The course

What Sea Trail – Rees Jones Course plays like.

Designed by Rees Jones and opened in 1990, this course features a mix of marshland and low country terrain, with strategic water hazards and mature pines lining the fairways. The green complexes are well guarded by bunkers, demanding precise approach shots. The par 5 18th hole is a standout, offering a challenging finish with water in play. Known for its Bermuda grass, the course maintains excellent conditioning year round.

It was a good opening day course for us but not as nice a course as we were used to in Pawleys Island

Jim, Scituate

Courses not in as good as condition as others

Younglove, Bowling Green

Another great track. Very nice conditions. Hope to play it again soon

Sinnott, Chicago

Jones was also in great shape. We needed to change our tee time and Rob was able to make that happen. Again, the starters, cart staff, prosbop and cart girls were all great!

Sinnott, Brookfield

Sand traps need sand and inconsistent

robert, falls church

The Jones course was in terrible shape. The greens were in worse shape than most of the area courses. They need to get the cart paths installed on Maples. Way too much sand, and the sand areas were not well defined.

Terry, calabash

A lot better conditions and nice layout so much better than Byrd course!

Todd, Uniontown

Decent track a lot better conditions than Byrd

Todd, Uniontown

All three courses were great. Each has a little different character but enjoyable tracts.

Davis, Charlitte

We liked this course too. We were told this course was to be redone. If that is true I’m sure it will be a great course. Both courses were different and we enjoyed playing both of them.

Linda, Greensburg

Hope they get the greens better

Jennelle, Blacksburg

Nice layout. Greens were in bad shape

Jonathan, Weddingon

Course was fine but it was COLD and breezy the morning we played

Fairways were okay. Greens were terrible.

Dennis, Morganton

Greens were rough in great need of re vamp

Victoria A, Canton

gerald, DOWNERS GROVE

greens are scheduled to be replaced in '26 apparently, that will help.

David, Arlington

Greens were dead and spotty. We should get a partial refund on that round… one of the worse greens we’ve played in 25 years coming to Myrtle! Do not send anyone else there!!

Lee, Punta Gorda

Some greens were not in their best shape when we played but was as beautiful course.

Lesley, Poquoson

Greens were not great. The speed was idle but the conditioning on the greens were not as good as the others. Too much poa and bald spots.

Payseur, Seneca

Looking forward to playing this course again, layout and conditions are very good.

Kinchla, Esst Sandwich

Jones was awesome too. Greens need a little work, but overall great!!!

Jones course better than Byrd. Enjoyed the Jones course experience. The guy loading us on the carts was a little rude.

Slapnik, Lexington

greens were terrible

Terry, Ft Pierce

Greens weren’t in very good shape.

Good course. Recommend they at 150 yard posts/markers visible from the tee

Carson, Hendersonville

greens in terrible shape, no grass.

Rick, Campobello

Nice layout, greens nice, rolling at 8, only issue is for a Golf resprt and not having a range is big miss, too bad that we weren’t able to warm up before

richard, blainville

Did enjoy this course. They were still doing renovation to the clubhouse so had to check in at the conference centre. Assuming the proshop has a patio for after golf beer I'd go back. Course condition were ok and staff were very friendly.

Sylvie, Carlsbad Springs

Did not play this course

Wales, Edwards

did not play this one

Sylvie, Gatineau

Greens in bad shape.

William, CARLISLE

Greens were atrocious

Robert, Walnut Bottom

Very poor greens. Condition, of course was subpar. Disappointed to have members of our group drive all the way from Maryland to play on a dirt filled course and disease riddled green.

Jim, Indian Land

The accommodations were good but course not in good condition at all. Almost all of the green were lost

Powell Jr, Delanco

Very poor condition. Greens were bad with a lot of them not having any grass.

Powell, Williamstown

A little rough around the edges. New owners and expansion of housing in the area made the experience a 3

Tom, Tarpon Springs

Overall course was in good condition; however, most of the greens were struggling.

Head, Aiken

Greens were in bad shape fairways nice

Rutherford, Olar

the course was decent but the greens were really bad.. it was a very hit day and we saw the cart girl one time on hole 4 during the whole round of gold.

Travis, Cary

You can tell it’s a work in progress but they are doing a great job getting it right.

We are looking forward to the completion so it can match the likes of the Legend.

Breakfast worker questioning our right to eat at the buffet--wanted proof of golf package purchase.

Robert, Gainesville

Great course. A little disorganized due to all the construction going on.

Richard, Louisville

Lots of work going on ( good to see they are making improvements)

Mike, Madoc

The Group was a bit disappointed with Course conditions. The Breakfast was ok.

