Following his imaginative style of design, the Willard Byrd Course at Sea Trail is built around seven man-made lakes ranging from 14 to 20 acres where each hole is most memorable for beauty and exacting play. The waste areas, along with mounding and pot bunkers, require that every hole be approached both differently and strategically in order to reach Byrd’s undulating greens. A picturesque 18th hole, flawlessly placed between two ponds, finishes the course at the Jones/Byrd Clubhouse.
