Designed by one of America's most revered golf architects, the George Fazio Course is ranked among the nation's top 100 courses.

George Fazio Course Underwent Grass Replacement (January-March 2010)
Palmetto Dunes Oceanfront Resort upgraded the grass on the award-winning George Fazio Golf Course. The TifDwarf Bermudagrass was replaced with a more shade-tolerant, state-of-the-art Diamond Zoysia grass, which promotes superior and consistent year-round playing conditions for golfers. Diamond Zoysia, a warm-weather grass variety developed at Texas A&M, boasts excellent tolerance to low-light conditions, salty soil and high traffic. It retains its color throughout most of the year in many southern climates eliminating the necessity for fall cool season grass over-seed and the corresponding spring transition to warm season grass. These attributes make it an ideal choice for the George Fazio Course at Palmetto Dunes.
