GolfIn The South

Went to this weekend and saw my homie

If you’ve never been, Barefoot Resort is a great spot for a golf trip. It has 4 courses on site and a couple of restaurants. Big Break Myrtle Beach was filmed on site.

Overall rankings of the courses:

1. Love: lots of elevation changes, greens and fairways were pretty big for the most part. Tons of character

2. Dye: typical Dye design. Pot bunkers and smaller greens with collection areas. Probably the hardest of all 4. Gotta hit it in the right spots! Reading the greens might lead to a migraine.

3. Fazio: I liked this course a lot. Tons of character. Not extremely challenging, but made for a fun round. Good shots lead to good scores.

4. Norman: This course was in good shape, but didn’t make a big impression. No real memorable holes or features. Fairly forgiving. Greens were easy to read - any slopes were very obvious. Still fun, just not my favorite.

Let's go!

COTD: GlenLakes GC

One of my fav courses on the Gulf Coast for the money. There are 27 holes on property and a great practice facility. GlenLakes is in Foley, AL, about 15 mins from Gulf Shores and the Gulf of Mexico.

It’s a great layout that’s fairly forgiving on most tee shots. Around the greens can get a little tricky with very slopped dunes and large bunkers.

One of the hardest and best holes is the 7th - which runs parallel to the main hwy. It’s a relatively short par 5, but the 2nd shot is to a VERY small island green. This hole often plays into the wind, so even if you layup, you’re left with a difficult approach. (The last two pics are of that hole)

If you’re ever in the area, check it out! It’s a great value for the area and usually around $40 or less to play.

COTD: The Dogwoods GC

Not your average muni! The Dogwoods in Grenada, Mississippi is one of the best values in the state! So much so, that it was named 5th best new course under $75 by Golf Digest. Rolling hills, undulating greens, deep bunkers, and tree-lined fairways make for an interesting round. Grenada is halfway between Jackson, MS and Memphis, TN. Check it out if you’re in the area!
