The Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach recently earned a ranking of 8.9 from player/reviewers at Myrtle Beach Golf Insider, earning special recognition for the quality of its conditioning, particularly its Champion Bermuda greens.

The course opened in 2000 and was designed by legendary architect Tom Fazio, who has designed golf courses all over the world, as well as working at such venues as Augusta National Golf Club. The course is a par 71, with five par threes, four par fives and nine par fours. At less than 6,900 yards from the tips, it is the shortest course at Barefoot Resort but it is far from easy, with two par fours longer than 450 yards from the tips.

The course’s signature hole is the 13th, a 379-yard par four with two separate greens, located on opposite sides of a massive waste bunker. If the long and narrow right-hand green is in play, the hole plays largely straightaway. The left-hand, shallower and wider green requires an approach shot played through the air to carry the aforementioned sandy waste and makes the hole a slight dogleg left. The finishing hole is one of the aforementioned long par fours, a slight dogleg left bordered on the left by a lake. The green, which sits next to the clubhouse that serves the Fazio, Love and Norman courses at the resort, is guarded by a large bunker on the left and a deep collection area on the right.

Barefoot Resort’s facilities are second to none in the Myrtle Beach area. Guests of the Fazio Course, sharing a facility as it does with the Love and Norman Courses, have access to an enormous grass driving range, putting and chipping greens and a practice bunker.

Most memorable thing about this course was the sandtraps. Way to many! Sand was very fluffy and several guys in my group of 16 actually lost balls In the traps. First time playing a Barefoot couse and was mot overly impressed.

Great layout - will remember all of the holes played. Greens were the best of 5 courses played this year. Overall condition was good / fair but one of the best of 5 played this year - with the cold weather, I would suspect most of the courses are probably a bit late greening up. We will definitely be back to try other 3 courses. Green fees are a little pricey if played on a day other than Wednesday - I don't really see what stands out about the course we played compared to others in the area that are comparable

Very difficult course. Many deep bunkers surrounding fairways and greens. Best layout of the week.
