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 grass

The fairways have the nicest grass I’ve seen in a while. Greens are in great shape and roll. They are also quite fast.

Very nice Day out!

It was our first time playing the course. We were happy to play a course with woods, water, pretty nice traps, well kept fairways, good greens and excellent staff! A gentleman greeted us in the parking lot and gave us a cart right there (confirming our tee time). The course itself is perfect for all sorts of challenges! We played form the whites and there were three more options adding to the difficulty. Greens were fast and outside of two of them, (some streaks in them for some reason) putting was true! All in all, a great outing for two golfers that carry modest handicaps!

Annual trip

I play at Venetian every time I visit the area. The greens were in grate shape. There were a few areas around the edges that they lost, but overall they rolled extremely well. Fairways were good. Roughs are getting a little thin in spots but over all the course is very playable. Staff was friendly and helpful

very wet and rainy day for golf!

for a nasty day were mother nature was not cooperating. Was surprised how well the course had drained. No sitting water and course actually played well for two days of rain. Greens were in great condition. Looked good. Putting true and we’re very fast. Quite a surprise for the weather I was playing in. I have played this course before, but it was never in this good of shape! thumbs up to the crew!
