a very nice course. Good water. Slightly challenging for a mid/high handicapper. Bunkers were nice and play was fair. No water on course no ball washers and cart paths were pretty rough or it would have gotten 4 stars. I recommend playing here and will be back.

Fun mix of holes. The course was in good shape with the exception of the areas short and around the green were very wet and mushy. Shots that land just short of the green won’t bounce on the green, they will likely plug. Saw a gator on the course in one of the ponds. Overall, it was an enjoyable round.

The grass clippings in the rough needed to be removed

The excess rain may have caused this condition but besides the excess grass clippings, there are weeds growing surrounding this area. Disappointing.

Fun mix of holes. Course was in great shape tee to green with the exception of areas just short and around the green were very wet and mushy. If you land a ball short of the green don’t expect it to hop on, the ball with likely plug. Also got to see a decent size gator in one of the ponds. Overall, it was an enjoyable round.

Nice Track to Play a round

Facilities and course looked great. Friendly folks as staff members. Carts were top notch too. Course was wet so cart path only, water does not drain well on some holes but all greens were in great shape. Pretty challenging and some really pretty holes.

Course was OK but the price was excellent.

Course was a little rough around the edges but the fairways and tees were good. The greens were somewhat slow but it looked like they had recently been verticut so maybe that is why.

Hello, piratemc74. Thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. We are glad to see you enjoyed your time, other than the pace of play. Thank you for playing Maples at Sea Trail Golf Resort and Convention Center. We hope to see you again soon.

Had to play other course

Got to the clubhouse, was supposed to play 18 on the Rees Jones course. Went to counter to check in and was told they are no longer booking with golfnow and they did not have my tee time. Ladies were very nice and saw my confirmation but had to move my group to the Maples course. Maples is not in as good of shape as the Jones course but was still a fun round.

The staff was great! Dan Maples course was closed. We played the Jones course which was in great condition. Fairways green and the greens were in excellent condition. I will play there again!

Thanks for such a great time. !

Great Value, Great Turn-Around

In 2016 I reviewed this course as "Stay Away." It has turned around remarkably. Having a great admiration for Maples designed course,.I am very excited about the turn-around here. The fairways are very lush and give you a great lie. The greens are a little soft but roll very well. The traps are well maintained to include the waste bunkers.

I played the "whites" at just 5900 yards. The rating/Slope is 69.7/127. There are plenty of challenges with many forced carries. There are at least 8 holes that water comes into play, and the views and angles make this a fun and challenging track..

Pace of play is great and they currently single tee Maples, a rarity for the Myrtle Beach area. This course also drains very well, so they seldom play cart path only. I give it a five star value rating, and should be a strong 3.5 star in conditions. I always rate courses with housing lower and the cart paths will defiantly rattle your around. Give it a whirl, I plan to play it much more now that it is back in shape.

The fairways were very long and they needed to be mowed. Other than that fairly nice course with good greens. But for the price you can find other courses just as nice for cheaper.

Good layout

First thing to say is that the Sea Trail courses have received bad feedback in the past for the quality of the course and particularly the greens but this is typical in the Myrtle Beach area and very weather dependent. So when I first played the course this year I was apprehensive......no need .....the course is in great shape, the layout is top quality and the bag drop guys are welcoming. Of the three Sea Trail courses the Jones is the best layout but not too difficult and a good score is possible if you keep it in the fairways particularly on the 18th hole!!
