About this course

Love at Barefoot Resort, crafted by the renowned Davis Love III, offers a Lowcountry golf experience steeped in traditional design principles. The course sprawls across former farmland, its open, generous fairways reminiscent of classic links layouts, though strategically incorporating Carolina pines and water hazards to test players. This forgiving terrain often gives way to challenging approach shots to well-guarded greens. Love's design philosophy is evident throughout, a conscious nod to the strategic elements of the game, emphasizing position over brute force. The player is challenged with risk-reward decisions, as longer hitters can take chances, while those who play conservatively are rewarded with manageable approaches. This makes the course playable for all levels. Barefoot Resort and Golf, is more than just a golf destination. It's a vibrant community hub on the Grand Strand. Home to multiple courses and numerous amenities, where camaraderie thrives on and off the fairways. Known for its social atmosphere, members gather regularly not only for tee times but also events and casual dining, especially around the clubhouse which features one of the area's best selections of local seafood.
