Barefoot Resort's Love course back open after Myrtle Beach fires, Fazio course back soon

The Barefoot Resort’s Love Course is back open ahead of schedule after closing due to the area’s spring wild fires at the end of April that spread through the North Myrtle Beach forests. 70 homes in the Barefoot Resort were reportedly lost due to the fires, and some of the wooden bridges on the course were damaged.

The golf course is reported to be in fine shape however, and the fires did little damage to the highly-rated Davis Love III design.

Originally slated to open June 1st, the course opened this past Friday.

The next door Fazio course suffered a bit more extensive damage, especially to some of the bridges that take players over the many wetlands. The prospective date for the reopening of the Fazio course is July 1st, though it’s possible that like with the Love, could open early.
