Dan Maples course

Of the three courses there, this one is the worst. Fairways and greens not in great shape. Cart path really bad. Would not return.

Course looks like it’s being renovated.

Have been to this course in the past and prior to 2020 the course was quite good and priced reasonably. Club staff was excellent and club restaurant had a good selection of food. On our recent visit the pro shop had only the essentials and the restaurant looked like it had been closed down long ago.. The course while still enjoyable in its layout is in dire need of repairs. Staff was still excellent and very friendly. Round was priced very reasonably but the course was. difficult to enjoy because of the repairs needed to fairways, cart paths, and hazards.

Wouldn't recommend

The day we played the course the restaurant was closed and we couldn't eat lunch. The clubhouae closed at 2:30 pm. The beverage cart was on the course but we only saw it when we were on our last hole. There was no water coolers anywhere on the course. Very disappointing golf course.

Needs upgrades

Greens were in great shape. Fairways are pretty rough lots of hard oan spots. Bunkers pretty good. This course double tees, 5 1/2 hr round. Played with a couple of members who informed us owners not putting money back.into the course and it shows. No snack bar.

The Course was disappointing

I found the course very dry with bare spots in the fairways which i wouldn't expect for a fully irrigated golf course, the sand bunkers were not maintained; not raked and had numerous branches and pinecones in them. For this time of the year, I would have expected the greens to be in better condition compared to other courses in the area.
The attendant behind the counter was not able to change my greens fees to the player card I presented hence I was charged the full rate whereas they were able to at the Rees Jones course.

Nice layout, but conditions are not very good and with restaurant closed!

Our group has been coming to Sea Trail for many years and this was by far the worst experience we’ve had! Maples was in bad condition with greens that were eat up with Poa Annua., bumpy cart paths, and dirt for grass in the rough. To top it all off, the restaurant was closed and the pro shop was being run by a skeleton crew. Would not recommend.
