The Club at Venetian Bay is part of a unique residential community with a Mediterranean theme. Colorful buildings, mosaics, and Mediterranean vegetation surround the championship golf course. The biggest challenge for the designers was transforming what was formerly a cow pasture into a lush, challenging course. The design team of Clifton, Ezell, and Clifton seemed to have little trouble doing so. The front nine plays through the woods while the back nine is more open with a few links-style touches. The most prominent feature of this golf course is the abundance of sand bunkers. There are more than 100 strategically placed throughout. The bunkers present a formidable test but they are nicely balanced with ample landing areas. They are also geared more towards low handicappers, which means they aren't intended to kill your round.

great layout

normally I would rate this course high, unfortunately right now I cannot. The course was not in good condition at all, specially considering the rates were the most I have ever payed.I love playing here but not for the winter rates when the conditions are subpar.I'd rather drive an hour for better value.

Very wet... muddy. Wait a couple of weeks. Hopefully it doesn't rain. Course needs a ranger. 2 foursome playing from tips, had no business playing from there. Group was using a tripod videoing themselves. Backed up the whole course. Called in , no body came out. 45 minutes behind pace. Sucked.

Great layout

Usually I give this course a high rating but considering how much they are charging and the awful conditions, I give it a very low rating. I'm sure it will be better in the future, I cannot justify the rate for the condition.

Great Day Out

Used a hot now deal for a 1:20 tee time, had a great time. Two downsides to todays round (both minor). League that started on the back 9 around 3:30, was not made aware by staff but they allowed us to replay 1-9 without hassle. The driving range isn’t in good shape at all, dirt everywhere with no new grass growing in. The course itself is in great shape I would recommend anyone to get out there and play one of my favorite courses in the area!!

Needs work

Barely any grass in the fairways bunkers don't have any sand in them you're hitting off a hard pan greens you have a lot to have a lot of sod on them of course it's going downhill it got bought and they're not doing any work on it and it's funny they put asphalt car pass so now in the summer when it's 100°, you have oil all over the tires going out into the fairways and killing the grass somebody needs to buy this course that knows something about golf I do not recommend it

Nice golf course

There is foursome in front of us right from the first tee, took us 50 minutes to finish 3 holes, lucky they let us pass though at holes number 4, they were told by the starter when they playing the first hole. After that it is smooth sailing. Me and my wife enjoyed very much, we paired with a pair local couples, they were very friendly. We just made it before sunset. We will come back again.

Nice layout and greens, but poor fairways

First time playing this course and I had higher expectations. Overall layout is good with lots of water on the course. Greens are fast and fairly true, but lots of spike marks and divots.. also alot of repair areas on the greens when we played. The biggest surprise or disappointment was the poor condition of the fairways. Ground was very firm and grass was thin. If I hit a perfect drive center of fairway I shouldn't have to hit off a bad lie.. Also lots of waterlogged areas, fairways/bunkers all over the course. I live 5 min from this course and its rained maybe twice in the past month, but somehow they have water drainage issues? I definitely will be playing other courses in the areainstead of this one. The NSB muni course is in far better condition and cheaper to play.
