When we mentioned the pace of play to one of the rangers nothing was done. For the price that we paid, we never expected to encounter this type of experience. I truly doubt if we will ever play any of the other Barefoot courses again because of this.
As someone in our group said, "Are we having fun yet? Another one of three courses at the Barefoot resort. Very challenging specially the tee shots. A lot of trouble from the tee shot to the fairway. If you mishit the ball, its gone.
Overall a nice course but very tough to play if you don't have much experience. Our family golfed this course last year and liked it so much, we decided to do it again. Nice extra this year! Staff is always nice. We had a group of 5 playing together. I phoned into the club house due to slow play very slow play and with in 1 minute the ranger was there to assist.
Very pleased with how it was handled. Long course, nice greens and equipment. This is a very challenging course and you will have to be on your A game to score well. The conditions on the course were fantastic and the staff was great. Skip to main content. Sign in to get trip updates and message other travelers. Barefoot Resort - Fazio Golf Course.

Date of experience: October As you near the green it narrows to just a strip with water all along the right side. Just avoid the water on the left and you can score well on this hole. The long par 4 11th hole wrapped a little to the right again with sand and junk all on the right side.
The uphill par 5 12th hole seemed to play longer than the yardage suggested. The seemingly simple par 4 13th is straight away with some waste area on the left, but lots of room on the right, it was still tricky to score well. The long par 4 14th hole has more than enough room on the right side and plays downhill to the green.
The long par 3 15th hole is visually stunning, but being plenty long and perched out on the hillside makes it a tough little hole. The par 4 16th plays a little downhill to the green through some trees.
The short par 3 17th hole is tougher visually than it plays. Surrounded by junk there is ample room all around this green. You finish with another brute of a par 4. This time the pond that was on the right of hole 9, is now on the left side the whole way. Again playing into the wind. After navigating the sand traps everywhere and constantly swinging for the fences, we were spent after our round at the Dye course. You definitely need a good sand game to play the Dye course.
If you want to play one of, if not the toughest course in Myrtle Beach, play the tips at the Dye course. Big name designers create a top-notch resort. Just hearing the names Fazio, Dye, Norman and Love leads you to think about the great courses that these designers have sculpted in other locations throughout the country. To learn that there are 4 different courses, one by each designer in one location is truly a treat.
The Barefoot resort is a huge sprawling complex. It has 3 courses running out of one clubhouse, a separate clubhouse for the 4th course and a separate practice facility. The resort also boasts spas, shopping and excellent lodging accommodations. If you are looking for a one-stop destination in Myrtle Beach, this is probably the best.
With so many courses and only a limited time to play, we picked the top 2 rated courses at the Barefoot Resort, the Love and the Dye.
Depending on the publication and the rater, these two seemed to garner the most fan fare. That is not to take anything away from the other two, but even as we talked with the starter and the gentleman that got paired with our group, they all agreed that the Love was their favorite course and the Dye is the most difficult course.
The set up of the resort is kind of unique. The Love, Norman and Fazio all play out of one clubhouse and the Dye out of another. There is also one large practice area off site, while the Dye has a small one of its own. The two clubhouses have really different vibes. The three course clubhouse is busy with people going every which direction for all the different courses, while the Dye course clubhouse is a semi-private course with the gated entrance and a simpler setting.
Barefoot is known for their great service and staff. As I read some articles about the complex prior to arrival, everyone praised the staff. But we all know that sometimes everyone can have an off day.
And each of the four was mentioned at some point by at least several raters as their personal favorite to play again, regardless of variations in design.
Courtesy of Barefoot. Golfweek compiles several industry-leading lists of course rankings, ranging from the ever-popular Best Courses You Can Play list for top public-access tracks in each state, all the way to the Best Private Courses list. The Best Modern and Classic lists are the apex of the rankings. The rankings go on and on.
Each course is rated in 10 categories — examples include memorability of par 4s to the Walk in the Park Test, which measures how much the player enjoyed the atmosphere and setting of the course itself. Each rater then submits a total score for each course on a points basis of 1 to There is just a handful of courses in the database that break into the 9-point plane — think Pine Valley or Augusta National.
A few dozen others average above an 8, and these are dream destinations that plenty of golfers would gladly catch a cross-country flight to experience. For example, famed Pebble Beach in California is an 8. The Dye Course, laid out by famed designer Pete Dye who passed away early in , sits on a relatively open piece of land and is typical of many Dye designs. Penal bunkers, mounding, architectural sleights of hand and obscured green complexes await.
