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.

Worth it

I have played this course numerous times over the past 10 years or so. It is improving! The newer golf carts with GPS are much appreciated. Our time tee was at 8am. We finished 11 45am. So a good pace of play. Greens are average at best. But are improved from rounds from previous years. Traps are on great shape. Although could use additional rakes. Tee boxes, like the greens, are average at best, but improving. Fairways are good. Overall, a fun track that is not a ball eater and has a much better than average Florida layout.

Great Layout and Friendly Staff

I really loved the layout. The greens were in good condition but grainy in spots. It made the speed of putts unpredictable at times. The rest of the course was in excellent condition. It was the right amount of challenging to make it enjoyable. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. My son and I had a blast.

Enjoyable outing

Tee boxes, greens and fairways in very good condition. Lack of rain has dried out the course but still very playable. Great staff and cushy seated carts make play more pleasant. One of my favorite courses in the area

Good Florida golf

Staff and patrons friendly, pace of play okay, considering mostly foursomes. Conditions were good and the layout was easy to read for a first time course player. Wind was high at my round, which added a challenge. I would be very happy to play regularly here.
