About the course
The Byrd Course at Sea Trail in Sunset Beach, NC is a Willard Byrd design from 1990 that plays 6,649 yards with a slope of 133 and a course rating of 72.6, a fair test for mid handicappers that still rewards good play. Multiple tee sets and a classic low country routing keep it approachable for mixed groups, with pine lined fairways rewarding accuracy over length. The par 3 3rd, where a pond guards the green, is the memorable early test. As one of three courses at the resort it keeps travel to a minimum, a sensible second or third round on a Sunset Beach golf package.
Staying at the resort itself? You can also book tee times and villas direct at Sea Trail and pair them with the rest of your Grand Strand rounds here.

What golfers say

★★★★★“Service was great”
★★★★★“Was our favorite course. Very nice condition.”
★★★★★“Nicer of the two courses we played from Sea trail”
★★★★★“This is what we expected to play, nice layout, tee boxes in good shape, fairways were nice, and the greens ran true”
★★★★★“Great course in all aspects. Wish all the courses were in the same condition as Byrd”
★★★★★“Greens were good and fast and loved the course layout which was challenging”
★★★★★“This was the best of the three courses. At least there was grass all around each hole.”
★★★★★“Cool clubhouse and deal with food and beer vouchers.”
★★★★★“Gorgeous course and the refinished clubhouse was stunning. Our 2nd favorite course of the trip”
★★★★★“They aerated a week before we arrived and even though we brought this up to the scheduler 2 months ago were told that wouldn't happen but it did.”
From the course: Hi Patrick I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and Mr. Krueger for working with me on the recent trip. We also appreciate you filling out the post-trip survey, as we share those comments with the golf courses and property management companies. As for the Aerification Schedule, the course was closed for aerification 6/7-6/10, which gave the turf ample time to recover from aerification. Your group leader and I spoke about it and were both confident recovery would be complete the day you played the course. While here, you may have noticed that the entire area was and still is in drought conditions, which might have inhibited growth a little. Asd for the bathroom situation in your unit, the property manager, your group leader, and I, even while being away on vacation, were always in constant contact. The options were limited, but we could have made the move to another couple of units, but your group leader said 3 bathrooms in one unit would be fine. When your group leader then decided the next day he wanted to switch units, the units were already rented, and Sea Trail was completely sold out. We are currently working with Mr Krueger on getting a quote out for next year so we can get that discount on lodging applied. Let's get me those arrival and departure dates Thanks again for all your feedback, and I do hope you understand that sometimes things happen that are out of anyone's control. Have a Great rest of your Summer and Happy Independence Day

★★★★★“Course was in good shape and fun to play. Staff was pleasant and accomodating.”
★★★★★“Understand that the Sea Trail Byrd course is being improved but frankly it was not quite ready for our group!! The construction in the immediate area combined with winds made is much less desirable and my annual group voted it off the island!!”
★★★★★“Conditions not very good didn’t matter where ball ended up fairway or rough sand base underneath with no grass just beat up not worth playing”
★★★★★“Conditions weren’t great would expect better”
★★★★★“Greens were fairly slow. Course condition was excellent. They doing a significant amount of construction beside several holes and on the 9th hole. Course staff were excellent.”
