About the course
Why golfers play Sea Trail – Byrd Course
The Byrd Course at Sea Trail is a Willard Byrd design from 1990 that plays 6,649 yards with a slope of 133 and a course rating of 72.6, which makes it a fair test for mid handicappers that still rewards good play from the back tees. Multiple tee sets and the classic low country routing keep it approachable for mixed groups, and the pine lined fairways reward accuracy more than length. Water hazards and strategically placed bunkers provide most of the challenge, so thoughtful placement off the tee pays off. The par 3 3rd, where a pond guards the green, is the memorable early test. As one of three courses at the Sea Trail resort it is easy to pair with its neighbors and keeps travel to a minimum, which makes the course a sensible second or third round in a Sunset Beach golf package.

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
