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.

Amateur golf player

I being playing at Vententian Bay golf course for several years and management changes a few time but overall I enjoy the course. The cost of the course did went up to a point that it wasn’t worth to play there but recently it came down a bit for me to come back. The food at the golf course did go down a bit which is a disappointment but the staffs are friendly.

Awesome golf course

From start to finish this was a top notch adventure. Met in parking lot by attendant dropping off cart, great staff in pro shop, course conditions were excellent and we played 18 in 3 1/2 hours. Loved everything about this course.

I like this course

Played this for the first time and really enjoyed it....very open with wide fairways and friendly people...a member 4some let my 3some play through...that does not happen often....they had sanded the greens some so putting was tough....as with many courses lately the rough was 6" deep and really hard to find balls probably the wet weather...I'll certainly go back but unfortunately it is an hour from home so won't be a regular...certainly worth trying out...I don't know if they allow walkers but it would be extremely long to do so

Would Play Again

Venetian Bay is a nice layout. When we played the greens were sandy. Would like to play again when the greens are back to normal. The staff here is very nice. The food is also good. If you are in the area you should try it.

Not complaints. Would play again if in the area.

Drove from Jax to Daytona area on the 14th b/c everything Jax was closed due to all of the rain and high tides. The course was also wet but very playable. I dont recall CPO, but there may have been some holes or areas that were. The layout was fine, nothing incredibly memorable. The course was in overall good shape. The greens were slower than what i am used to and i think they were recently punched/sanded.

Venetian Bay Review

A most delightful course to play. Course conditions were fantastic despite a lot of rain in the area recently. All holes had their unique challenges which dictates your choice of offense. Staff and course facilities were superb. Highly recommended.

Course very wet

The course was very wet after recent rains; especially the back nine. Fairways had damaged areas from lawn mowers and several sand traps were full of water. Greens rolled true and tee boxes were in good condition. Ruff had not been mowed due to wet conditions.

Venetian Bay

Great experience as usual. Although pulled up early to hit range. Not available due to recent heavy rain, all good.

If you haven't played here, you should know, they bring your cart to you in parking lot. This gentleman can give you up to date info.

On top of that awesome service, there's also a competent Marshall that keeps a good flow. Course was a bit wet this last time but always a great experience all around.

The crew keeps a tight ship but not overbearing.

Carts also have screens linked for yardage and Bluetooth.

All in all, the best course/ experience you'll find if you're local.

Great bang for the buck!!!

Nice fairways, nice greens don't have awkward deviations like other courses do that are only $10 cheaper. Carts go at good pace, food is great and easy to order on the course thanks to the gps the cart is equipped with!
