Jones golf course at sea trail

Course was in good condition considering the hot weather for the area. The greens were beat up with ball marks that had not been repaired by previous players.

Overall Good

The range and practice putting facility were closed but the course itself was in great shape!

Biggest issue was the guys at bag drop, they were the opposite of friendly. It was like they expected everyone to know what was going on. Was told multiple times to wait and it wasn’t until there was a direct question that they told us the range was closed. They eventually loaded the bags but didn’t make it seem like we could go get until 10 minutes later they asked why we were still there. Let one cart in our party take off towards the first tee before yelling at the second cart to go get them for going the wrong way because we were supposed to go off #10, but that had not been communicated previously.

Staff in the pro shop was friendly despite some card reader issues. Overall I would recommend playing there despite the issues at bag drop.

Rude Greeting

The person at the bag drop was rude and very dishonest. We were an hour late from our tee time but we had called and was told that there were times available and that they should be able to get us in. However, when we arrived at the bag drop we were told by the person that was working that the next tee time available was not until 4:30 and they were super busy and we had gotten there at 2:40. We told him that we had spoke to Kevin who works at the counter that we shouldn’t have any issues. He also addd that he didn’t know who Kevin was. Anyways, we spoke with Kevin when we checked in and he assured us that we shouldn’t have any issues. We got on right away and did not see any other group the whole time we played. Just felt like the man at the bag drop wanted to make sure he goes him early. Not a good first impression if u want people to come back.

Missing marshal

Not overly challenging, lots of dips and mounds in fairways make approach shots trickier. Pace of play for a Thursday midday was way too slow. No rangers to be found. By hole 6 there were 4 groups on a par 4. 1 on box, 1 waiting, 1 on fairway, 1 on green. Course was in good condition, no complaints.

Sea Trial Jones course

The courses layout was fantastic. Fairways are coming in nice. However the greens left a lot to be desired. Not sure how many putts I missed because of the conditions. Very very bumpie. They should not be charging $78 while the greens are this rough.

But the staff were really nice and helpful.
