Barefoot Resort & Golf

Excellent conditions, great clubhouse. Play on the reduced Wednesday rates only though. At $65 it's not worth playing more than once.

Layout is great. Bigger fairways, medium size greens. Every spot on the fairway felt like hitting off carpet.

I've played all Barefoot courses, this one is the best conditioned. I thought the Norman course was the best risk/reward and most memorable, however the greens and fairways are in much better condition on the Love course. Not saying the others are bad, just saying you can tell Barefoot spends their time on the Love course when it comes to maintenance.

The Love course at Barefoot is a solid track. It's a very playable course for all skill levels, and offers plenty of scoring opportunities for better golfers. I appreciated the mix of holes as there were a nice mix of short/long Par 3s and Par 5s. A few unique holes definitely make this worthy of the play. You can the resort was built as a big money property as there are many nice amenities throughout the resort (GPS Golf Carts, large and beautiful clubhouse, restrooms on the courses, etc.).

If you are playing soon, be aware that the resort suffered some tough weather in the recent months and have a lot of issues with the greens. They were repairing them while I was there. There were about 5-6 greens on each course that were getting partially scraped and sodded.

We played both the Love and Dye courses at Barefoot, and I liked the Dye course better. This course has a very strong Pete Dye feel, with sharp lines, intense mounding, railroad ties, etc. There is sand framing nearly every hole that plays as waste areas, with traditional bunkers lining the greeens. The course is very challenging for all the aforementioned reasons, but a fun layout.

Solid #2 course at the Resort. It resembles much of Fazio's other work, but I suspect most will anticipate that coming in. Very good variety in the holes and solid conditioning.

Very good golf course. The course was very well maintained even after the rough winter in the area. The different grasses in the rough add to the character of the course. This is easily the second best course I've played in Myrtle Beach, behind Dunes Club. The only possible negative might be for someone who has played a number of Pete Dye courses before...you've probably seen much of this before elsewhere.

A fair course. I think it would be lost in the Myrtle Beach mix were it not at Barefoot. The fake ruins on the front nine are OK, I guess, but they don't really do anything for me. The course is OK, but doesn't really have any holes that stand out to me. Just an average round of golf.

Certainly, IMO, the least of the four at Barefoot. A number of holes on the back nine are heavily compromised by housing. The ninth hole of a very good looking hole with plenty of strategy, but I have to wonder why it wasn't designed closer to the waterway (it's only about 40 yards away, but no view). Not a bad course by any means, just average.

We played the Fazio course as an extra 18 holes during our annual weekend trip to Pawley's Island. Everything on Pawleys Island was booked for afternoon rounds so we decided to give Barefoot Resorts a try. They did have 2 available tee times so we decided to make the trip up (we played TPC Myrtle Beach Sat Morning) and play the Fazio Course.

When we arrived we went into pro shop and paid our $132 greens fee. Paying that much for a round of golf one would think the course would be in great shape. However we soon found out the course was in horrible shape and probably not worth paying $50 to play in that condition. I completely understand that it might be considered early in the season and that they had a rough winter, but to charge $132 for the condition of the course was ridiculous. The greens were just starting to green up and grow in, the fairways had several bare spots and were still brown in several areas, and the rough was non-existent. The bunkers were in good shape. Pace of play was extremely slow. On hole 10 which is a par 5 there was a group of 4 on the green, a group of 4 in the fairway, a group of 4 on tee box, our group waiting on tee box, and a group of 4 coming off 9th green. To say it was a parking lot out there was an understatement. The course layout is nice and challenging, but way over priced for the condition.

Our group played The Tradition, River Club, TPC, and Willbrook as part of our weekend package on pawleys island. These courses were in great shape. We also ended up calling around and finding an afternoon round on Saturday at the Wizard. The Wizard was in decent shape. Fairways and greens were nice, burly rough and bunkers could use some attention. However cost to play wizard was only $70. A price that I didn't mind paying for course conditions.

So in closing would I pay $132 to play the Fazio course again. The answer is NO!!

We ended our Barefoot trip with the Dye Club and we couldn't be happier we did. All of the Barefoot courses are great, but the Dye is the best of the bunch.

1. Layout: The course design is fantastic. Each hole is different and interesting. There is not a single hole where you walk off the green thinking it was a bad hole. You're much more likely to look backward and think about what a great hole you just played.

2. Difficulty: The Dye is tough; it just is. If you're off your game, you will find trouble. Overall, though, it is not unfair or punishing in any way. You can see all the trouble that is there and if you avoid it, you will be fine.

