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 fun demanding layout

We had good pace of play. Right at 4 hours. Course is in good shape. The greens are a challenge and were a bit for wear but overall in very good shape. Had a great time and were paired up with 2 local players. Lots of fun.

Enjoyable

After reading some negative reviews my expectations were not high. A few patchy greens does not take away from a good layout with fast greens, good fairways and ok tee boxes. No complaints. If you're looking for perfect pay $300. Recommend this course.

May 2 at Venetian Bay

Course was in very good condition considering the lake of rain we’ve had in Central Florida so far this year. Looked a little dry in some areas, but did not effect play. Greens were great except a couple of areas under repair. No one in front or behind us.

A Well Designed Course

Both the course and pace of play were good. This course gets a lot of play, so if you don't book first out, you may encounter slow play. Paying a little more to go out early is worth it.

Good price thru golf now BUT

50% on the greens were not in good shape

The tee boxes also.

I wouldn't pay full price for these conditions.

I don't think the course has invested too much money on maintaining the course.

Honestly it's a shame.

Played it last year it was great...
