Belfair Golf: Two Great Fazios ... Nothing Could be Finer
Both 18-hole championship courses show Tom Fazio’s respect for nature and the historic site, and both represent some of his best work. They are very different in character but close in length and challenge. The West Course measuring 7,080 yards from the championship tees and the East 6,900.
The West Course - a parklands design
The West is considered a parklands design, with heavily wooded fairways and a great deal of sculpting and dramatic landforms. Often referred to as one of the most picturesque courses in the Lowcountry, if not the United States, the West Course is best known for its ever-present scalloped, landscaped bunkers. Lovely to look at and unlovely to be trapped in. The middle tees on the West play just over 6,600 yards and carry a solid slope rating of 131. Writers have often said that it's impossible to pick the most unique hole. They are all pretty in different ways. This course tests your game and is a feast for the eyes.
The East Course - a links design
The same can be said for the quality and design of the East Course, which surprisingly, neither looks or feels like the West. It is a combination of the very beautiful with the eminently playable, yet full of its own wonderful quirks. While the West is a parklands course, the East is rooted in the revered links tradition. Perhaps the most memorable and daunting feature of the East layout is the generous amount of “love grass peppered sand” bordering many of the fairways. They serve the dual purpose of giving the course tremendous visual appeal and character, and they help create sight lines and targets for both the long and short ball hitters.
Any way you cut it these golf courses are among the best the country has to offer and they make Belfair truly a golfer's paradise.
The Jim Ferree Golf Learning Center
If you have even the slightest anxiety about getting out on the course with your neighbors, fear not. Belfair’s Jim Ferree Golf Learning Center was named the best Private Club Golf Learning Center in America. Twenty-nine acres have been devoted to a complex that offers a course-like layout to practice every club in your bag.
This is light years away from the standard “driving range” of days of old. There is even a fully equipped indoor driving suite employing the latest video/computer technology in swing analysis and profiling and it's all under cover keeping you comfortable on the wettest of days. And there is a comprehensive short game practice area that allows you to practice every conceivable short shot in actual golf settings.
