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 golf course

Everyone gold course related was very nice. Course was in good condition and challenging. We will be back. However, went to restaurant after playing 18 holes to eat, waitress brought water and left us sitting there for at least 15 minutes so we left. Two of them were talking at the bar, then all the wait staff went into kitchen, laughing and eating. We left.

Nice day with my friends

Since the rainy season hitting the course is turning right. We like the course layout greens reachable in 2 without pulling out a 2 iron. The greens were irrelated so putting was somewhat difficult to measure speed. We had a great time and will play again soon.

Improving

I’ve played this course several times over the past 5 years and it’s definitely in the best shape I’ve ever seen it. It appears that they are slowly making improvements to the course and hopefully they keep going. Great job!

Absolutely sucked. Must be a quarter of an inch of sand on the greens. Try in a month. They need to pray for a ton of rain. Greens unplayable. Worth a bucket of balls.

Love this course

Arguably one of the best-valued courses in the New Smyrna/Port Orange/Daytona Beach area. The course is always in great shape, the staff is always friendly, and tee times are always available.

The course itself is player-friendly, challenging on some holes, and well maintained.

I know they’ll be aerating greens this month, but I’m sure they’ll have everything in tip top shape soon thereafter.

Great course in great shape

We played just before they punched greens.

It had rained heavily the day before so water in bunkers…so we just raked bunker and placed ball but course had drained well with no problems.

Conditions deteriorating

Played here in February and again in May. February conditions were great and maybe due to lack of rain the conditions seem to have gotten substantially worse. Greens and tee boxes were ok but fairways and rough need a lot of work.
