About Sea Trail Golf Resort & Convention Center

Sea Trail Golf Resort sits near the North Carolina coast at Sunset Beach, within easy reach of the ocean. The resort has three golf courses, laid out with water features and tree-lined fairways, and accommodates a range of playing abilities.

Under new ownership, the property is in the midst of a substantial investment program covering both the courses and the resort facilities, including renovated lodging suited to stay-and-play golf trips as well as beach stays.

The Jones/Byrd Clubhouse houses a pro shop, the Sunset Prime restaurant and the 55 Bistro Bar, which serves cocktails and casual food. An adjoining 40,000-square-foot convention center provides ballrooms and boardrooms for meetings and catered events, alongside other recreational facilities on site.
