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.

Better options in the area

Course conditions were not great. Patchy greens and numerous bunkers with tarps coming through. Tee boxes also could use a mow. Along with that, the disorganization at the bag drop was absurd. Understood it was a fairly busy day, but waited ten minutes before having to ask for help as the crew seemed to not be able figure it out. On top of that. Facilities seem to be run down. Door handles at the bathrooms on the backside would even unlock or open. Highly unlikely I will return to play
