The Club at Venetian Bay

About
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.

Value for your $
Tee to green The Club at Venetian Bay is one of the best values in Central Florida. The fairways are pristine and the greens have good speed. Thanks to the staff for the upkeep of the course. The amenities rival those of LPGA.
I travel from Debary, right next to Debary Country Club and its worth the travel to this course. Thanks for a great day on the course.
Pace of play is a joke
The course conditions are not worth the fees they charge. They have a starter but the starters don't make sure the groups are properly stacked. You get 5 and 6 member groups and 3 person groups slowing the place down and they don't give a flip. The course conditions are always good in fairways but worn out everywhere else. The greens are better than usual, but nothing spectacular. Just not a good experience when every round is at or over 5 hours.
Pace of play, Course is worn out...still
I don't understand the point of a ranger if you're not going to enforce pace of play. The starter also taking singles and putting them with a foresome when we were only a two some made the round start off poor. Tee time was 918a, we didn't go off until 930a and finished around 2pm.
This course ALWAYS has pace of play problems and I'll give them a call to see if they are going to actually care going forward.
The fairways were in great shape as always. The greens were okay and better than usual but the rest of the course is worn out especially bunkers and hills eroding away.
Great layout that needs some EFFORT to make this place great and that's probably all it would take - caring.
Very Nice Course
Great course for the money! Wide open, forgiving fairways. Nice true greens.
Great day ruined by a 6-some of members
We went out at 11am Sunday expecting it to be a hot but beautiful day. Course was in good shape, greens were a little bumpy because of un-repaired ball marks.
We could not understand why it was so slow until be got to the 15tth hole. There, on 17, were 4 carts with 6 members playing.
Note to owners - this will kill your course.
We enjoyed the day, except for the members who were not aware of the impact that they were causing to the 8 or 9 groups behind them.
Local Resident
Course is in the best shape I have seen it in many years. The only thing stopping from rating the course condition is the sand traps. The traps are always flooding from rain. They were pumping the water out of the worst traps.
Worth the drive
Had a day away from the wife so headed on over from Orlando really nice layout great amenities great staff would highly recommend
Fun course plays longer than you think due to soft fairways and wind t
Good course with fair price. Excellent staff and nice amenities including frriendly bartenders, cart attendants and on course beverage service. Quick food at the turn and plenty of ice was nice! Some good pin placements and gracious fairways but a lot of forced carries makes it challenging. Worth the trip
