Fazio Course

at Barefoot Resort & Golf

Location: Myrtle Beach | Style: Parkland | Length: 6,834 yards | Par: 71

Opened in 2000, the Fazio Course at Barefoot Golf Resort reflects the artistry of one of America’s most celebrated architects, Tom Fazio. Known for his ability to blend strategy with visual appeal, Fazio has crafted a layout that is both demanding and inviting, using the Carolina Lowcountry landscape to full effect.

Measuring 6,834 yards, this par-71 course offers four sets of tees, ensuring that golfers of all abilities can experience its thoughtful design. Tree-lined fairways, expansive water hazards, deep pot bunkers, and dramatic elevation changes create a round that rewards both strategy and execution.

Course highlights

Signature Holes

• Hole 5 – A classic Fazio moment, this par 4 requires a bold tee shot into the unknown with no fairway visible from the elevated tee.

• Hole 9 – Distinguished by a bunker running the entire length of the fairway, this par 4 is both visually striking and strategically challenging.
