Golf courses at Barefoot Resort & Golf
Dye Course
The Dye Course at Barefoot Resort is situated in North Myrtle Beach, SC. This gorgeous property plays over 7300 yards from the tips with five sets of tee boxes available. In typical Dye fashion, this is a risk-reward golf course that punishes players who miss in the wrong spot. Well-placed bunkers, waste areas, and tricky greens protect the Dye Course and challenge all players.
Love Course
Playing 7047 yards from the tips with five sets of tee boxes, this traditional low-country layout located in North Myrtle Beach incorporates Davis Love III’s Carolina golfing experience. Open, rolling fairways help enhance the playability of the course while strategically placed bunkers and water features provide a stiff challenge. A visually stunning design, the Love Course weaves in and out of the natural landscape and offers fantastic views.
Norman Course
Measuring in at 7035 yards from the tips, the Norman Course at Barefoot has five sets of tee boxes available, where players will find open green complexes and fairways that run right up to natural waste areas. Seven holes run along the Intracoastal Waterway and offer stunning views of the natural surrounding area. Typical of a Norman design, he puts a great emphasis on the short game despite the large and accessible greens.
Fazio Course
A fun but strategic golf test, Tom Fazio has designed a masterpiece to be enjoyed by all. The 5th hole has no glimpse of the fairway from the elevated tee, a typical Fazio trait. Holes 6 to 8 provide long-carrying par-3’s, while the 9th has the unusual sight of a full-length bunker. The course stretches 6834 yards with four sets of tees allowing for all abilities of golfers to enjoy this spectacle.
