A good value and nice course

Played two of the three courses at Sea Piines. I would rate this a close second to the Rees Jones course. Wide open fairways and the greens are in great condition. The bag boys and starters were extremely nice and friendly.

Good value

Course was in good shape. Would recommend. Only issue was wish they told us they start groups off of both nines. Had first tee time out and played front nine in 1:45. Then had to wait over 35 minutes to tee off on ten as they had 5 groups waiting to go off the back.

Thank you for playing Sea Trail Golf Club, Dave! We appreciate you recommending our golf course to others as well. We apologize if the pace of play on the back 9 was slowed down due to the double tee start. That is not the norm and we hope you'll come back again soon!

Good golf fallen into disrepair.

Use to be a good golf course, but everything except the greens has fallen into disrepair. Grass on the fairways were very thin. Could see the earth below. Lots of crab grass tuffs which sometime you needed to place your ball on in order to take a shot. Looked like the bunkers hadn’t been worked on in weeks. Cart paths are almost at the point of being dangerous due to lack of repair. It’s a shame to see a course like this not being taken care of.

Thank you for playing Sea Trail Golf Club. Our Superintendent and his talented crew members are working hard to keep all three of our premier courses in top shape. With better weather now in the area, we are optimistic our playing conditions will improve for the Maples course as the season continues to progress. We hope you'll consider giving us another try in the near future.

Solid day at Byrd

My son and I really enjoyed the round on the Byrd course. Greens rolled well and for what a lot of area courses have gone through were in good shape. We got to see a couple of gators sunning and relaxing as we played. The only negative would be cart paths, but with it being 90 degeee wasn’t that big of deal. We will be back this summer.

Great day of golf on Jones

Jones course was in solid shape considering what a lot of the area courses have gone through with weather. A couple of fairways were very wet, but understandable after morning rain. Greens definitely playable, but will be better in a month or so. Tee boxes were in great shape. This course understands family golf and taking care of juniors. We will back this summer for sure.

Poor Course Conditions

Tees were long, fairways devoid of grass. Had to roll the ball onto tufts of crabgrass. Greens ran true. Would not recommend until grass grows.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by a high energy, friendly staff. Nice way to begin the round. Course is in excellent shape. Greens were a bit slow after recent aeration — not a big deal.

Nice layout, horrible greens

Rees Jones design is very good. The greens are in horrible condition....thatchy, spots on greens with shaggy weed making greens completely unpredictable and not fun to putt on. No water jugs on the course!! Bring a range finder or Garmin.... very few yardage markings. Money spent could have been spent on a better course at the same rate. If the greens were decent at all, I would recommend the course....as it stands... Do Not Waste Your Time or Money on this course.

Very sorry to see how it has deteriorated

A great course that has continued to decline each year. Greens were in good condition except covered in maple keys. Fairways were badly damaged. Some t boxes were ok. Cart path a mess. One plus that as there was noone on the course we had a 3 hour round

Nothing special, an average course for public play. Small greens, fairways need grass and traps need help but overall only play at the right price and enjoy the day/

for this time of year the course was okay but the most dangerous part of the course are the golf cart paths - about as bad as I have been on - four wheel drive would of helped
