George Fazio is the "founding" member of the distinguished Fazio golf course design "dynasty". His design work, which followed a successful career as a touring professional golfer, was most famously carried forward by his nephews Tom and Jim Fazio. More recently, Jim's sons Tom Fazio II (also known as Tommy) and Jim Fazio Jnr (also known as Jimmy), have also kept the Fazio flag flying.

George became a successful professional golfer, with two PGA Tour wins to his name, career earnings of more than $50,000, and a third place finish in the 1950 U.S. Open, won by Ben Hogan. Like most golfers of his generation, Fazio was also a club pro during his touring years. During the 1940s, he was head pro at Hillcrest CC in Los Angeles, where many of Hollywood's celebrities played.

After his playing days, Fazio became a well-respected golf course architect, often working with his nephew Tom Fazio and course designer Lou Cappelli. Between them they built many notable golf courses, that often incorporated clover-leaf and butterfly-shaped bunkers.
