am I crazy to think Barefoot Fazio is the best golf course in Myrtle Beach?
I adore the Dunes Club. And is my favorite. Part setting , part history.
but I think BF Fazio is the best course at the beach.
Better than Fazios work at TPC for sure.
BF Fazio is right up there in most of our "MB Top 10" lists.
It's not too hard to pick a favorite, but we go nuts trying to determine the best
course. It's easier to have a top 10 and even then there are multiple courses that
we need to squeeze in the 10th spot.

BF Fazio is a beautiful course - and each of us has our own opinions - I think Fazio is the best of the BF courses
Golf is just an excuse to drink whiskey and smoke cigars
Personally I do not care for the BF Fazio course. The layout is fantastic but the sand traps have been almost unplayable the last 2 times our group was there. Three members in our group of 12 lost golf balls in green side bunkers. This was with all of us watching the shot fly into the bunker but the sand was so soft that the ball plugged and disappeared. It has happened to me twice and it can ruin the round. Even when the ball was findable it was buried deep in soft sand. I have never had a bad lie in a trap at the Dunes, the ball rolls to the bottom and sits up like you see on tv.
I agree with Art. To tough for me to pick one best course. I have a number I would consider in the top ten.
Fazio is my favorite of the BF courses, for sure. My favorite in Myrtle is Caledonia. I have not played Dunes Club or Tidewater, but can cross all of the other "higher end" courses off the list as played.
My top courses-- with top two being clear cut leaders are:
1) Dunes Club
2) Caledonia
3) Tidewater
4) Kings North (depending on conditions/time of year).
5) Barefoot Fazio (again-- depending on time of year played)
6) TPC
7) Heritage
8) Pawleys
9) True Blue
10) Tigers eye (from 10 years ago)...
Fazio may be the better of the 4 Barefoot Courses but for some reason Love Course seems to get more attention from the people who rate the MB area courses.
