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.
Tee and fairways consist of GN-1, which is a hybrid turf developed by Greg Norman Turf. The approach areas consist of Tif - sport Bermuda grass. The greens surfaces are an A-1 Bentgrass and the rough areas are 419 Bermuda grass.
The Fazio Course is a Par 71, approximately 6,834 yards long. The course will have
four sets of tees to give players of all skill levels the opportunity to play a course
of championship caliber and still have the right balance of fun and challenge.