Robert, Myrtle Beach

Course conditions a bit rough, shaggy greens, sparse fairways, play around and through ongoing construction, signage could be better

Robert, Woodbridge

Basically under construction

Joe, Komoka

Course was not in very good condition, fairways were unkept and the greens were not much better.

Steve, Mississauga

best course out there! well maintained even with all the construction going on. cart paths could use some work

Fred, Virginia Beach

We got rained out this morning but did see the course and layout it looked good would of been nice to play it maybe next year.

James , Middleport

Ok, but greens were slow. Construction around the course & clubhouse distracted from this course. Will be nice when completed.

Greg, Stow

very nice day at the course .

Rob, Stow

Green in horrible shae

Mathew, Laporte

Very windy day so course played differently. Tad chilly ( low 60s) but sunny. Would definitely play again.

We played Jones a second time two days after the first time. The cups had NOT BEEN CHANGED! That is unacceptable.

Edmund, West Sinsbury

Nice course and very nice resort overall. People were great.

William, newbury

Course was great, no driving range was odd.

Cary, Ruatburg

Construction area was very rough to drive on in golf cart.

Jane, Conyers

Needs better signage about course layout during construction.

Mark, Alexandria

Best of the 4 courses

Pam, Monticello

Best course of the three. Loved driving through a full construction zobe to get their.

Robert, Greeneville

All the construction around course lowered rating.

John, Chardon

Liked the Layout. But a lot of New Construction and Activity on the Back Nine. At times, wasn't sure how to get to the next hole. Not very well marked

Drew , Dushore

Plenty of mounds in fairways and around greens make approach shots different every time!

Hayden, Pinehurst

very nice course good people good staff working.

Justin, Grove City

played here 20 years ago when it was in it's hey day. now just an ok course. i realize new owners have taken over and making major renovations which make the Jones course like a construction zone on a few holes. hopefully they can restore golf course to its prime once all constructions is done. only $50 for January but given current conditions would not play here for much more even in prime season

Brian

The condition of the greens was not good. Too many bare spots or rough spots.

Arthur, Brunswick

course not in good shape. Course was sold to a construction company so it wasn't properly maintaineda

Barry, Columbia

Very good course. Enjoyable round.

Chris, Raleigh

Greens slow and ruff

Paul, Winston-Salem

Worst playing condition of the four courses. Staff was snippy at end of round.

Robin (Rob), Clemmons

Maybe a letdown after the last two but tee boxes and greens appeared neglected.

Lawrence, Clemmons

greens were a little rough

Charles , Columbus

Fairways were mowed a bit narrow. Greens rolled well. Cart paths were a bit rough, lots of broken pavement ruts to be careful not hitting while driving.

Ron, Concord

Same as above. If the group decide to go back there I would not go.

Linwood , Selma

The course has really gone downhill over the years.

Chuck, Hendersonvile

Some what better than the other two, but not really what we expected to find there.

Ken, Mills River

Excellent course. Well groomed and maintained

Billy, Fairmont

Not well mantained and staff was saying the courses were close to being sold and no one cared.

Carl, Hendersonville

Much better than Bryd. "19th hole" and clubhouse was closed when we finished. Would have been nice to know that. Staff was pleasant.

Great course! Was in very good shape! The staff were amazing!

Timothy, Apple Valley

Nice layout, Unfortunately, terrible greens.

Stephane , Brossard

Another beautiful course.

Rick, Saginaw

Lay out was good - not too challenging for the average golfer. Having said that, the course was disappointing as the tee boxes and greens were some of the worst our group has plated. Again would return if improvements are made. Friendly and helpful staff.

Michael, Prospect

A bit too long for us

Charles, Centerville

Greens and Fairways were extremely patchy.

Dana, Bethel Park

Course was pretty good but looks like the resort has seen better days. I’d play it again however.

Bill, Lakeland

Greens were terribly slow.

Best of the sea trails package by far.

Best course at Sea Trail

Same as above comments.

Matthew, North East

being the first game of 2022 we enjoyed the course however the greens were poor , spotty with little grass

enjoyable, conditions were good, greens were good. Was disappointed with the Byrd course the day before, so did not expect much from the Jones course. Jones is in much better shape,

Bill, Middletown

Greens were in bad shape

Dan, Latrobe

Best overall conditions. Still no real service on course.

Michael, Colorado Springs

Same as the the Jones even worse we would not play it again

Nicole, Orleans

Couldn’t tell if the greens were recently aerated or they were just rough.

Derek, 44203

We had a good time, but found things a bit hurried and confusing. The group behind us, a family of 6 or seven had a foursome placed in between their two halves. Pase was slightly pushed. Because of the pase we didn't rest stop at the turn and my wife was extremely uncomfortable by the time we got to the rest room after leaving the 15th green! I will add for Clarification that both my wife are experienced golfers.

David, Lewiston

Greens were sparse almost impossible to hold a line.
