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.

Only issue was the course let a group start on the back nine, just as we were making the turn, which slowed everything down.

Great

Greens almost all the way back. Rolling much smoother and faster. Fairways in great shape as usual. Tee boxes in pretty good shape too.

Greens have bad area around the edges on a few holes. Sand traps still not draining after rain the night before. Greens recovering from punching.

Nice course, great layout work in progress

Great fairways, most of the tee boxes were in good shape (a few need some work). Greens were slow and bumpy.

Not a bad round but wished greens were in better shape.

The greens and pace of play

The green chair or the worst screens you will find anywhere lot of dead spots a lot of sand over the dead spots the past pin placements have sank down about a quarter to a half inch in the green so when you put your ball rolls over them and goes the opposite direction the pace of play almost 3 hours to play nine holes ridiculous they have no rangers it's an overrated course
