Nice course BUT somewhat disappointed

We travelled from Canada (18 hr drive) to play golf in Myrtle mainly to play golf and enjoy the weather and amenities.

We enjoyed the Byrd course BUT were disappointed that the greens were covered with bits of leaves and pine needles etc and it would have been more enjoyable if a grounds keeper could have taken the time to blow greens of impediments which would have only been a few minutes per green. That being the case we are reluctant to play the other Sea Trail courses.

Shot maker course

Like the layout. Makes you use a lot of different clubs; not just a driver + wedge course.
Staff was great, but their POS system was quite slow.
Greens putted true; but cart paths need attention.

Off to a poor start

We arrived in plenty of time to warm up, and we paid for a bucket of balls. But the guys at the cart station didn't help us much, and when we drove over to the driving range, they said we weren't supposed to park at it (there were no signs). We had to move the cart, but then they told us that we were supposed to be at the hole, although we were still 20+ minutes to tee time. As a result, we didn't get warmed up. Also, after they rushed us to the first hole, it was all jammed up. If they had paced the starts corrected, we wouldn't have waited for the groups ahead at each hole. When we played this course before, we got much better treatment.

Great Course, well maintained.

I had a great day to play. Even though it rained during the night the course was in great shape. The greens rolled nice and the course was in good condition. The layout is a challenging and would like to play the other two courses.

One of the standout features of Sea Trail is its stunning natural beauty. Surrounded by lush trees and picturesque landscapes, the course offers a serene and tranquil setting that's perfect for escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The course layout is thoughtful and engaging, with each hole presenting a unique and enjoyable challenge.

Throughout my round, I couldn't help but appreciate the attention to detail that the grounds keeping team had put into maintaining the course. Will definitely be back.

Sad Conditions For A Resort Course

Considering this is a golf resort, these conditions were atrocious. Big burnout spots on the fairways, tee boxes that had been cut but were the length of light rough (particularly problematic on par threes, bump and inconsistent greens. With the deal, the price was not bad, but I wouldn’t pay more than about $35 to play here again. Hard to enjoy the Willard Byrd design when it isn’t well kept.

Sea Trail Byrd

Traveling for work and wanted to get in a round. The Byrd course was a great choice. The staff was very friendly, i arrived early and was able to tee off once ready. it was 90 degrees so pace of play was great. I enjoyed the layout. Nice doglegs with well placed bunkers but enough room that errant shots still left opportunity to score. Greens in good shape and rolled well. Would play again.
