Barefoot Resort – Fazio Course
A Tom Fazio design in North Myrtle Beach, the Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort blends Lowcountry beauty, water on 15 holes, native grasses, bold bunkering, natural elevation changes, and a polished resort-course experience.
A Lowcountry resort course with championship bite.
Barefoot Resort’s Fazio Course is one of the four championship layouts at Barefoot Resort & Golf, and it brings Tom Fazio’s polished resort architecture into a setting filled with live oaks, pines, native grasses, sand, lakes, and natural movement.
The course opened in 2000 and plays as a par 71 from 6,834 yards. It is not the longest course on the Grand Strand, but it has enough teeth to keep strong players interested. Water comes into view on 15 holes, and the course uses elevation change, waste areas, steep-faced bunkers, and green angles to keep the scorecard awake.
Unlike many resort layouts, the Fazio Course does not return to the clubhouse after nine holes. That routing gives it a more continuous, journey-style feel, with holes moving through the heart of the resort and unfolding like one long Lowcountry chess match.
For Myrtle Beach golf groups, this is a premium anchor round. It fits players who want strong conditioning, scenic visuals, a recognized designer name, and enough challenge to make the post-round recap spicy without turning the day into survival training.

Where the Fazio Course earns its reputation.
Barefoot’s Fazio Course gives golfers room in places, but it rarely lets them switch off. Water shows up across most of the round, and the steep-faced bunkers make short-side misses feel expensive. It is a course where the safe side of the fairway often matters more than the longest drive.
The course is visually generous but strategically firm. The natural elevation changes create more movement than many Myrtle Beach layouts, and the green complexes reward approach shots that enter from the proper angle.
For a 2026 Myrtle Beach golf trip, Barefoot Fazio is a strong premium-course pick. It works especially well for groups staying at Barefoot Resort, playing multiple Barefoot courses, or looking for a polished Tom Fazio round without leaving North Myrtle Beach.
