Excellent course

We played 3 courses on this trip and this was by far the best of the 3.

Tom at the pro shop was very friendly and enjoyable to speak with.

Corse was in great shape and a fun and very fair challenging course.

I may be a little bias on this because I shot my best round of golf in 5 years.
I shot a 76!!!!!

Making pats and birdies are very achievable and the greens ran very true.

My son had an off day but he also loved the course and said he'd like to get a chance to play it again sometime soon.

I would recommend this course over about 15 others on the strand that I've played.

Perfect weather
Used cart

Was a good course but poorly maintained

Good layout, greens were long, wet and slow. Grass on tees was sparse in most areas. Most cart paths were in need of repair. Ownership needs to put much more money into facility to attract the lower handicap player who wants fast challenging greens. On the scorecard they say there average pace of play is 4 hrs 30 mins. It appears ownership is catering to couples golfers with 20 plus index's

Average low country course

Didn’t mind the layout, but the greens were inconsistent and the traps were as well. Also, the car patgs were really, really bad and needed major repair. It was jawing to drive on them.

Choose a different SeaTrails course

Worst greens I’ve ever played on in 54 years of golfing! Torn up cart path made treacherous riding. It’s clear that zero maintenance and upkeep is devoted to this track. Play Rees Jones instead, but steer clear of the bulldozer when they plow the Maples course under!😝😝

The course is in a very poor state . The greens, faiways, sand traps, and tee boxes are a mess. What is going on with Sea Trail?

Don't waste your time

Should have requested refund. Played here years ago and it was a very decent course to play. Played in Myrtle Beach area for nearly 45 years , seems like they have given up on this course. It Truely is in bad condition.

Disappointed.

My parents are property owners for 26 years and were one of the original families that lived on this course. I have played the Maples Course at least once or twice a year over those 26 years. It was in the poorest condition I have ever witnessed. Greens were slow and shaggy and some appeared to have Poa auunua type weeds on them, even though there has been plenty of rain lately.. Grass and weeds overgrown around the hazards. It was just really disappointing to see this course go downhill, when it was once outstanding. Please bring it back to the conditions I had grown to love.
