Sea Trail Resort – Byrd Course

The Byrd Course at Sea Trail Plantation is a scenic and strategic layout designed by Willard Byrd, known for rewarding smart shot placement and thoughtful course management. Routed around several large, man-made lakes, the course places an emphasis on accuracy from the tee while providing an enjoyable and approachable challenge for golfers of all skill levels.

As part of a multi-million-dollar revitalization of Sea Trail Golf Resort, the Byrd Course underwent a comprehensive renovation that was completed in fall 2024. The project included rebuilt greens converted to TifEagle Bermuda, enhancing consistency, speed, and overall playability. Fairway bunkers were also redesigned to improve drainage and durability, while significant tree removal throughout the property improved sunlight exposure and air circulation, allowing the course to play firmer and more consistently.

The renovation refined the course’s original design intent while improving visibility, turf health, and shot values across the layout. Strategic water hazards and repositioned bunkering now stand out more clearly, encouraging confident decision-making and rewarding golfers who choose the proper angles into the greens.

With its refreshed playing surfaces, improved conditioning, and relaxed coastal setting, the Byrd Course continues to be a favorite at Sea Trail. The updates have elevated the overall experience while preserving the course’s reputation as an enjoyable, player-friendly option that blends beauty, strategy, and value.
