NEWS RELEASE LOVE COURSE AT BAREFOOT RESORT & GOLF TO REOPEN MONDAY, JUNE 1 AFTER REPAIRS TO ACCESS BRIDGES FOLLOWING APRIL 23 WILDFIRE
Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf, a Golf Digest Top 100 Course to Reopen Wednesday, July 1
May 29, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. Representatives from Barefoot Resort & Golf announced today that the Love Course at Barefoot Resort will reopen for public play on Monday, June 1 while the Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort is scheduled to resume play on Wednesday, July 1.
Both courses suffered cosmetic damage to the trees, plants and access bridges when a wildfire damaged the area on April 22 and 23, but neither course received any damage to the fairways or greens.
The Love Course reopened Saturday, April 25 as soon as the Barefoot Resort Bridge was cleared for traffic and offered 18 holes of play for golfers utilizing 15 holes on the Love Course and three holes from the Fazio Course. The Love Course closed on April 28 to allow time for crews to repair the access bridges damaged by the fire.
The Fazio Course has not reopened after the Golf Digest Top 100 course lost two bridges that connect the 12th, 13th and 14th holes during the fire. The Dye Club and the Norman Courses were not affected by the wildfires and remained open for play.
We are very pleased with the condition of both the Love and Fazio courses and look forward to their reopening, said Dave Genevro, general manager of Barefoot Resort & Golf. "The access bridge on Love Course has been restored and the Fazio bridges are in the process of being repaired. Both courses underwent aeration in early May so they are both in pristine condition and ready for golf.
