Sea Trail – Maples Course

Bag attendant was rude to a member of our group. Had to check in at the convention center and drive to maples. Waste of time and energy....

Maples would be a keeper for us. A terrific course in great condition

Great course, need some fairway improvement but overall good place to place

Cause was remodeled recently a.d had not matured. Fairways were la king grass in a lot of spots. Greens were okay but not mature yet.

Great improvement on the course and with more time the greens will only get better!

Sand traps need sand and inconsistent

Poor fairways, way too much waste and confusing layout.

This course was in good shape, but directional signage was absent where it was needed. Our condo was actually on the 18th fairway, and I was instructed by the pro shop that we would need to park at the main clubhouse and ride the shuttle. We chose to use drop off and actually park at the condo. I was told that the parking lot was for members only and that the clubhouse was closed only when we dropped off clubs.

Somewhat dry, tee boxes were in rough shape

Course in poor shape. Clubhouse was closed.

I would give the Sea Trail courses a rating below the Pawleys Island courses we normally play. Not the same standard of care and maintenance.

Nicely laid out, and the staff is quite friendly. Only issue is the restaurant for the Maples course being closed for remodeling

Good conditions. Helpful and friendly staff. Pace of play good.

Different from the Jones course..not quite as chilly and no wind...a pleasant round

good course needs a lot of love around rough areas I know maples likes Waste Areas but redesign cutting out some of waste areas would be a plus

A very good course needs some work it had a lot of bare rough areas. I believe Maples got a little carried away with amount of waste area good but nowhere near level of other three but, still a good day.

Great course!

Way too much waste bunkers. Replace a majority of it with rough.

Greens too firm

Greens could had been more receptive

The renovations to the course are fantastic. Our group’s favorite of the three. Staff was excellent

No cart paths

Tested is very well

Didn’t like this course very much, tight fairways with no grass in the rough

Very impressed with the course. Very well maintained and easy to play. We had a great time at the course. Everyone was surprisingly happy with the course. Looking forward to see the renovation of the clubhouse next year.

Very good course. We enjoy it very much.

If not on fairways hitting out of muck. No rough grass

Didn’t play was sic

Didn’t play was sic but told it was ok

Was not ready to be open waste areas were a mess tees greens & fairways good I played this facility in the 90’s when it first opened I see the progress after a decline

When the renovation is completed all of the three courses will be great

Disappointing after renovation. Fairways rough, greens were ok, overall conditions were poor. Shuttle to course was an inconvenience. Staff was friendly

To much hardpan in fairways,and no GPS anywhere

Course layout good. Improvements necessary.

Enjoyed it very much. We shot 8 under. Greens need work, but we had a blast

Glad they’re closing and renovating it

Needs more work on the cart paths and greens

Cart paths are awful

I have always liked this course. The next thing on the renovations chart should be the Maples cart paths. The greens were better than Jones and I would rate the whole course higher except for the paths.

Good setup greens in good shape tee boxes could use some attention

Great condo. Great golf except for cart paths which were awful

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

Course closed

wont golf sea trail again over priced for quality

I have played 107 golf courses in the marketed "Myrtle Beach / Grand Strand" area over the past 40 years, and have them all ranked on my Excel spreadsheet. Maples is my favorite of the 3 Sea Trail courses. Knew the condition might be suspect with this good of a rate. Condition was not good, but acceptable. We know it follows Byrd with a complete overhaul. Will once again be a gem. STILL a great layout.

the course set up was decent the greens were in a lot better shape than Jones. Options for food on the turn was limited. only options were chips and candy.

Pretty much the same as Jones but definitely better, I’d guess by next year both courses will be up to par.

club house from 1950 no dining facility

Probably the better of the 2 between this and Jones, had fun on this layout.

Again inconsistent greens

greens were in bad shape

Greens were not good.

Rough condition, cart paths were a disaster.. would not play it again

slightly disappointed that the pub wasn't open. mainly because we just arrived and planned to eat before teeing off. if we knew in advance we could have eaten before arriving. the course itself was okay.

Loved the course and layout. Staff was very nice . will go back maybe next year.

Very nice easy to navigate

great golf awesome staff

Marginally better than Byrd and Jones, but general maintenance still terrible.

better routing with a couple of mistakes, ridiculously narrow fairways as they did a poor job of overseeding, greens have not been aerated in far too long

Pretty layout but with all the construction around the course it wasn’t in the best shape. If you didn’t land in the fairway you were hitting off dirt and debris. Not having a driving range was odd!

nice course. good staff working.

Greens not very good

Greens slow and shaggy

Course was not in very good shape... weeds were everywhere

Course needs a lot of work! Cart paths were terrible!

Course very nice but cart paths took a lot away from experience

Greens not cut, tall grass/weeds everywhere, rude staff…this is NOT the Sea Trails I have played for 40 years

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.

Areas off of fairways were horrible. Not what I would expect for the money.

The course has really gone downhill over the years.

Very poo conditions.

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

Reported to Cliff, terrible course. Bad fairways and dangerous cart paths. Greens had at least 3 different types of grass. Poorly maintained. Clubhouse closed at 230 pm. Couldn’t finish round as sprinklers were on the green. Very bad experience. Glad that our money was returned for other booked rounds. We were able to book better courses.

Tight course, ok condition.

great course

This course is in very rough shape, would not recommend it.

Still very rough.

