The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
A Davis Love III design widely considered the most acclaimed of Barefoot's four courses, with generous fairways, large Pinehurst-style greens, and antebellum plantation "ruins" framing several holes.
Consistently praised
- Golfers praise the hole-to-hole variety and big undulating greens, with a strong closing par 5 among the best finishes on the Strand.
- The plantation-ruins stretch on the early holes gives a memorable, vacation feel.
Worth knowing
- The manufactured ruins are polarizing, a striking signature to some and gimmicky to others; players who position approaches well get the most out of it.
Golfers recommend
- Pick tees that let you reach the large greens in regulation, since scoring is about approach precision.
- Worth pairing with another Barefoot course to compare the four-course complex.