3. Conditioning: The course is in great shape. It is the fifth course we have played this trip and it is in the best shape by far. We din't see a dead spot in the fairways all day and the greens are perfect.

We haven't played the Dye course yet, but of the three Barefoot courses we have played, this is the best. The Love Course was in great shape and we loved the layout. It is on the same plot of land as the Norman and Fazio, but the layout is more unique and playable. The biggest difference was around the greens. The Love course has smaller greens, all of which were elevated, with huge collection areas around each one. There are some bunkers, but nothing like the large, deep ones on the Fazio or Norman. There were also some unique touches to the course and the greens rolled very true.

The Fazio is the second of the Barefoot courses we've played this trip. The course was rather difficult and in a few cases frustrating. You have to pay attention to the slopes in the fairways because many of them will run your ball into trouble even if you hit the fairway. In some cases that trouble is deep bunkers, which are everywhere on the course, and in other cases that trouble is water. The course is also having some conditioning problems in the fairways and rough. There were some dead spots in the fairways and a lot of the rough was very bare. I understand that the rough is usually still brown this time of year in Myrtle Beach, but this was beyond the usual. The greens were in good shape and the layout is nice. Overall, the course is challenging and we liked the Norman Course better.

The Norman Course was the first we played in the Barefoot complex and it was very nice. The conditioning was good and the layout was cool. There are seven holes along the inter-coastal and all the other holes are great too. If you can get a rate at $100 or less definitely give it a shot.

This is a good resort course to play and the layout was very fair to players but at the time I played the greens were really struggling. I expected the course to be in better shape because Bermuda grass typically grows better in hot weather, which it was during the month of August, but unfortunately I was mistaken.

We went to Barefoot Resort 11/30-12/3 and had perfect weather. We played all four courses and they were all in great shape. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. The rangers did their best to keep the pace of play but it was slow at time (not the rangers fault, golfers need to know how to speed up play). Very impressed with all four courses and argued amount our group about which was the favorite. Greens were in great shape, fairways immaculate. The package at Barefoot is without a doubt worth the price. Thank you for a great experience.

All Barefoot courses are very well maintain. Played at a discounted rate which makes it an affordable experience. Heavy rain the day before required cart path only conditions, which was understandable.

The Love course is enjoyable to play. No real forced carries, good fairway landing areas and reasonably placed bunkers. The greens rolled a little slow, more do to the wet conditions from the prior day.

Course very well maintained. No complaints. Very generous fairways. Nice greens, tees and fairways.

Layout can be challenging. No surprises.

A bit pricey and there are others of equal quality at lower prices. Will play this many times in the future.

A keeper for the group of 20+ that have been coming here for 25+ years.

This course is very nice and the layout is very interesting. The main issue I had with the layout is that it's too punishing. Any shot that's not on the fairway or rough is out of bounds. If you're not a straight hitter you're going to lose a lot of balls and take a lot of penalty strokes. The overall experience was also severely lacking. It felt kind of like disney world where you're just getting shuttled around and it just feels very impersonal. The staff was pretty friendly overall but compared to some of the other courses I play it just felt like I was a number and not a customer if that makes sense.

I asked around other Myrtle Beach courses I played for a real nice course to play , I get several tips and picked Barefoot Fazio course . We paid $145 that was no problem at all , but not for what we got . We had 45 minutes to tee time and figured we'd go to the range , you have to take a shuttle to get there, problem was the shuttle didn't come back until 8 minutes before are tee time . When I complained about that one could care less .Now we are rushing to the tee , my muny in New Jersey is more organized. Starter sends us to the first tee and the foursome in front of us hasn't even teed off yet , because the group if front of them just did. Then the foursome behind us comes up , 6 carts now sitting there. That was the pace of the day . Course itself has a very nice layout but was all brown and dried out , overall condition was very disappointing . I met one of the members after the round and asked him about the conditions and he said they have been complaining about that for awhile . He asked what we paid and was shocked they charged us $145 the shape the course is in .. He actually apologized and invite us back as his member guest for $60 but we were flying out the next day . If you're looking for a real nice course around Myrtle Beach the others recommended were Tidewater , Glen Dornoch and TPC Mytrle Beach , try those before going to Barefoot . But if you go to Barefoot , Greg Norman's Grill restaurant was very good .

Course itself is not a problem. Pace of play is pathetic. Downright embarrassing. No Marshalls to push play along, people who haven't a clue on how to complete a sub 5 hour round. Too many good courses to water time here.
