At Barefoot Resort, Pete Dye set out
to create something that would linger in the golfer's
mind forever. Bordering the natural white sands of the
Carolina Bays, this visually stunning design is filled
with the infamous pitfalls for wayward shots that have
become synonymous with the Dye name. Both beautiful and
treacherous, the Dye Course is an experience you won't
soon forget. The Dye Course is the only semi-private
facility at Barefoot Resort and will have its own clubhouse
featuring fantastic views of holes 9, 10 and 18. The
clubhouse will offer private member areas, fine dining,
a full fitness complex and elegant lodging accommodations
for the most discriminating traveler.
Pete Dye upholds his reputation of building memorable
and challenging golf courses by creating a stunning
design filled with his infamous pitfalls to capture
errant shots. However, if played from the appropriate
set of tees, players of all abilities will be able
to navigate the Dye Course.The course is a Par 72,
7,343-yard layout that encourages walking for guests
and members with gated, exclusive real estate only
on the exterior perimeter of the property.
Pete Dye is famous for his use of native grasses. The
fairways are GN-1 Bermuda grass, a hybrid developed
by Greg Norman Turf. The approaches are Tifdwarf Bermudagrass,
the greens are L-93 Bentgrass and the dramatic visual
effects are achieved by the Centipede and Zoysia grass
roughs.
