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.

Reading skills would be nice

Course in good condition considering Ian & Nicole storms. Sign on the door cart path only. Group in front of us, obvious residences “their carts”, drove all over the course leaving track marks everywhere. Not even 90%. I don’t understand residents not concerNed about their home course, unless of course none of them had any reading skills. Even with cart path only we were able to enjoy our round. We like this course, respect the rules. and will return,. Hopefully with others golfers who are considerate to the rules for the day. Or at least with reading skills.

My only complaint is that the green are a little slow.

I am use on green that are 9.5 to 10 on the stamp meter.

But y will be back anyway because I love this lay out and the fairways and the tee are superb.

Not close enough to my home

If I lived closer, I'd play this course a lot. Fairways were very good. Greens were excellent. Tee boxes a tad chewed. Bunkers were hard, but there's been lots of rain lately.
