Thinking About Living in Barefoot Resort & Golf (Members Club)?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Barefoot Resort & Golf (Members Club) and the surrounding Myrtle Beach / North Myrtle Beach / Grand Strand golf market.
Barefoot Resort & Golf in North Myrtle Beach is best known as an ordinary golf-tourism trail destination -- four championship courses by four different marquee architects, radiating from one clubhouse, open to any paying golfer. Layered on top of that public-golf identity is a genuine members-only program whose eligibility is restricted to owners in a specific, named subset of Barefoot Resort developments plus the separate North Beach Plantation project.
Golf & Course
Four courses -- Greg Norman, Davis Love III, Tom Fazio, and Pete Dye designs -- share one clubhouse at Barefoot Resort, together totaling 72 holes. On a daily-fee basis, all four are open to any paying golfer, exactly the ordinary trail-golf model that disqualifies most of this market's famous courses.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
The members-only program (private lounges, GPS carts, locker rooms, and reduced/complimentary green fees) is available only to owners in the Centex/Pulte Homes-built developments, North Towers/Yacht Club Villas, and The Retreat within Barefoot Resort, and to owners in the separate North Beach Plantation project. A non-ownership-based Corporate Membership tier also exists. Monthly dues are $205 for 'Golf and Social' or $85 for 'Social' only; initiation runs $15,000-$20,000 for eligible properties without an attached membership, or a $2,750 transfer fee for eligible resales that already carry one.
Living in Barefoot Resort & Golf (Members Club)
Barefoot Resort spans multiple distinct residential product types under one resort brand -- condos, villas, single-family sections built by different developers (including Centex/Pulte) -- and only some of these carry membership eligibility. The Retreat and North Towers/Yacht Club Villas are named eligible sections; North Beach Plantation is a separate, adjacent project that also carries eligibility.
Location & Surrounding Area
North Myrtle Beach, along the Intracoastal Waterway, with the shared clubhouse at 4980 Barefoot Resort Bridge Rd.

What Buyers Should Verify
- Confirm the complete, current list of eligible developments/sections directly with Barefoot Resort -- eligibility lists can change and this session relied on the club's own FAQ/enrollment pages.
- Confirm whether membership is effectively automatic/expected for buyers in the eligible sections or genuinely optional in practice -- the enrollment-window language suggests optional-but-encouraged, not mandatory.
- Confirm whether the golf course/clubhouse area itself is gated -- not resolved this session.
Notable
- Four courses by four different marquee architects (Norman, Love, Fazio, Dye) share one clubhouse.
- Members-only program eligibility is restricted to specific named developments, not the resort broadly -- a genuine, narrow residential-bundling exception layered on top of otherwise ordinary trail golf.
