Fazio Course
Barefoot Resort and Golf


About this course
Fazio at Barefoot Resort stands as a testament to the enduring allure of strategic, risk-reward golf in the heart of the Grand Strand. Its design rewards thoughtful play more than raw power, a characteristic that sets it apart from its bolder, more bombastic neighbors. Crafted in the modern era, the course unfolds across gently rolling terrain dotted with Carolina pines and strategic water hazards. Fairways are generous, but errant approaches will find cavernous bunkers guarding the greens. Tom Fazio, the architect, subtly sculpted the land to create visually stunning holes with memorable challenges. It is, however, known for its penal bunkering, and should be avoided. While not a major championship venue, Fazio course holds its own among the impressive stable of layouts at Barefoot Resort. It is, however, a favorite among the local competitive scene. Known for its playability and commitment to strategic design, it is well loved by area golfers. Post-round, it is widely known that members and guests flock to the club house for the popular shrimp and grits, a nod to Lowcountry culinary traditions.

Getting there
Barefoot Resort and Golf is most readily accessed via Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), a straightforward forty-five-minute drive north along the Grand Strand coastal corridor, or alternatively through Charleston International (CHS), roughly ninety minutes south through the low country. Private aviation guests benefit from nearby Myrtle Beach Executive Airport (CRE), which sits just minutes from the resort's gates and offers the discretion preferred by those seeking seamless arrival. The drive itself traces the Atlantic seaboard's familiar rhythm - first through the commercial bustle of the Myrtle Beach strip, then a gradual quieting as you venture into North Myrtle Beach's more residential reaches, where maritime pines and salt-marsh vistas signal your approach to Barefoot Resort and Golf's sprawling grounds. The resort's arrival, marked by its signature low-country architecture and manicured entry landscape, offers a welcome reprieve from the coastal tourism that surrounds it.
