Barefoot Resort in North Myrtle Beach Adds Yacht Club and Golf School as Amenities Expand

Myrtle Beach, SC (PRWeb) March 2, 2007 -- Barefoot Resort & Golf, located in North Myrtle Beach, S.C., has added a golf school and a yacht club with a marina and dockside restaurant to its array of world-class amenities. Centex Homes Myrtle Beach Division is the primary developer of the 2,300-acre resort and residential community, which Where To Retire magazine recently named one of "America's 100 Best Master-Planned Communities."

Barefoot Resort property owners can purchase memberships in the new Barefoot Resort Yacht Club, which opened earlier this year. The facility, located on the eastern side of Barefoot Resort, on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at marker 354, has 142 slips as well as 1,000 feet of transient dockage. The club features concrete floating docks, Ship's Store, private showers, laundry facilities, DockSider's Grille, gas and diesel fuel service, two pump-out locations, a swimming pool with spa, and short and long term slip leasing to the general public.

The Nick Bradley Golf School, which also opened this year, is located near the marina. Bradley, a former member of the European PGA Tour, offers individualized instruction that builds on each student's strengths, rather than reconstructing the student's golf swing from the ground up, as many schools do. The $1.2 million full-service complex includes a wood-fired pizza sports bar and grill, and a 30-acre practice facility. The school offers the first and only Nike Pro Shop, and is a Henry Griffitts custom club-fitting center.

Both join a host of other amenities enjoyed by Barefoot Resort owners.

Centex Homes has developed numerous amenities for the exclusive use of those who live in Centex Homes' neighborhoods. These include an eight-acre residents' club with a Centex Homes lifestyle director on site to coordinate social activities. The residents' club features a swimming pool, fitness center, and tennis facilities. Centex Homes also offers its property owners exclusive use of a beach cabana that overlooks a magnificent stretch of the Atlantic oceanfront.

In addition, Barefoot Resort has four championship golf courses designed by some of the game's biggest names -- Greg Norman, Pete Dye, Davis Love III and Tom Fazio. Golf Digest's list of "America's Greatest Public Courses" ranks the Love Course at number 38 and the Fazio Course at number 81. Golf Digest's first-ever "Top 50 Courses In Myrtle Beach" includes all four courses with the Love Course ranked number 1, the Fazio Course number 6, the Dye Course number 10, and the Norman Course number 28.

"Our outstanding location, sensational mix of housing options, and exceptional amenities have made Barefoot Resort one of the great success stories of coastal Carolina," said Ken Balogh, Centex Homes Myrtle Beach Division president. "Since 2001 when we started at Barefoot, nearly 2,000 villas, townhomes, and single-family homes have been purchased. In FY2005 alone, we had a sales volume of $78 million there, and we were only offering villas and townhomes during that time. Because so many people asked for single-family homes at Barefoot, we've introduced five different single-family neighborhoods."

The casually-elegant Barefoot Resort & Golf is accessed via a historic swing bridge that leads residents and guests across the Intracoastal Waterway.

The resort is conveniently located near shopping, dining, and entertainment venues just across the bridge at Barefoot Landing. There, the House of Blues and Alabama Theatre play host to some of the biggest names in music. Greg Norman's Australian Grille leads a wide choice of excellent restaurants, and boutique shops and factory outlets line Barefoot Landing's lakes and the Intracoastal Waterway.
