Don't waste your time nor money!!

Was so disappointed. Maples use to be a really good course. Don't waste your time nor money. By far the worse course we've played in the Sunset Beach through Myrtle Beach area as our group plays different courses each week. Cart paths are in disrepair. Best to ride down the middle of the fairway than experience the totally broken and bumpy cart paths. Total lack of maintenance throughout the course. Snack bar was closed. Talked with some members after the round and they said the pro, the superintendent , and several of the maintenance staff recently quit because owner wasn't putting any money into course. Will never play this course again.

January Golf

I am here in North Carolina for part of the winter. One of the main reasons I come here is that I can play golf. Lots of courses. I really like this course. The staff is really friendly and goes out with their way to help you. I’m not a great golfer and I’m recovering from knee surgery so the experience is really an unknown. I told the starter I didn’t want to play with other guys because of that. He went out of his way and let me start on number 10. The course was very crowded because they had a weather delay and a league and lots of people trying to play before a freeze comes tomorrow. Nevertheless they managed all of those people and kept everybody happy and the pace of play steady! The course is in good condition for winter. A little wet yesterday because of recent rain and they watered but as the sun came out everything was good. Greens are remarkable for winter as well. The cost as reasonable as well for this is golf country!

Flip the nines

Played the back 9 first, and I'm glad. The front 9 holes were much more interesting. The overseeding was just growing in, but the fairways were in great shape. I rode the fairways because the cart paths are very rough.

Old course in need of help

Needs updating to keep them at the same level as the two other courses on-site. Would not go back for the price when you can get better value near by.

Overall Maple course layout was fine but greens need significant improvement. Many greens had 2 types of grass growing and could not get a natural roll.

Duffer’s Hideaway

Nestled at the end of the Sea Trail the staff greeted me with a smile and set the mood for the day. The greens are well maintained but if I had to be critical the cart paths are due for an upgrade.. I’d highly recommend playing this course.
