Perfect (but for the rain)

I played with three friends/avid golfers on Sunday. Unfortunately it rained steadily all day. That said, it was clear the course was in great shape. Greens rolled true, fairways nice. I know I would have loved it.

Staff was very accommodating. We played around w/ the tee time to try to miss the rain and they were quite helpful. Gave us a nice deal too.

All in all a joy and I'll definitely be back. If you're heading to the AC area for golf put this on your short list.

Great for some perhaps, not for me

First off, I've been to Sea Oaks a number of times and booked a round there for a roving guys' golf trip heading to AC. I was very disappointed.

When I book a round for these guys, we're looking for great golf. Most important are condition, layout, pace of play, and staff, in that order.

Conditions were terrible. They aerated recently but that was only part of it Tee boxes were uneven and unmowed. There were many bare spots in the fairways and this was not a bad weather summer for golf courses. As for staff, the starter literally stood on the tee w/ us behind us as we hit watching our tee shots on first hole and told us we'd "better get through four holes in an hour" or he'd be "coming after us". We did our part only to be stuck behind really slow groups and there was no marshal moving people along. (The starter later told us he left at 3, which was an hour after we teed off.) Rude and not acceptable.

So why might it be great for some? Most groups seemed to be carrying a case of beer with them and beer was plentifully available on the course.
Some had a boombox in their cart and played music throughout the round at volumes that could be heard from 100 yards away. I'm not exaggerating.

So if you're a golf purist I say stay away. There are some GREAT tracks down the road. If you like to drink and rock out while you play and feel welcome doing so, this is your spot.

Nice track, but horrible pace of play makes it a "never again"

Played there on Sunday for the first time. Very hilly course and a little odd. A few par 4's under 300 yards and several over 400. And only one par 5. Greens were in really nice shape. Quick and challenging. If you don't like sloping greens skip this course. Course was in pretty decent shape overall, but was a bit shaggy toward the end. I'd generally have given it a 3-4 star rating but the horrifically slow pace of play makes it a "never again" for me, at least on a weekend. There was nobody on the course moving people along. Plus it seems "par for the course" that groups wait on the several short par fours for the group ahead to clear the tees before teeing off. This was true even for the group playing in front of us that had no golfer who hit the ball more than than 175 off the tee. My round was 5 hours and I didn't get to play 17 or 18 because of a commitment I had that I never thought would conflict with this round of golf.

Response from on 04/25/2018:
Hello, thank you for taking the time to provide us your feedback regarding your recent experience. We are sorry to hear that you experienced slow pace of play that day. We had a team match through an association that certainly was slowing down the pace of play. They have since been addressed and will be given a warning as well as told to skip a hole if they start to lag behind. We, do not in any way condone slow pace of play and we are sorry this made for a poor experience. We hope that you will give us another chance in the future.
