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.

Improving

Overall this course is in pretty good shape. Pace of play was excellent for a Sunday morning. Staff super friendly. Greens are in good shape. Like some of the reviews say there is some crabgrass on them but I don’t think it affects putting. Fairways and tee boxes in good shape.

The Greens are Back

It may have taken three years to repair the damage but I’m impressed with the shape the greens are finally in.

Please let your superintendent and his crew know we appreciate the work they put in the greens this year..
