The course is in great shape! The price to play was very reasonable. The greens, the fairways… better than ever.

Nice course

Course and greens were in great condition. It’s not a top notch course compared to others in the area but I’d definitely play it again as it was in very good shape and budget friendly.. The one’s complaining about the cart paths are funny. Are there some bump and bad spots, yes. But it’s not the worse in the world. Are you there for a nice course or a cart path? Just watch where you’re driving. 🤡s The pics speak for themselves.

Decent layout, a couple of funky designed holes. With the GolfNow pricing and discounts this round was a great value. The fairways and greens are fine. The bunkers are mostly a mess. The cart paths are terrible but we tried to stay off them where we could. As far as I he golf experience itself goes the course is fun to play.

Overall great experience

Love the layout of Maples Course. Overall great experience and greens were in good shape.
Staff was great as usual at all Sea Trail courses.
The only drawback is the condition of the cartpaths. They will beat you up !!
We will play the Maples Course again.

Sea trails

Beautiful layout but they are not maintaining the property, course is in ruff shape, the fairway grass is sparse and the ruff is ruff. We played in 3.5 hours and never saw another golfer. I feel we were charged way too much given the condition of the course.

No warming up & bad ruff

The course staff was friendly and the greens and fairways were in good shape. But there is no driving range, so you get no chance to warm up, which matter a lot to me, as I am recovering from an injury and need very much to warm up before I play. The fairways were decent, not terrific but playable. But if you got off the fairways by more than a couple of feet the ground was in bad shape. While some may say "well just stay on the fairway", I think most average golfer must be able to make a few shots a round from the rough. In this case the gravel, sand, and tree roots, but not much grass made it difficult to do that. So from the fairways every time and the greens, IT's a good course and great value, but since mere mortals every often must hit from the rough, it loses a few points in rating.

Poor condition

Cart paths need to be repaired. Greens are very small. A lot of bare spots. Course very crowded.
