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.

Greens need work

Greens were bumpy and sanded , lots of spots in the fairways were bare…I’ve seen this course in much better condition and was somewhat disappointed seeing the shape it was in today. Lots of rain coming in soon should help it along.

The greens

The greens on this course are absolutely horrible you're putting over fertilizer a lot of dead spots on the greens lot of weeds if you're trying to hit anything out of the fairways you're hitting up a hard pan it's just not a well kept course I won't play it again I'll go back up the road and play Cypress Head at least Cypress said you have grass and a fairways and the greens are beautiful

Great course in NSB

We have enjoyed this course a few times . The greens today were very fast, pace of play good and staff super friendly. The run outs were pretty sandy and rough this time, lots worse than a few weeks ago. Good wide fairways and user friendly for all levels.

Great Day

Have played this course several times and enjoyed it every time. Layout is great with a few challenging holes. Course conditions were very good for this time of the year. Will play again.

Very disappointing

The fairways were sparse and the greens were awful some had more sand on them than grass. The greens fee was far too much for the condition of the course.
