Byrd at Sea Trail Golf Resort and Convention Center

The course was in great condition and the overall layout is amazing. I would recommend this course to everyone who wants to satisfied with their round of golf.

We have played here numerous times over the last few years and normally found the experience enjoyable. Greens have not been in great condition lately but are normally adequate. Now they are absolutely terrible (borderline unputtable). Also, the overall course conditions were poor. The greens were so bad that we won’t be back for a long time if ever.

I've played the Byrd course dozens of times during my visits over 22 years to Sunset Beach. It's a good course that was in good shape considering the heat. Most greens were playable but not great. Very disappointed there is not a driving range (due to construction to build a house on every conceivable inch of available space) and the chipping green was definitely not maintained. They don't tell you this when you book. The guys loading the bags were terrific but the gentleman inside could use some customer service training. We played in the mid-afternoon heat when nobody was on the course. I payed for 2 and had two under the age of 16 (who are free based on their policy) and he kept grilling me about their ages. Also didn't have many answers to questions except "I'm just an Indian around here". He was what he was. I'll play here again because it's convenient, but Sea Trail use to put such a high priority on customer service and customer satisfaction and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. It's disappointing. I experienced wonderful customer service at both Panthers Run and Aberdeen in the same week.

No water coolers at all on the course. The tee boxes were not mowed and literally 2 inches long. Entire course grass was long. Greens were so small and slowwww. The cart path was so bumpy and in disrepair you are better off not using it at all. Inside staff were super friendly but outside not so much. Lastly no driving range or chipping area

Good layout. The greens have been punched and lots of bare spots. I believe for the condition of course they should lower the price.

Discourse you can tell in the past has been a really nice course. They seem to have let it go. It could be so much more and very very nice. It almost seems like they don’t have enough people on the lawn crew. Very unkept.

Pace of play was exceptional; 3.5 hours for a threesome at 8 am on a nice day. Course layout was decent, not overly exciting but some fun short dogleg holes with risk-reward options. The greens were horrific. It appears they we aerated about 10 days prior to playing, but the had not been mowed in at least 3 days. Lots of dead patches and crabgrass growing in the greens, and the wet sandy soil paired with fairway length grass made the greens borderline unplayable.

Course had aerated greens that we were not told about prior to booking Tee Time. Also arrived early to hit balls to be told range was closed.

Very fair course. Greens were recently aerated… Bad timing on our time. Little water on the course but some. Traps are free of debris and well maintained. Cart paths are awful… if your irons and woods aren’t covered, they will rattle a lot! Tee time was 7:48am… snack bar doesn’t open until 10am. Made the turn at 9:30am… no snack bar then either.

“Cart lady” came by at 10:30am. Very friendly… for food: crackers, chips, and candy only - no sandwiches. Cash only - no card. It’s 2023… invest in taking a card.

Greens were slow. Layout was awesome. Rough was high so you need to keep it in the fairway. Will play it again.

There is no water coolers on the course and water fountain at convenience centers ere inoperable

I booked late on Friday night for a 748 tee time Saturday morning for $40. Greens were slow, bar was open but no breakfast. Course was in decent shape but I wouldn't want to pay more than what I did.

Course was in great shape. Greens were true to read. Not a hard course but has some challenges to keep it interesting.

Played with my son-in-law, and my son. We played very well, and the course was in good shape. Had a great time, until the last hole. Whomever the "starter" r whatever he was comes flying up on us as we are approaching the green asking us repeatedly if we "were done". Mind you, our pace of play was less than the recommended 4 1/2 hours, and we had no one behind us all day. His rude and aggressive behavior was uncalled for, and really put a bad spin on an otherwise great round of golf. No need for it, and totally unnecessary.

Played the course on a Saturday around lunch time. Pace of play was excellent. Customer service was excellent. Greens are very small and roll slow. Greens are in pretty good shape. Green side bunkers are about 10-15 feet from the start of the greens which was weird. The grass on the tee boxes needs to be mowed lower, it was super high. Cart paths are atrocious. Price is decent for the area.

This was an unusual round to say the least. I had a walk off eagle on 18 after holing a sand wedge. Nearly jarred a 9-iron earlier and shot 76 so those were positives. I didn’t like all the homes lining most fairways. No. 3 was the worst. Greens rolled very nice but greens were very small, ostensibly to save money by mowing less. On most greens, there was 15-20 feet of separation between bunkers and the putting surface. Tee boxes were like rough as well, grass was very high. Cart paths do need TLC as other reviewers state. Also the back 9 bathroom facilities were locked. Not sure why.
