Very Nice Course

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.

Greens need work. Staff is asleep, literally.

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.

Not great

The maples doesn’t even have a driving range near it The greens where not in good condition. We only paid $23 dollars to play because of Golf Now. Tee boxes and fairways were good. You get what you pay for.

Expected Better

We were disappointed with the amenities, no food to speak of. Pro Shop staff grumpy and incorrect in stating I paid for 4 players when my conformation was a 2-some. Very disappointed in the greens, still experiencing affects of winter burn from one year ago. Nothing like the Byrd Course we played last year. Overall a good value.

Jones course is difficult

Cart paths and traps have been redone and are excellent. White tees present 4 par fours that go 400 yards! The fairways are perfect Bermuda and the tees are in good condition. Drainage in front of most greens must be improved or the watering heads need to be replaced.

Great design with small greens.

Fun at Maples

Good mixture of holes lengthwise; greens rolled well with the slightest of breaks at the hole; some greens on the back nine were a bit rough around the edges;; HOT DEAL on GOLF NOW made it a great price ; well worth the money

Good Layout, bad greens

Course was in decent shape. Some thin spots on the fairways. The greens were not in good shape. They had been aerated but not mowed. Heavy watering around the greens. Seems like were still trying to grow in their greens. Would wait at least a month before playing.

Thursday Tee Off

Went off Number 1 with another twosome as the first group of the day. Didn't see anyone in front of us for 9 holes. When we turned we caught the last group going off the double tee start and this group was SLOW. Never saw a marshal and this group added between 45-60 minutes on our second nine. Frustrating! Greens were pretty beat up, fairways and tee boxes in good shape.

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.
