Sea Trail Golf Resort sits along the North Carolina coast at Sunset Beach, within easy reach of the ocean shoreline. The resort has three golf courses, each the work of a different architect, set among tree-lined fairways and water features, with layouts that accommodate a range of playing abilities.
The property operates as a resort, with on-site accommodations suited to both golf and beach stays, dining and recreational facilities. New owners have begun a multimillion-dollar program of improvements to the courses, lodging and amenities.
The Jones/Byrd Clubhouse and adjoining Sea Trail Convention Center house a pro shop, the Sunset Prime restaurant and the 55 Bistro Bar for drinks and casual fare, along with 40,000 square feet of ballroom and boardroom space for meetings and catered events.
