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.

Ventian Club

Looks like they are trying to get the course back in the shape it was previously. Wasnt told about verticutting greens. Not a big deal, but it is annoying to not be given a heads up.

Venetian Bay

One of the best clubs in the Daytona area. Greens were recently verticut and sanded which prevented a five star rating. If you have not played at Venetian Bay give it a try!

Quite impressed

I must say the course was very playable. Greens were verticut but putted OK. Fairways, nice and cut at a proper height. A few wet spots from the rains, nothing we couldn't handle. I highly recommend this course especially if you can get a good price.

Course in great shape.

Course was challenging and a lot of fun to play. Staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant staff was helpful but when asked to change the channel on one of several TV's to watch golf, his response was "he was too busy". And he never attempted to do it. Food was pretty good.

surprised

there was no warning on GN when I booked about the greens getting sanded and rolled the day i played..They were doing the putting green and chipping area right before we teed off the rest of the holes were done earlier.

A few day before it had rained pretty good and the sand traps were a mess.

Hit great 5w toward the 5 green from 215 it splashed in the green side bunker and was not to be found!

Nice course layout, friendly golf staff.

Real nice 18 hole course, friendly staff, especially Fred Gibson, that day’s starter. Overall the course was in great shape for the third week of June ‘24. Five different tee boxes to add additional challenges for all skill levels. I personally did not use the on-site restaurant however the menu was varied, and price’s where inline or better than some surrounding restaurants in the area.

Great Experience

Before I could get out of my car in the parking lot I was already met with my golf cart and the gentleman greeting me grabbed my golf bag out of my car and put placed on the golf cart. Never had this service before, very welcoming. The course was in great shape as well. Challenging speedy greens demanding full concentration. Open layout absent of annoying trees allowing for shot shaping. Great course, highly recommend!

1st time

Staff was very friendly and helpful from the Pro Shop to the started and the "19th hole".. As I was checking in at the pro shop I said it was my first time at the course and the GM overheard the conversation and made a point of welcoming me to the course.

Course conditions were average, greens were slow and bit inconsistent but layout is great. Will definitely go back..

Venetian Bay

Course was very good condition given the lack of rain in the area this past spring. Some brown spot off the fairway. It just rained the night before, so the sand traps were packed, with some standing water, but they were raking them as we played.
