We started before 7 AM and got done just over four hours. We were the second to tee off. Then there was split teatime so Folk started on the back nine mid morning and the course was filled up yet it moved quick enough. The staff was great. The course was in good condition. The greens rolled good. The sand bunkers were an excellent condition and had been maintenance the morning of. Overall, just an excellent experience. I can see why some people would rate it low based on frustration of pace of play alone, but I say Book with confidence that you will get to play some golf.

This review is for a round played on 8/20/2025. Although completely different courses, I'm urged…read moreto compare a few things to my experience at True Blue Golf Club, which I played two days prior. First off, I have to compliment the gentleman who took the reservation by phone several days back. His name is Ken or Kenneth. I couldn't have had a more pleasant and welcoming first impression. Upon check in, the staff was great in getting my group set up with rental clubs, which I believe were $60-65. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but i believe they were the Callaway Ai Smoke HL series. Good rentals, but if I'm being super picky, my driver still had some dried mud on it. The course has had a lot of rain lately, and it's not like I couldn't wipe it off, but I still feel like I should mention that. For comparison, True Blue had Titleist T200 rentals, which are targeted to a slightly better player (neither a positive or negative here, just depends on what you might prefer to play). The rentals at True Blue were noticeably cleaned and scrubbed. Dye Course rentals were a little muddier but again, the course had some rain and so we just made use of the handy club cleaner on the cart. They had closed the range to mow it before our midday tee time. It probably needed a mow as they hadn't been able to get to it with all the rain, understandably, but I couldn't help but be slightly disappointed not to get a chance to get a feel for the rental clubs. One of the guys tried to make light of it by saying something to the effect of, "you'll just have to take whatever swing you got straight to the course." Having looked forward to this round for months and hoping to play well, it just made it a slight bummer to start like that. I did find the practice putting green to be very similar to green feel on the course, which sometimes doesn't happen, so yay for that. The starter was great and very welcoming! I was happy with the course conditions. Again, they've had a ton of rain lately so it wasn't in pristine shape, but I didn't expect it to be. The greens were in good shape and rolled pretty well, and the fairways kept the ball sitting up nicely. There were some rough spots on the edges of fairways and tee boxes, but for the most part, it didn't ruin any of the experience. This was my first Dye course, and I really enjoyed the visuals of each hole. If you are hitting your targets, it feels rewarding to score. The course is fair, and it isn't as "tricked up" as True Blue. It can also be forgiving by moving up to one of the further tee boxes. My group played from three different tee boxes and it made the course manageable (for the most part) for all skill levels. We saw the beverage cart attendant after the 3rd or 4th hole. She was great! She did warn us that she wouldn't be coming around again, and advised us to stock up at the turn. One more bummer to note... the starter said there were player assistants roaming around with waters that we'd see every now and then that would make sure we were staying hydrated. Unfortunately we relied too much on that information. We never did see one. At the 12th hole, we met an employee who was playing and he said we should have seen one. He was nice enough to call up and inquire for us. Another gentleman rolled by about a hole later and said sorry but the player assistant had gone home, but we should see some water at hole 15. Maybe we missed it, but we failed to see anywhere to get water on the rest of the course. We were quite parched. Definitely come more prepared than we did or stock up more at the turn. The carts seemed a little older but had the goodies attached - GPS screen, club and ball cleaner, and little extra cubbies above your head to hold extra stuff. All in all we had a good time. I hate that the lack of range availability and the drinking water situation left a bad taste in my mouth, but if you go on a day where everything is working as it should be, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

I especially liked all the choices you had on the tee box. There were some tricky blind shots and a fair amount of water that comes into play. You get the GPS enabled carts and there is one bathroom on each side.

I booked a long weekend at Ocean Creek with a package deal to play golf and chose this place…read more It's very close to the resort but it was not that great of an experience for me. There are just way too many bunkers. There are multiple bunkers guarding the greens and also fairway bunkers. There is not a lot of water, maybe 3 holes where water comes into play. They do have a nice driving range, a chipping and separate putting area as well. They have a great staff to help with your golf bag and load the cart. They have a starter and rangers who patrol the front and back to ensure pace of play. Ron and I got partnered up with 2 other singles to make a 4 some. One guy from New Jersey named John and a guy from Kernersville, NC named Mark. I asked about the signs that said 'watch for gators' and they were serious. We saw a good size gator cruising around in a large pond, see the pic I added. I doubt I would play here again just because there are close to 70 golf courses in the Grand Strand so there are a lot of options to try.

This review is for the Davis Love III course. I've played…read morethe Noman and the Fazio before but not the Love or Dye courses. The Dye course is was being aerated so by default, I played the Love course today on a Monday with an 8am tee time. I was solo so I got paired with a father and son, John and Mike from Massachusetts. They had never played that course before so we all figured it out as we went along. The difficulty level is high. Many strategically placed bunkers. Many in the fairway, along the the sides of the fairway and many are green side bunkers. These impacted your play on most every hole. There is a fair amount of water that comes into play as well. There are ponds, creeks and marsh areas throughout. The tee boxes were all in excellent condition as were the greens. Most all of the fairways were green and well maintained. Like all the other Barefoot Resort courses, you get the GPS enabeled golf carts. There were two bathrooms on each of the nine holes. Pace of play was excellent and it didn't feel like it was crowded or rushed. We played 18 holes in about 4 hours and 15 minutes. There are several Par 3's that are very reachable. Like the other courses, you do not come back to the clubhouse on the turn. They did have a cart making regular rounds and were stocked with sandwiches as well as the beers, spirits and non-alcohol beverage choices. I got a great rate of $125.00 which is reduced from the Spring rate. I'll be looking forward to playing the Dye course my first opportunity.
