The word on the course.
How golfers talk about it, summarized from public reviews. Their opinions, not our scoring.
The original and tougher of Belfair’s two Tom Fazio courses, the West is a traditional parkland layout framed by gnarled oaks and soaring pines, with subtle elevation giving the holes definition. Golfers single out the finishing stretch along the Colleton River, including the par-5 12th with an infinity green.
Consistently praised
- Classic parkland framing of gnarled oaks and tall pines.
- A strong, scenic finishing run along the Colleton River, including the par-5 12th with its infinity green.
Worth knowing
- The older and tougher of the two Belfair courses; water bites on the closing holes and the greens demand attention.
Golfers recommend
- Play the closing river holes for position; they offer real shot-option variety.
- If you play both, the parkland West against the links East is the draw.
