54 Award-Winning Golf Holes
Choose to play on three championship layouts.
The community’s trio of highly playable championship courses pay tribute to the noted architects who designed them.
The Willard Byrd course at Sea Trail builds its strategic challenge on forbidding tree lines, lakes that range from 14 to 20 acres in size and a deceptive greenside bunkering system.
The Rees Jones Course is a straightforward layout featuring mounded fairways bordered by scenic lakes and towering trees. This championship layout measures 6,761 yards from the blue tees.
The Ellis Maples Course is a traditional Southern design, framed by twisted ancient oaks and tall Carolina pines. Five holes that wind along the scenic Calabash Creek, with elaborate landscaping and undulating greens. Send me more information about Sea Trail!
