Barefoot Resort & Golf

First time playing the Dye course. Great design and fun to play, conditions were great. Greens were awesome. Had 7:25AM tee time as a single and got paired with a twosome. We finished the round in less than 4 hours easily. Will definitely play this course again when back in town!

Great layout, way too much sand.

Greens were super quick and smooth. However, I recommend you play from the whites unless you are a scratch golfer. Sand bunkers are everywhere! Step ladder needed for some of these bunkers.

this course has potential. i loved the layout and the tee box selection. the fairways were beautiful and the scenery was excellent, however the greens even though they appeared beautiful they were too slow for that price. when you spend 250 bucks the greens should have you crying how fast they were, it was quite the opposite. it was too easy. overall i would not recommend this course at that price with greens that slow. speed those greens up and it’s worth every penny.

Played the Fazio Course at Barefoot for the 2nd time. I cannot decide whether it or the Love Course is my favorite of the Barefoot Courses, but it is def more player friendly than Love. Fairways and corridors are generally pretty forgiving, but lined with very deep fairway bunkers. Alot of courses the fairway bunkers are relatively flat and shallow. Not the case here.The greens were generally average in size and again, surrounded by big deep bunkers. The course is VERY well bunkered and one of the biggest defenses. The course was in really good shape. Fairways, and tees nicely overseeded, as were the greens which rolled at a decent speed and really smooth. All in all a really fun course to play. Probably over priced at $110. But most resort golf is over priced these days.

I played the Fazio course at Barefoot resort with three friends on 11/08/2025. This course offers tree lined fairways, natural waste areas, water and deep faced bunkers. The course was in excellent shape from the fairways to the rough and deep bunkers. This course offers a wide variety of short and long par fours. A lot of the holes have subtle doglegs but are enhanced by the placement of various bunkers. The short ones offer a great opportunity to score well. The greens are fairly large, with a good pace and rolled very well. It’s an interesting layout where you go out and do not come back to the clubhouse until you finish the eighteenth hole. In addition, you take a tunnel that goes under the expressway, to get to the rest of the course. There are very few houses on this course. I talked to one of the starters and as noted in a previous review this course plays longer than the yardage on the scorecard. The entire staff from the bag drop, to the restaurant, to the pro shop were extremely nice and professional. This completes me playing all four courses at the Barefoot resort. I personally think the Fazio course is the most visually appealing of the four courses.

I played at the Dye Club with three friends on Thursday, March 27th. I have played other Pete Dye courses prior, but I have to admit, this one is my favorite so far. Before I start, I do have to mention the entire staff were extremely nice and professional on the day we played. Especially at the bag drop and the bartender / waitress. They were both hustling that day. The course itself is awesome and in fantastic shape. The greens were smooth. I feel the course itself is fair, but by no means a push over and each hole is unique. There is plenty of water, sand and waste areas to watch out for. You cannot spray your drives anywhere and not expect to be in trouble. I played the white tees, and the par 3’s were a good challenge for me, especially number 6, with water all the way down the right side of the hole and sand in front and back of the green. It is visually intimidating. If you do find yourself in some of the waste areas on the course, make sure to take extra clubs because you might not be able to see where you are hitting to. I would not hesitate to go back and play it again.

Played the Love Course at Barefoot the day after a considerable rain storm so it was cart path only and the fairways were pretty wet. However, this is such a great course that it was still really fun! The theme of the course is really wide fairways which have a hazard cutting through the middle of them which forces you to decide which way to navigate the hazard. One way is a harder tee shot but an easier approach. And the other is an easier tee shot but more difficult approach. The greens rolled great if maybe a tad slow, but really smooth. There are a couple of forced carries. But the design of the course allows average and high handicappers to enjoy the day without being miserable while being all the challenge you would want from the back tees. The inside staff was very friendly. And the guy who brought around cups of water made for great customer service. All in all great fun and well worth playing.

Played the Fazio Course at Barefoot on a cool very rainy day. At time the rain was hard enough to stop play. But by the time I got to the back 9 it had stopped. The layout is awesome. The fairways aren’t super wide. But the corridors are. There is plenty of room to hit the ball. The fairways and green are both lined with huge gapping bunkers. However. It was so rainy that you had to pretty much take the bunkers out of play so that saved me a few times. The fairways are very winding and have a lot of movement right and left. The hole may be straight from tee to green but the fairways move one way or the other. With a huge bunker in the straight line with the green. The greens were relatively subtle as far as break goes. And also pretty slow due to the amount of rain. It did seem like the overseed in the fairways was a little thin. But that may have been bc of the recent cold snap. A great course in good shape and very fun to play even in a cold rain.

I was very disappointed with the conditions and layout of this course based on the cost. I have been playing Myrtle Beach courses for 18 years and there are many courses that are nicer than this course and cost much less.

The tee boxes on the par 3 were in terrible condition with little grass left. The bunkers have a sand that is closer to mud than sand. The fairways also had a number of bare patches. On the plus side the greens were in fabulous condition.

The course layout goes out but does not come back to the club house at the turn, and there was one beverage cart that we saw once. In fairness we were informed of this prior to starting our round.

Played the Love Course at Barefoot for the 2nd time today. And I really love the layout. It is a big, grand, dramatic layout. A lot of huge mounds and swell. Big gaping bunkers natural waste areas. There are a few forced carries. But the course is relatively open. So it’s manageable for average or high handicap golfers. The course is visually pleasant and deceiving. It was in good shape. And the pace was ok. I got it for the afternoon rate of $80 which seemed like a fair deal for what I got. I really enjoyed the afternoon and would go again for sure. Many holes have bunkers or other obstacles in the middle of the fairway making you make a decision off the tee. One decision might make for an easier tee shot. But a harder approach. Or vice versa. It will make you think and hit good shots. But again. Open enough to forgive the stray ball for the most part. If you are looking for a great course in the area. Give it a shot.

No disrespect to the architect. Layout was very nice. Conditions however were not. Bunkers were absolutely unplayable, way too much sand. Greens weren't in good condition either. Would not recommend or return to this course.

A group of 30 had a pre-paid t-time of 9:08 am, 2 days before we were set to play we were told that our times had been moved to 1:28 pm; no explanation was given. We got to the course and it was mayhem, groups of players were all over. We were supposed to go out as a group front & back but other groups dispersed were put out between us. Long story short, it took 5 hrs and 50 minutes to play; again no explanation from staff. They did apologize but offered nothing else. Other golfers on the course walked off before completing the round. It was a nice course, not great and definitely NOT worth the premium we paid for playing it.

Played the Norman Course at Barefoot today and really enjoyed it. I did not get the desert feel that they advertised. There are several natural waste areas. But I got more of a Carolina pine lined course. Anyway, I really enjoyed the layout. Relatively wide fairways lined with pines or waste areas. Several really big pot bunkers around the greens. Unlike the Love or Fabio course at Barefoot-it does wind through residential areas. There are several holes along the intracoastal waterway. But must offer only a fleeting glimpse. The par 3 10th being the one exception. The greens are small but rolled really good. And the tees and fairways were in great shape. Most forced carries are actually over waste bunkers not water. And there are a good mix of different holes. A couple of things to remember. The course is an out and back. It doesn’t go back to clubhouse at the turn. So you’ll need the cart girl for food and drink. Second there is a shuttle to the driving range. And it takes a couple minutes to get there and back. So plan on that when you factor in your arrival time. But again. It’s a fun layout and in great shape. It’s worth it, especially if you can get a deal on a tee time.
