About the course
Why golfers play Sea Trail – Maples Course
The Maples Course at Sea Trail is a Dan Maples design from 1986 that shows the Carolina low country through marshy landscapes and mature pines. At 6,374 yards with a slope of 133 and a course rating of 71.6, the course is a fair test for mid handicappers that still rewards good play, and generous fairways with multiple tee sets make it welcoming for higher handicaps and mixed groups. Strategically placed bunkers reward thoughtful shot placement. The par 5 15th is the memorable hole, a double dogleg that demands precision through both turns. The course is bookable on our live tee sheet. For a Sunset Beach golf trip it is the ideal opening round at Sea Trail, easing the group in before the stiffer Rees Jones Course on the same property.

★★★★★“Did not like this course at all. They are closing this clubhouse so that made it difficult as it’s a way away from the main clubhouse. The car pass are all bumpy and falling apart. Very tight fairways with wasteland all around it. Not a good time… Wish we played the Jones course instead because it looks similar to Byrd.”
★★★★★“Didn’t like this course. I was too new and conditions were pretty bad. Layout was weird with trees in the line of tee shots. The service was great course not so much”
★★★★★“Greens coming along and we're pretty good. Seemed to be so much "waste" area that it took a lot away from the course I felt. 3rd favorite but was still a very enjoyable round of golf.”
★★★★★“Needs a lot of work”
★★★★★“The tee boxes could have been in better shape, the fairways were mostly waste bunkers and again super narrow and then throw on all the construction as well. Houses were built to close to the fairways. The greens were better but did not run true”
★★★★★“Greens were okay. Waste bunkers were a nice touch”
★★★★★“Interesting layout with the sand along the fairways instead of rough making for fun change. Greens were great”
★★★★★“The greens were in good condition but looked like they had been aerated within the past couple of weeks. Fairways were narrow and mostly in good condition. The problem with this course is the left and right sides of all the holes was nothing but sandy area.”
★★★★★“Bag attendant was rude to a member of our group. Had to check in at the convention center and drive to maples. Waste of time and energy....”
★★★★★“Maples would be a keeper for us. A terrific course in great condition”
★★★★★“Great course, need some fairway improvement but overall good place to place”
★★★★★“Cause was remodeled recently a.d had not matured. Fairways were la king grass in a lot of spots. Greens were okay but not mature yet.”
★★★★★“Great improvement on the course and with more time the greens will only get better!”
★★★★★“Sand traps need sand and inconsistent”
★★★★★“Poor fairways, way too much waste and confusing layout.”
★★★★★“This course was in good shape, but directional signage was absent where it was needed. Our condo was actually on the 18th fairway, and I was instructed by the pro shop that we would need to park at the main clubhouse and ride the shuttle. We chose to use drop off and actually park at the condo. I was told that the parking lot was for members only and that the clubhouse was closed only when we dropped off clubs.”
★★★★★“Somewhat dry, tee boxes were in rough shape”
★★★★★“Course in poor shape. Clubhouse was closed.”
★★★★★“I would give the Sea Trail courses a rating below the Pawleys Island courses we normally play. Not the same standard of care and maintenance.”
★★★★★“Nicely laid out, and the staff is quite friendly. Only issue is the restaurant for the Maples course being closed for remodeling”
★★★★★“Good conditions. Helpful and friendly staff. Pace of play good.”
★★★★★“Different from the Jones course..not quite as chilly and no wind...a pleasant round”
★★★★★“good course needs a lot of love around rough areas I know maples likes Waste Areas but redesign cutting out some of waste areas would be a plus”
★★★★★“A very good course needs some work it had a lot of bare rough areas. I believe Maples got a little carried away with amount of waste area good but nowhere near level of other three but, still a good day.”
