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.

Great afternoon of golf at Ventura

Course was in pretty good condition. There were some bad spots on a few greens, but they didn’t affect my play. The greens rolled true and were lightning fast.

Lack of grass

There was a lack of grass in many places…

Tee box especially, around the greens , some fairways. Also

The greens were about to be lost due to lack of growth , a little to fast for greens that weren’t in good enough condition.

I usually like and enjoy this course … but right now it’s in its worst condition. 😕

Need a Ranger

As we teed off there was a five some in front of us with children running around. We had to skip a couple holes to even come close to finishing before dusk.

Ventura Country Club: A Solid Orlando Golf Gem

This course is a pleasant surprise tucked away in an Orlando neighborhood with well-maintained fairways and immaculate new Bermuda greens that run true. The layout is interesting with generous fairways, subtle elevation changes, and some challenging par-3s that stick with you. Pace of play was solid; finished in about 3.5 hours, even with groups ahead. The 19th hole serves up a solid smash burger and drinks after your round. Only minor gripes: carts don't come with coolers, calgaryprayerimes.com, so bring your own beverages, and the greens can be a touch slow at times. Great value for the Orlando area, definitely worth a tee time.

Confused

This course is relatively short, and on the day we played, there were a lot of families. It initially felt like an ideal course for beginners and high handicappers. However, it is narrow, and the greens are speedy and have a fair degree of slope. This made putting challenging.

On one hole, there is a significant water carry.

Not really sure who the course is set up for.

The staff were friendly, and the condition was average for the cost of a tee time. The carts were new and had GPS.

At times, it can be challenging to determine where the next tee is located.

Staff thumbs down. Won’t be back

First Gentleman in the morning was all smiles and ready to welcome us to the course. Took a couple newbies out to play for my birthday because they said they want to start playing a game I love and spend a lot of hours on. I’ve taken them to the range many times and decided it was time to go to a local course I had played before. One single player was seen during the whole round. We took our time. I was trying to show the newbies something here and there and extra shots were taken. NOBODY was being held up by us. Not one person was seen our entire front 9. Except one ranger who was playing some holes who had said some negative comments for us when they told us to not drive near greens when I was on the next hole approximate 5 feet from the cart path trying to do a turn around because a water bottle was left on the last hole by my wife and I was going to retrieve it. My cart wouldn’t go in reverse so I had to drive forward, got stuck due to it saying I couldn’t drive near greens when I was BEHIND THE GREEN BY ABOUT 50 YARDS+ NEAR A BUSH AND A TREE BASICALLY ON THE NEXT HOLE AND NOT NEAR ANY TEE BOXES. He had the nerve to very aggressively state “what are you doing?!” I said I had to turn around to go retrieve a water bottle and he stated “you HAVE to stay on the cart path then” I said I knew not to drive on or near greens, not on specified holes, and not on par 3s and that I knew the rules. little did he know I educated all players about how the cart path needed to be utilized at almost all times AND WAS BEING UTILIZED JUST NOT THIS ONCE TO TURN AROUND. But hey you know whatever I kept playing my round. Finished hole 18 and was going to start the front 9 as we started on the back 9. Stopped in the pro shop for 2 gatorades and the man at the counter asked “hey are you the guys who started at (blank)?” I said yes and stated I knew we were way behind pace and that I had newbies and would let anyone pass me if we held them up and sorry for the slow pace. Also told them we haven’t had ANYONE near us in the slightest for our entire first 9. Not an actually paying customer that is. Well they didn’t care about that and stated that we needed to speed up and get back to pace. So I said fine I’ll skip some holes to get back to pace heaven forbid I show some new people how to play an actual course. When nobody is around?! Maybe 15 cars in the parking lot and I’m sure most were at the bar. We finished our round in 4 hours as I RUSHED our foursome with nobody behind us because it wasn’t a fun game of golf on a Monday in the offseason anymore it was a game of speed to beat the ghosts following us on the course and the one worker who decided to finish his shift doing a few holes. Safe to say I will not be recommending this course to any of my fellow golfers nor will I be back to play. Awful experience. Golf needs to be more newbie friendly ESPECIALLY WHEN PLAY IS NOT BEING SLOWED DOWN.

Newbis need to start with lessons from pro. And start playing at executive courses and not championship courses. Not fair to newbies or course.

Under Water

Course has a ton of water on it. Carts on cart path, and you could have used a small boat to get to your ball. Wait a few weeks and hope it stops raining here in Orlando to golf this course before you pay the price to golf here.
