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.

Course condition
Have a lot of greens with dead where you're putting through dirt also off the greens around the Fringe of the greens is all dirt course is not worth the price they charge got stuck behind a foursome that were members took us 3 hours to play nine holes they would not let us throw the members on this course have no golf etiquette
Best Course For The Money That I've Played Locally,
No surprises here. Just a good layout golf course in good shape.. I had reads a review that said the greens hadrecently been punched. They were a little bumpy but still very fair. As I checked in the staff was very friendly and appreciative that I came to play. It had the feel of a resort course but at a much better price. With just a few exceptions the course was in very good shape especially considering how hot it's been lately - it was 102 when I played. I stopped after to nine to cool off in the bar/restaurant and even though I only wanted to indulge in the a/c and get some water, the young lady behind the bar seemed most happy to help me. My overall experience was so favorable I came home and booked another t-time with them day after next.
Great deal
I played for $20 (don’t know why it was so low) and it was too good to pass up. The recently aerated greens were disappointing but I love the course! Rained in us at the 10th then it cooled off and was very comfortable to finish the round.
When the greens come in after the aerating
This course will be great
Fairways were excellent as were the tee boxes
Great place to play
Venetian golf
Everything is great!
Aereated greens were as good as could be
Last time it was completed they did the fairways as well-too much to handlr
Great Day at Venetian Bay
Love playing this course. I also love tge improvements they are putting in, with the carts and the cart paths. The layout is challenging and brings out the best in all levels of Players. Staff is great and the clubhouse is exceptional.
A course I will always look to play.
Good Round
We had a good round. Greens were a bit slow. Conditions were good. A few t boxes could use a little TLC, otherwise everything else was good.
Finally good greens!
Rest of course in great shape even looks like they worked on bunkers and they’re draining properly. Greens were fairly quick and rolled well. First time in a while.
Great track,
Course was great. I know it is slow season but there was a need for a ranger.. Sending a twosome and then a single out makes for a long round..
Ventian Club
Apparently it only takes a couple of REALLY slow groups to make the rest of us have a frustrating day. Aside from that the course is in pretty good shape and a pretty good layout.
Holy moly. Greens great.. leave your soft spikes at home, bring a pair of BOOTS.. under water ..not playable. 90 degree rule. Carts on GPS will shut off. Enjoy walking 50 yards to your ball. It'll take weeks of dry weather to dry this out.. it's the rainy season, good luck with that. Maybe worth 15 to 20 bucks if you don't mind playing in mud. By the way , I'm a 6 handicap.. not going to be fun for higher handicap players. Total bummer...Yikes....
