Type Semi-Private
Par 70
Length 6002 yards
Slope 125
Rating 68.2

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.

Way Overbooked

I booked this course while visiting my son and daughter in law. My wife came along just to watch but they still charged us another $25 for her to ride in the cart with me. They added a single golfer to our group to make a foursome. We were playing "best ball" so we stayed right behind the group in front of us. My son and the young man that played with us occasionally hit 300yd. drives so we had to wait for the group ahead to clear the green on a couple of short par 4's. Somehow they booked a single behind us. He eventually saw that we were backed up as far as you could see and left. The foursome behind him wanted to play through us but my son pointed out that we were waiting on the group ahead. They then proceeded to curse us and even used their cart to run my son and his wife off the cart path as they were trying to move away from the abusive behavior! Later, the staff informed us that one of the players in the group behind us was a member that had frequent complaints. It became clear that they weren't going to address this issue with the club member but they did ,at least, escort us to our vehicle. We won't be back!

We’ll Cared For

This course covered the greens during last year’s hurricane and it shows, greens in very good condition. Pace was good, refreshment cart came around twice per 9. Course restrooms clean and well kept. Some water, plenty of sand……. Fairways in good condition.

Slow pace

Always fun to play Ventura. This time pace was very slow mainly because of 4 guys trying to play from black tees when they probably should have used mens forward. And noise! Didn´t know ready golf either. The Marshall should have admonished them. I have been playing golf in Florida for 20 years and I am seeing this a lot lately people dont seem to realise that playing from the appropriet tee makes the game much more enjoyable for them and at the same time not slowing everybody else down.

Don’t be fooled

Don’t be fooled by these reviews they just caught a good day I’m a local and live right by the course every time I play it’s a tourist trap and 5/6 hour rounds waiting 30min on the tee box stay away from here and Rio down the road

Love this course!

Always enjoy playing Ventura, however, the day we played we found that getting something 'light' to eat at the turn took much longer than usual. Four groups got around us going from #9 to #10 before we got our hotdogs! It delayed our back nine quite a bit. Overall the experience was good.

Nice Florida golf

1st visit here. Good layout and lovely clubhouse. Thought it was good value and pace of play was excellent 3hrs and 45 mins for a 4 ball, never waiting.. Greens were fast and true but were very hard as were the fairways which meant lots of shots that hit both were running or bouncing off and as there was little growth in the margins a few balls ended up in the hazards. Bunkers were in good condition compared to some we played. Would definitely come back.

Only escape from slow play in Orlando

Got to say they’re the only place not over booking right now. I’ve played on many Mondays and Thursdays past two months now and they’re very fun 4 hour ish rounds. Best kept secret in Orlando for the price and quality. Hope that stays the same!!

Great course conditions and well groomed greens made for a very enjoyable round of golf.

Fun and challenging course that must be played very strategically to score well.

Will certainly visit again.

Disappointed

I really enjoyed this course the last time I played it before the renovation that took place last year, but I was very disappointed this time. I thought the greens were not what I envisioned after being shut down for such a long time and the course itself had do many bare spots. The condition certainly didn’t warrant having golf carts that can’t get you anywhere close to the greens. And to top it off we had to wait on every hole because of the backup.
