Jones Course
at Sea Trail Golf Resort
Myrtle Beach, USA
Sea Trail Jones Course overview
Style: Championship Parkland | Length: 6,761 yards | Par: 72 | Architect: Rees Jones | Opened: 1990
The Jones Course is the most dramatic and tournament-ready layout at Sea Trail Golf Resort, designed by the legendary Rees Jones, known as “The Open Doctor” for his work on major championship venues.
The course is built with championship golf in mind. Wide fairways may offer confidence off the tee, but strategically placed bunkers, natural marshland, and elevated green complexes challenge players to commit to every shot.
With water in play on 11 holes, including a standout island green, the Jones Course demands precision and smart decision-making from the first tee to the final putt. It’s a must-play for low-handicap golfers and those looking for a challenging, visually stunning round during their Myrtle Beach golf vacation.
Clubhouse & amenities
As with all Sea Trail layouts, the Jones Course enjoys access to shared resort amenities, including the full-service clubhouse, bar and grill, and spacious pro shop. The practice range, short game area, and putting greens are located nearby and ideal for warming up before a competitive round.
Guests can enjoy post-round meals on the clubhouse terrace or relax with a drink while overlooking the course’s scenic closing holes.
Signature Holes
The signature hole on this course is the 5th, a par-3 showstopper on a picturesque island green framed by water and bunkers. Club selection is key, and wind off the nearby coast can make this shot a real challenge.
Another key hole is the 9th, a strong par-4 dogleg left with water running along the approach, making accuracy crucial on both tee and second shot. A true risk-reward closing hole for the front nine.
Post Round
After taking on the championship-level challenge of the Jones Course, relax in the clubhouse lounge or take a short drive to nearby Sunset Beach for a walk along the coast. Whether you’re celebrating a great score or just enjoying the views, the Jones Course delivers a complete experience, strategic golf in a stunning coastal setting.
Ideal as the marquee round during a Sea Trail stay, the Jones Course is the resort’s boldest and most exhilarating layout, it pairs perfectly with the scenic, player-friendly Maples Course and the challenging yet refined Byrd Course, offering a diverse trio of designs that make Sea Trail Golf Resort a true destination for golfers of all levels.
