Under construction!

Sea Trail is doing construction. Had to start on the back nine and felt as if I needed an orange vest and a hard hat. Extremely difficult getting to and from certain holes. Very difficult getting from hole 10 to hole 1. Nothing was marked save for some faded spray paint on the blacktop. Get some signs! Holes 1-9 were very pretty, but getting back to the club house proved a challenge.
Not on my do-over list.

Would play again

Staff extremely friendly and professional when greeted. Pace of play was great, did not wait on any hole. Only negative was construction going on on a couple of holes, besides that had a great time.

Nice course

Very Nice course, not too difficult. Too bad there wasn't a marshall on the course to speed up the foursome in front of us. They were at least 3 holes behind so it took 4hrs 45 minutes to play

Pretty good course / ver unorganized

Took bag drop 20 minutes to load us up, had to play front side twice as pace of play was soo slow. Construction everywhere and no signage to direct you to the tee through all of the mess.

Area around course under construction.

Course cart paths were hard to follow as there was a lot of construction for new homes around the course.
Constuction equipment was very noisy at times around the course.

Major renovation going on now. The resort was just sold. Can't wait to see what next year brings. It was time for a makeover. We'll be back next year.

Nice course, a bit of a drive out from MB.

Course was good but not quite up to expectations. Major construction project underway around the clubhouse, effecting the starting and finishing holes. Several fairways were in rough shape, a bit "lumpy". The collars of many of the greens were saturated, wet and very, soft. Still enjoyed the round though!

Certainly someone can do something to make the first area you see more appealing. A little white paint. A weed whacker. I know the cart guys are pretty busy but this first impressions area could take some TLC. The range and putting green could be much better.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course on a wet windy day. I’ll be back — heard it’s under new management. I have high hopes.