Sand Traps need to be raked

Greens were a little slow. Tees shaggy. Pretty decent though.

nice layout, but needs some landscaping

Same as Jones, great layout little easier, a really nice resort.

Decent layout but the course was not in good condition. Narrow fairways and the rough was bare in many spots. The greens were punched and virtually in puttable. Cart paths are in need of repair

greens were in excellent shape. Cart paths definitely need work

was in good shape, but the snack bar was closed, so no lunch for our replay, that was very disappointing

Some of the fairways still had debris on them. Restaurant was closed.

Course seems rather neglected and in poor shape. Also no food at the course was bad.

A bit better on the greens than Tuesday

Terrible fairways, very slow greens. Maybe the worst course we have played in Myrtle Beach in 28 years.

Course was in horrible shape and stater was lackadaisical in hiss approach to his duties. We will NEVER play this course again.

Sub-standard. Course was in poor condition, starter and pro shop operators were indifferent and not helpful.

No water on course, in terrible shape, staff rude/indifferent

Terrible condition. No food options. The guy at the clubhouse told me before we teed off and again at the turn that a cart would come around with sandwiches and drinks. We played 37 holes and cart never showed up. Course needs to be bulldozed.

Worst course on the trip. Golf shop guy was rude and tried to tell us the course was closed. Will not return here.

Course will not be open this time next year. They are putting no money into it. Clubhouse was empty, no food, and staff were unfriendly.

Greens were in good shape. Fairways had no grass and burnt grass.

Cart path is in ruff shape The people were great

probably the worst shape of the 3 sea trail courses we played over the weekend.

Fairways were good; however, greens needed work.

Cart paths need attention, badly.

Very enjoyable time. Course played well and pase was good. We had a very good time. All staff were pleasant and friendly.

Lovely scenery, fairways were very easy to keep our balls inplay, The greens were goood at this time of the year. No regrets.

Interesting course as well, it was quite a bit like the Byrd. The check in and cart loading was efficient and friendly.

Course was ok, greens better than Byrd. Staff was friendly

The frat 4-5’holes not great. Our least favorite.

A very nice course i thought thebest of the 3 we played

needed more amenities at the clubhouse

Very nice course, staff very friendly.

didnt play 2nd time

greens were really slow, clubhouse ran down.

Course is old and outdated, greens haven’t been cut and are really slow. Not enough staff. Clubhouse isn’t stocked. No snack bar open.

Starter was awesome, track was incredible. No beverage cart.

Need more ball washers, trash cans and cart person sell drinks.

No maintenance or upkeep was evident with bathrooms or cart paths. Greens were spotty and in poor condition

Course conditions the worse I've seen in MB. The course should have been closed. Cart paths unridable, tee boxes were awful. It was quite embarrassing for me to have the group play there.

Rain got us so no golf. Gave 4 stars because I love the Maples course.

Course was nice and speed of play was awesome in the afternoon

Like the course. Cart paths were very rough.

Great course

needs some TLC

greens were in bad shape

Overall upkeep of the course was poor. With as many options to play in the NC/SC coast I don't plan to come back. We played on a Saturday, where were the workers? The grill was not open that is very poor!

Gr ens we’re terrible

Greens not good

We’re is cart girls for water

Very good layout, but the conditions are deteriorating

Very nice people working there, because of the weather they were nice enough to have us play our reround at the jones course.

no food our liquor restaurant was closed the whole trip

Great course. We will add again in a later outing.

Really bad and bumpy cart paths

Mediocre at best

loved the course and people were very friendly!!!

Lacking grass in fairways

Course needs attention

Greens need some attention

Greens, tee boxes and fairways playable but not great. All looked like they needed a mowing but also very soggy conditions. Bag drop guy was very nice and helpful.

Course in good shape for time of year, and the entire staff interactions were cordial and pleasant.

Probably the most diverse course and fun. Needs upgrading on the cart paths or eliminate the worst spots .

Great design

Best staff out of the courses that we played. Cart paths also need attention

Wet fairways. Small, nice greens. This was our overall favorite.

Was not maintained well....cart paths were in awful condition. Our cart just up and stopped halfway down the first hole that we played. I had to walk back to clubhouse and get a replacement.

Love all the waste bunkers and scenic water holes and gorgeous hom3s around the course

Love all the waste bunkers and scenic, challenging water holes.

No one in club house after we teed off. Locked up. No restroom access at clubhouse, restrooms on course locked up also. Not very welcoming at all. Wanted to play another nine; had to pack up and go to other course to pay and play.

Loved the sprawling waste bunkers, many water hazards and Bermuda grass greens.

Course and pathway need repair

Rained the night before and course was unplayable.

Greens were in bad shape.

The course was ok, there were so greens in bad shape. Some of the tee boxes were in a need of a cut.

Very good shape. Greens and fairways were better than expected.

Course had been neglected and I do realize that it was not maintained for several months following the Covid lockdown.

Awful course, broken cart paths

Horrible shape

was in good shape and provided a good challenge

Needs work on greens.

Couple of the greens were in bad shape

Played it twice. Extremely wet and marshy. Nobody ‘s fault. Just a lot of rain that week.

had to check in at a different clubhouse. No advance notice of the grill being closed or no beverage cart. cart path was in horrible shape

Grill was closed no beverage cart had to go to another club house to check in

This course was dry and had a lot of character.
