Countless golfers have played and fallen in love with The Love Course at Barefoot Resort & Golf in North Myrtle Beach. That’s something course designer Davis Love III strove to achieve in this more than 7,000-yard layout that embraces a both unique and fun style.

The traditional Love course features the recreated ruins of an old plantation home on holes 3 through 7. Wide fairways and generous landing areas and greens are said to be similar to those on Pinehurst Hole No. 2 at the 1999 U.S. Open.

Love intended to encompass all playing levels – from good to average – on this par 72 course. Tee and fairways are seeded with GN-1 (a hybrid turf developed by Greg Norman Turf), approach areas have Tif-sport Bermuda grass, greens are an A-1 Bentgrass and rough areas are 419 Bermuda grass.

Don’t forget to take advantage of the 35,000-square-foot Barefoot Clubhouse and The Range at Barefoot, a lighted facility with more than 30 acres of manicured grass.

Critics, too, statewide and nationwide have fallen for Love. The Love Course has been listed among the Best Courses You Can Play by the South Carolina golf course ratings panel, ranked No. 38 among Golf Digest’s “America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses” in 2005 and No. 1 among Golf Digest’s “Top 50 Courses of Myrtle Beach” in 2005.

I had the opportunity to play The Love course. Very nice course all around. Challenging but not too challenging for someone with a medium high handicap. Last week I played Eagles Nest. It was not what I expected. The greens and fairways had been overseeded and were over watered. - Read More
