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 tee boxes and fairways, bad greens

I don't know why the greens are so bad when rest of course is good. I like the course but probably will allow the greens to improve before coming back.

Venetian Blind to its greens

Good track with roomy fairways. I thought I heard this course had excellent, fast greens, but the day I played they were furry with some bad spots. Because of that, I’ll drop my rating to 4 out of 5 stars.

Quality But

Quality course, but tee boxes need much work; most are crowned which makes you search for level spot!

Front nine is in tough shape and greens were bumpy and dried out with some burn spots. Back nine was in excellent shape and a lot more fun.

Slow greens

The greens are the worst in Central Florida have a lot of dead spots you have to put through with a lot of fertilizer on the Green on called for overpriced for the course it's a 40 to 45 hour course not no $60 course

Course was in good shape, just VERY wet.

I teed off early in the morning, and it looked like they must have irrigated all night. Overall, course was good, but lots of LONG second shots with very little roll in the fairways. Always enjoy playing here. BTW, all 18 holes are open; the booking site says you have to play the front nine twice, but not true!

Renovations

Have played this course before and see now after playing it again they've taken a lot of the traps out making it a lot easier taking a hazards out like that hopefully it will speed the play up cuz anywhere for play there is four and a half to five and a half hours because of a members majority of the members don't have any golf etiquette to let the faster player through

Proved folks wrong

First time playing this course .. since moving here 3 years ago only heard negative’s things about the course but over the passed couple months I have heard they were working on bringing it back. Still have to cut the greens but will be great in the next week or so…. After playing Thursday I will be playing this course weekly!! Through out the whole course you can see that they are working to make this place great!!!!!

Beautiful course

Beautiful course and well laid out only downside is the play after 2:30 doesn’t have beverage carts and both bathrooms on the course were locked. Something they need to address.

Overall, nice, greens and some tees could be better

Interesting layout, some water in play. Greens were pretty bare, and were in :fuzzy" condition , which made putting not only difficult, but unpredictable. Some parts of the course were undergoing repair (some bunkers had grass growing around the edges - not sure if oversanded accidentally or on purpose, areas around some greens had just been resodded, etc.), but overall course conditions (outside the greens was pretty good). Cost would be a factor in deciding whether to play here again.
