The Club at Venetian Bay

My understanding is this course changed management in the winter of 2023. I was told when we checked in that the course had been really run down when new management took over but they felt the course was getting better every day. They are working on several greens, particularly on the front nine around the edges. A lot of sand on the edges to get grass to grow. On this day, many sand traps were full of water, mainly on the back nine, Fairways and Tees were pretty good. If a green was being worked on, the other 90% of the green was good, not great. The ball did roll well. They putted better than they looked. We played this course a few times under the old management a few years ago and the conditions were overall pretty good. We did not play it when it had run down. I think there is really good potential here with some work. We like the room off the tee for driving and multiple tee locations offers you an easier or tougher test based on your level of play. They are offering some good rates to possibly win back some lost business. It's definitely worth playing.

I've played this course for many years and it is really going downhill the greens are the worst around some of them are dying bunkers are full of water a lot of dead areas around the greens nothing but dirt to hit off of not worth the money

Play discourse and four of the greens were damaged by the green cutter with hydraulic fluid or diesel fuel spilled all over the greens it'll take a couple months for them to come back me personally out of fire the man on the spot don't waste your money playing here the greens are horrible all of them when I have to laugh at the people that say this is a beautiful course I'd hate to see what they play back home

The greens on this course are the worst Greens in the area never have puttered on such terrible greens before a lot of dead spots and uneven spots you're going to spend this kind of money I suggest you find a nice course to play because this isn't it

I have played here many times, but it has been probably 6 months since I last played there. Conditions on this course have been good and bad over the years. Right now, the course conditions are fair and need some improvement. This could change in a month or so if they work at it. The course layout is fun, but the conditions take something away from that. The green mower leaked oil on at least one green so that will kill the grass and take a while to repair.

Greens need some work. Otherwise I would definitely play again.

The course, it's torn up a little bit extremely wet. Bunkers have a lot of damage to them and/or just full water. Gree s are damaged and unputable..

Personally the course should have been cart path only. Lots of wet stops and lots of ruts were being left after the carts went over the fairways.

They just ariated the fairways and greens but greens were still really good. GREAT layout and fun course. The whole staff was super nice. Will go back if in area.

Great course love the fairways and the fast greens

Such a great layout but the greens are still a mess . Not much more to say

Great day other than greens were punched back 9…. But that’s maintenance

Greens are starting to fall off a little and it looked they are addressing them.

I haven’t played this course in a while and found many improvements have been made since my last visit. Cart paths have been established throughout the course, greens and tee boxes are in great shape as well as the fairways. Staff seem to be very accommodating and the starter got me off by myself this morning before the a.m. “rush.” I also noticed the deck outside the restaurant has been expanded. This course is in the best shape it’s been in in years and I would definitely recommend playing it.
