The golf course at the Ventura Country Club, situated east of Orlando near many major highways and the airport, is semi-private but the facility welcomes outside play. It is a short course that features undulating greens with sudden breaks. The golf course has challenging par-3 holes that put a premium on shot accuracy. There are strategically placed bunkers throughout as well as water hazards on 14 holes. Most of the well-manicured fairways are lined with homes. The par-5, 13th hole is Ventura Country Club's signature hole. It requires a shot from an elevated tee over water and past thick forestry on the left and an approach shot to small, well protected green that slopes back to front.

Course is in great shape

Fairways and greens were in really good shape. Not a whole lot of dry spots considering the time of year. Electric carts with GPS were nice. Had a few physical bathrooms with bottle filling stations throughout the course. Perhaps a smidge pricier than we would’ve hoped but it’s Florida and 2024, hard to complain when the course was great and only $50

Poor Customer Service

I have a group that likes to play here at least twice a month, beautiful course, nice layout, and some challenging holes to say the least.

However, I just played with the same group this past Saturday (May 4th) and after practicing at the chipping area we went to go get our carts and they informed us that we would have a single in our group which was fine. This was about 5 minutes before we had to tee off and so I just told the cart attendants that just let the single know we are going to be on the tee box and he could just bring the cart when they get there. So, it was time for us to tee off and we did and was able to play the first two holes and our 4th still hasn't shown up and so before heading to the third hole I stopped by the cart barn to see if he has arrived and they said he no showed and there was an empty cart and I asked if I could take it and the older gentleman pointed and so I assumed I could put my stuff on the cart and as I was doing so in a very aggressive tone he looked at me and said "Did I say you can take the cart.." and at this point this is the second time he has said something rude upon me being there and so I said, well I still need a cart since we are heading to the next hole and the guy didn't show and I paid for one... He then went on to exchange a few more words that truly made me uncomfortable before the other younger cart attendant was like you can just take the cart in which I did and the older one responded sarcastically with "see what did I tell you, you can take the cart"...

Truly didn't want to play but wasn't going to be the sour apple in my group and leave them short.

Always one of my favorites

Course is always kept in great condition. Narrow course. Not long but challenging. Greens in excellent shape. One of the better courses around and one of my personal favorites.

Nice Community Course

Ventura Country Club (or The Vent) was a very nice and enjoyable course given the size of the community it was part of and a good value for the price.

I found the fairways and greens to be in good shape, although everything was pretty firm - but that could have been because there has not been a lot of rain lately.

There are a lot of elevated greens and several hidden holes, so bring your short game. Also, almost every hole has water on one side or another, but usually allows for error to the opposite side, so is a very manageable course for high handicappers.

My only complaint would be the pace of play or, really, lack of any course ranger. My tee time was at 4:10 p.m. and the next group teed off immediately after me even though their tee time wasn't for another 10 minutes. And the group behind them did the same. It made the whole course very busy and backed up.

Nice round with good pace of play on a well maintained course

We had a nice round withhold pace of play on a well maintained course. Greens were nice and also most fairways ( dry weather makes it more difficult to maintain). T-boxes ok but I always tee-up so no issue.

Great value and good greens

The course has come a long way since the remodel. Greens were in great shape, rolled well and were decently quick. Fairways were good and while some tee boxes need work but they are tee boxes so I don’t put too much into that for overall course review. It’s a tight track with lots of OB and water so make sure you’re hitting it straight. It does get pretty crowded so the round moves slower than average, but for the $$ it is an excellent choice. Great value and we will be back as long as greens stay in condition they were when we played. It definitely beats many other courses charging $80 or more still as it is starting to get really hot really fast.

Very playable course

Not extra long and do to dry conditions played a bit short. One tough par 5 on front side due to big water carry. Otherwise this course will not beat you up fun course. Staff friendly and great pace that day.
