Golfers of all skill levels will enjoy this outstanding course as it offers several teeing options. Like the other Barefoot Resort courses, the Love features GN1 Bermuda grass fairways, Tif-Sport Bermuda approaches, 419 Bermuda roughs and outstanding greens with Champions Bermuda grass.

Barefoot Resort Love Golfer Reviews & Ratings
We would have given the course 5 stars except for the starter as he practically ignored our 4ball handing us score cards and little else. He appeared to be concentrating on another (larger) group and eyeing a bigger tip !! Besides this we enjoyed our day on the Love course which was in great condition with both fairways and greens very well maintained. The majority of tee shots are to wide landing areas but accuracy is required for the approach shots. Plenty of hazards to negotiate but a very enjoyable experience.
