Fazio Course at Barnsley Gardens

TBS · July 9, 2020

A quick weekend getaway for those in Birmingham, Atlanta, or Chattanooga. Barnsley is nice quaint resort with a really cool history. I went back in February and lucked out with a mild winter morning to play 18 while my wife went to the Spa.

This is probably one of the most fun courses I have played. It feels like a resort course with lots of similarities to Pursell Farms in Sylacauga AL, but firm quick greens which made it play more like a tournament course. It was the first Fazio course that I have played and I need more. Hole layout was fun and challenging, requiring you to use every club in your bag.

If you are in the surrounding area you should check it out! Anyone else played it?

I have not played Barnsley Gardens, but The Frog in Villa Rica, Ga is a Fazio course and I have played it several times.

I played it a couple times a few years ago. Not a bad course at all but you have to catch it on a deal or it is pricey. And I don't think it's worth the $125 they want sometimes.
