Shabby

Not as I remember it. Played Jones many times and conditions were not up to par. Greens were slow and uneven. Many fairways were sparse and dry and many tee boxes, (seniors) were uncut and patchy. Not what I expected. Play the Byrd course instead. Sea Trails can do better.

Great experience

I was a single and the starter allowed me to go off first in the morning and I was able to play at my own pace and work on some second shots and putts. The course was in great shape and was a great value!

Nice golf course

I like Sea Trails tracs. The no cart policy by the driving range and putting green is bad since they are not close to each other. If you usually use the range and hit more than a couple clubs you have too carry your bag quit a ways back and forth. Then the putting green is another walk in the opposite direction. Leave your self plenty of extra time if your like me and do both before a round. One thing they might consider is move the putting green next to the range and put the practice green where the putting green is now.
All in all a nice facility.

Bumpy greens

I have played the Jones course 6 or 8 times and it has always been in good shape. However, this past weekend the greens were really bumpy and it was hard to keep even 3-4 footers on line. I am highly surprised at these greens as most every other course I have played with Bermuda greens are in excellent shape.

Good layout and playable

Overall in good shape. The greens were a little rough on the front due the recent spring maintenance. Greens were better on the back.
Will play it again in a few weeks.

Great value, nice lay out

Front nine- greens were much more grown in for the season and smoother.

Back nine still growing in so a bit bumpy, fairways not totally filled in yet- but still greens broke true and only a few “jumps” in our group the entire 9, played winter rules in fairway to provide consistent lies.

Incredible value, a nice layout and scenic. Plenty of wildlife sightings as well!
