Barefoot Resort - Norman
Course -MBGA
RATING - While this is
the weakest of the four courses at Barefoot, it is a very close 4th
and it still surpasses most courses in the area, primarily because
of the holes along the Intracoastal waterway. While this course also
suffers from the traffic noise from the six-lane highway running
through the center of the project, the increasing development there.
This Greg Norman designed course features seven holes along the
Waterway and only 60 acres of mowable grass. Norman used the waste
areas and the site's natural vegetation to frame each hole. Norman's
philosophy of bringing "bump and run" shots into play, has not been
very well received here. They recently completed a beautiful new
27-acre practice and teaching facility serving the Fazio, Love or
Norman courses.
