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.

The best golf course i’ve been to

This is the second time i’ve been to this course and let me tell you it is the best course i’ve ever played. Will gladly spend $60 a round on this course. Immaculate condition, Staff is very friendly, And the Twosome we were paired with were super cool too! Wonderful pace of place as well. 10/10 in my book. Love it

Greens nearly back but still need some work

Tee boxes and fairways good per usual. Some bunkers are ponds and need work. Greens roll reasonably well, but can be bumpy in spots and hard to trust your read. The greens still need work, but are much better than they were a few months ago. Probably just needs continuous rain, which we've been lacking.

Great course but need better player management

Course was in great condition but they allowed a 6-some to play (supposedly best ball but not really). Caught up to them on the 10th hole and they proceeded to play at a 2 hour 45 minute back (not too bad for 6 but it should not have been allowed). They must have spent a lot in the bar...

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

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.
