Barefoot Golf Resort ~ Fazio
Course
Tom Fazio Design
The Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort is
routed through a spectacular
piece of property in the heart of Barefoot Resort. Like
many European courses, the course does not return to the
clubhouse after nine holes. It is not a British
linksland course, but rather a classic Lowcountry
course, filled with live oaks, pines, sand, natural
areas and native grasses. Located between the Dye Course
and the Love Course, the Fazio course has been
strategically designed, incorporating extensive tree
cover and many lakes into the landscaping. Waste areas
and formal bunkers have been handcrafted and placed for
visual and strategic effect, while natural elevation
changes add a sense of drama and excitement the to
golfing round. Water features can be seen on 15 holes,
yet many lakes are in out-of-play areas to ensure
playability.

Barefoot Golf Resort ~ Love
Course
Davis Love Design
Carolina native, Davis
Love III embraces a tradition of Lowcountry
character in his latest design. The Love course
incorporates the recreated ruins of an old plantation
home along holes 3-7. Wide open fairways and generous
landing areas set the stage for an unforgettable round
of golf. The Love Course at Barefoot Resort is a
traditional course with a Lowcountry character and
incorporates Davis Love, III's Carolina golfing
experiences in the design. This visually striking course
features course generous landing areas and greens
complexes similar to those found at the 1999 U.S. Open.
The Love Course is a Par 72 and plays over 7,000 yards.

playability and enjoyment for the average player. Tee
and fairways consist of GN-1, which is a hybrid turf

Barefoot Golf Resort ~
Norman Course
Greg Norman Design
Seven holes along the Intracoastal
Waterway highlight Greg
Norman's newest design at Barefoot Resort. Framed by the
site's original vegetation, each hole enhances the
beauty of its natural vistas. Combined with open green
complexes and fairways running up to the sand, the
Norman course presents a stunning challenge for any
golfer. The stunning waste areas and the site's natural
vegetation were used to frame each hole. The course
resembles one found in the deserts of the Southwest,
without the desert. For example, one hole has fairways
that flow into the native areas surrounding the course
while another hole features fairway and a partial rough
transitioning into the native areas. A third distinction
is a formal rough that encompasses the entire golf hole.
There are no angular or artificial lines in the shape of
the course. Bunkers have sloping white faces (similar to
a MacKenzie style golf course) with intermittent sod
wall bunkering at strategic locations throughout the
course.

Glen Dornoch Golf
Course
Glen Dornoch Design
Master architect Clyde Johnston's creation, Glen
Dornoch, welcomed its first players in September of 1996. The
270-acre site is blessed with a dense stand of oaks, pines, and
magnolias. Coastal golf courses in the Myrtle Beach area are
usually rather flat but this site has several natural 35-foot
elevation changes, which slope down to South Carolina's most
beautiful stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway. With respect for
the land, the golf course was built one hole at a time. At Myrtle
Beach's Glen Dornoch, each hole flows with the natural terrain of
lakes, live oaks, and spectacular marsh and river views. The three
closing holes are the most talked about in Myrtle Beach. If
you’ve ever dreamed of playing one of the world’s truly great
courses.....that dream can now be a reality.
