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.

Never again

If you want to play on t boxes with no grass this is the place to play if you want to play on greens that are dead or missing a lot of areas this is a pay supply overrated overpriced not worth it I got to laugh at the people that say this is the one of the nicest courses they've ever played I'd hate to see what courses they do play

Slow

We played here many times, this was the first with two slow groups in front of us, two foursomes. It was mostly their green playing…slow. As we were in good company, our group, we did not show our frustration, we just went for it. Finished in about 4 hours and 40 minutes. Course was in pretty good shape a few tee boxes could use a little work. Greens were a little fast. The work done in the course has made it a bit more pleasant. We do like this run, we will come back. Snowbirds are gone…hint, hint.

Constant Improvement

I’m sure some of the changes are to impress the snowbirds, but clearing ugly brush is a good idea. Greens a little slow, but overall conditions very good.

Improved since last played here

If they don't get more grass in the fairways and greens, by summer it will not be a pleasant place to play, but right now it is very playable.

Back again

We came back again and enjoyed our round. A bit windy, but the course conditions were pretty good. A few spots fairways, tee boxes and greens could use a little care. Overall we enjoyed ourselves the pace was good and the staff has always been great. We will be back again.

Greens could be so much better

The course is a good layout, fairways are good, Greens are Not. Too many sandy areas on the greens or weeds. It only takes a little effort to make this a destination for your golf experience.

If you decide to play the course, I would not pay full price, there are better courses that would love to have you.

Very nice check in. Good course situations. GPS flag location yardages off. Pace of play could be improved by letting twosomes off when they are ready at the tee box. Rather than wait for playing partners to show up.
