The Club at Venetian Bay
About
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.

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.
Course is in very good shape
Enjoyed the whole experience. Greens were slow and shaggy but you could see they are working to improve them by fertilizing. I would definitely go back.
NICE LAYOUT
CONDITIONS WERE NOT GREAT AS THE COURSE HAD SOME GREENS CHOPPY AND VERY SLOW
LOVED THE LAYOUT AND PLAN ON PLAYING AGAIN IN LATE SPRING
Always a great day at Venetian
Greens roll slow is my only complaint. Great conditions as always. Staff is excellent as well. The new range is really nice too.
Great course
Vastly improved from previous years.
Greens rolling much better. Clubhouse and Beverage cart didn’t have a sandwich at the turn at noon which was odd.
Did have a really interesting experience with a single golfer. We were a 2some. I’m a 10 and my buddy is a 5. They paired us with a couple. They were both high handicaps but very nice and fun to play with.
They kept pace. There were some 4 somes ahead of us. It was Sunday morning at 11 at a busy course. There was a single guy who had already played through multiple groups.(He even played through a 3 and a 2).
He was a “poser” guy who stands at the 150 with his arms in air when we were putting.
Couldn’t understand that there was nowhere to go.
It became more obvious later why he was alone.
When we let him go at the next hole he had words for all of us.
He certainly made the day interesting and he was definitely the biggest douche nozzle I’ve seen in 45 years of golf.
But the Venetian is a great course.
Long drives from greens to T blocks.
The cart GPS is as good as anywhere.
Windy
We had a challenging day. The course was in great shape. It was the wind which was the main challenge. We will cone out again. Staff is always friendly.
Venetian Bay is in great condition
I’ve golfed here several times in the past, and this might have been the best conditions yet. First cut was mowed down so you didn’t lose balls a couple feet off the fairway like in the past. Tee boxes and the fairways are in excellent condition. Greens mostly good (2 or 3 holes had some issues) but better than it’s been in the past. Pace of play was great until last four holes but still finished in less than four hours. One small nit is the cart on several holes turned off for a split second giving me a warning for being off the course when I was on the cart path - a bit irritating.
Top notch
I play Venetian once a month.
Great experience. From the cash register to the starter to the Marshall to the bag drop. Everyone was super friendly and accommodating.
They have been putting some effort into the greens and T blocks.
I will play again soon.
Love the renovation
Excited about all the course renovation going on. Clearing out overgrown vegetation, refurbishing sand traps, and new tee boxes. The only negative were the greens. No consistency from green to green.
Definitely will be back. Kudos to ground crew.
Very nice
Extremely happy to have been able to play this course. Very well maintained.
You want to play on a course where nobody has a personality other than maybe one or two people in the clubhouse because the head pros a total idiot also you have sand traps the renovating and they fill them up full of dirt didn't even level them out best thing about it is the clubhouse the service in the clubhouse is fantastic and a cart girl you want to play a nicer course and spend less money go to Cypress Head it's in Port Orange
Headpro
They have a pro there by the name of Joe who is probably the most arrogant person I have ever met in my life the best part about this course is the staff and restaurant in the court girl as far as the rest I have nothing good to say about him they also have bunkers that they filled in with piles of dirt that they haven't leveled out makes the course look trashy
