Carolina native and leading PGA TOUR professional Davis Love, III, winner of the 1997 PGA Championship may have solidified his reputation as a course designer with his newest creation at Barefoot Resort. Competing with other architects in the Barefoot Resort project such as Fazio, Norman and Dye, Davis was determined to build a course that was unique, visually striking and fun to play. The course even incorporates a replica of ruins from and antebellum plantation house similar to ruins found throughout the Lowcountry. The Love Course was recently ranked '#6 Best New Public Upscale Course' by Golf Digest 2000.
