Good experience

Love the layout and condition of the course was pretty decent- greens had been aerated recently but reasonably playable. Staff was very friendly and accommodating! The only real negative was the cart paths- very bumpy and in need of considerable repair.

Too Busy!

Had to wait at every hole and we strarted from the 10th hole. All the greens were just weeds cut short. Very little signage for each hole and for yardage on the fairway.

Don’t waste your money

This is the worst golf course in the area. The cart paths look like land mines have exploded. Everything is dried out burnt up and the greens are like putting in the fairways. Sand traps are dirt holes. I wish I knew this before I payed money to play and need to get my money back. I haven’t played a track this awful in years. I didn’t even finish the round. DO NOT WASTE TIME OR $$.

Cow pasture.

What a terrible course! The tee boxes and fairways were not cut and the rough was just dirt. The cart paths were straight out of a war zone, just chunks of asphalt and craters. It looks like they are probably going to shut it down and are trying to maximize their profits by not putting any money into it. I would not play this course again even if it was free!

Needs attention

The tees, and greens were in fair condition, although the greens had a lot of poa. The fairways could be better, and the cart paths were terrible as well as the areas off the fairway. We will not be playing here again…very disappointing.

Stay away

This course is in extremely poor condition, they are closing soon for renovations and seemed to give up on maintenance. Greens were very slow, signage is non existent and bunkers and rough is a shambles. I can't believe they charged over $60 to play this course, embarrassing!

Good condition for the time of year

Greens rolled good; the overseeding budget must have been tight because about every fairway was only 15 to 20 yds wide.
No range to warm up on. Digging it up for more housing to be built

Nice course BUT somewhat disappointed

We travelled from Canada (18 hr drive) to play golf in Myrtle mainly to play golf and enjoy the weather and amenities.

We enjoyed the Byrd course BUT were disappointed that the greens were covered with bits of leaves and pine needles etc and it would have been more enjoyable if a grounds keeper could have taken the time to blow greens of impediments which would have only been a few minutes per green. That being the case we are reluctant to play the other Sea Trail courses.
