Barefoot Resort sits on the west bank of the Intracoastal Waterway in North Myrtle Beach, reached over a swing bridge that the resort says was moved here from Edenton, North Carolina. Its four courses, by Greg Norman, Davis Love III, Tom Fazio and Pete Dye, opened together, and the resort says no other developer in the United States has opened four new courses at once. That makes it one of the easiest places on the Grand Strand to build a week without driving between rounds. The same walk-on rate table covers all four, and the resort takes 25 per cent off each round if you play the full set.

Booking two or more rounds takes 10 per cent off; playing all four courses takes 25 per cent off each round. Replay rounds can only be booked on the day, at the end of your first round and subject to space; a replay booked in advance is charged at the full rate.

The courses at Barefoot Resort & Golf.
Norman Course (par 72, about 7,000 yards)
Greg Norman’s layout has seven holes beside the Intracoastal Waterway and generous, open landing areas. Fairways run into Southwest-style sandy waste areas, and his bunkers have sloping white faces. The resort pitches it as the most forgiving choice, which makes it a sensible first round after a travel day.
Love Course (par 72, just over 7,000 yards)
Davis Love III modelled the greens on Pinehurst No. 2, so the challenge comes on approach shots rather than off the tee. Golf Digest placed it 53rd among America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses in 2007, and it ranked first in its 2005 list of Myrtle Beach courses. Fairways are GN-1 hybrid Bermuda.
Fazio Course (par 71, 6,834 yards)
Tom Fazio routed the course as a single loop that does not return to the clubhouse at the turn, so plan food and drinks for the full 18. It sits between the Dye and Love courses, with tree-lined fairways, lakes, waste areas and steep-faced fairway bunkers.
Dye Course (par 72, 7,343 yards)
The longest course on property and the only semi-private one, with its own clubhouse and its own range; balls are included and you can warm up from 30 minutes before your tee time. Approaches are Tifdwarf, and the roughs mix Centipede and Zoysia grasses for the contrast Pete Dye favoured.
The round, in perspective.
There are two clubhouses, the Resort Clubhouse and the Dye Clubhouse. The Norman runs seven holes along the waterway and is billed as the friendliest of the four, with sandy waste areas and white-faced bunkers. The Love, often called the most balanced, borrows the crowned greens of Pinehurst No. 2. The Fazio, par 71 at 6,834 yards, never comes back to the clubhouse after nine and threads through live oaks, longleaf pines and lakes. The Dye is the long one at 7,343 yards, set inside the gated Dye Estates beside the white sand of the Carolina Bays, and it is the only semi-private course on property. It hosts the Monday After the Masters charity event each spring. Greens on all four are Champion UltraDwarf Bermuda.

Make the trip work.
Use the rate calendar to choose your dates. The week of 10–16 February 2027 is listed at US$98 on every day, while late April and early May top out at US$235. Spring and autumn are full of group trips, so book the Dye and Love first and fill gaps with the Norman. Aerification for 2027 runs course by course: Fazio 7–12 June, Dye 21–27 June, Love 5–10 July and Norman 19–24 July, and the resort asks you to allow 10 to 12 days for recovery. The Dyer Golf Academy, and Putters Pub with its brick-oven pizza, are both at the range.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) is the nearest airport. The resort’s directions run north on Robert Grissom Parkway and US 17 Bypass, then left at 46th Avenue South onto Barefoot Resort Bridge Road. Allow about half an hour, depending on traffic. From I-95, the resort suggests SC 9 at Dillon heading south, or US 501 and SC 22 heading north. Wilmington (ILM) is a longer alternative from the north.
The resort lists five lodging options: Barefoot Resort Golf Villas, Yacht Club Villas, the new Dye Club Cottages, North Beach Resort & Villas, and a Courtyard by Marriott. Its stay-and-play packages are built around three nights in the Golf Villas, with the Yacht Club Villas as an upgrade at extra cost. Packages booked through Barefoot Golf Vacations include cart fees, taxes, daily breakfast at the Resort Clubhouse and a limited allowance of range balls. A 2 per cent administrative fee is added to advertised package prices.
Make a trip of it.
Tidewater, in Cherry Grove about 10 miles up US 17, adds a marsh-and-inlet course to a North Myrtle Beach week. Heading south, The Dunes Golf & Beach Club and Grande Dunes are both within about half an hour. Barefoot Landing, a waterfront shopping and dining centre, sits just across the Intracoastal from the resort, and the North Myrtle Beach oceanfront is a short drive east of the bridge.
Find your season.
Rates are lowest from early January to mid-February and peak from mid-March to early May, with a second high season from late September into October. Summer rates fall back to between US$95 and US$139 a round, but aerification runs through June and July. Walk-on rates start at US$125–158 until 22 November 2026, then US$109–129 to 3 January 2027.
It depends what you want from the round. The Love has the strongest ranking record, including 53rd in Golf Digest’s 2007 America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses. The Dye is the longest at 7,343 yards and sits in its own gated estate. The Norman has seven holes on the waterway and is the resort’s pick for a forgiving round.
How much does it cost to play Barefoot Resort?
The walk-on table starts at US$95 for Sunday-afternoon-to-Wednesday rounds in January and early February 2027 and peaks at US$235 in late April. Two or more rounds take 10 per cent off, and playing all four courses takes 25 per cent off each round. Pricing is dynamic, so the online rate can move.
Can the public play the Dye Course at Barefoot?
Yes. It is semi-private, run alongside the Dye Club membership, but it is on the same walk-on rate table as the other three. Paying golfers get range balls on the Dye’s own practice ground for 30 minutes before their tee time.
Can I book a cheap replay round at Barefoot?
Only on the day. Ask at the end of your first round and the resort sells a reduced replay if there is space. A replay booked in advance is charged at the full rate.
