About Barefoot Resort and Golf- FAZIO
The Fazio Course at Barefoot Resort is a par 71 that stretches from 6,350 yards at the forward tees up to a daunting 11,356 yards from the back. Designed by Tom Fazio, it features a range of tee options—Black, White, and the forward Whites—catering to golfers of varying skill levels. You can expect a finely manicured layout with Bermuda grass greens, which provide smooth putting surfaces all year long. The course challenges players with its strategic water hazards and well-placed bunkers, making it essential to approach each hole with careful consideration.
What to Expect
The Fazio Course is generally approachable for most golfers, but expect to focus on shot placement rather than sheer distance, especially if you're playing from the back tees. A handicap range of 10-20 will find plenty of challenges, particularly on holes where water comes into play. Be mindful of club selection; the Bermuda greens can be tricky, so giving yourself a good look at birdie chances while avoiding the sand traps is key. Conditions can get breezy, so adjust your strategy accordingly, particularly on the exposed holes.
