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.

Early in the morning the course was very wet even though we have not had much rain in the past few days. Had two golf cars break down during the round.
Nice Track
Played following a heavy rain so the track was pretty wet. It was also recently aerated. Overall however the course was very playable, and in good shape. I'm sure when everything fills back in the course will be a 5 star! We played as a twosome, and never had a wait, and never had anyone catch us.
Thank you for visiting us at The Club at Venetian Bay. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Needs work
They're charging close to $50 course isn't worth 35 maybe 40 max greens are horrible need a lot of work a lot of crabgrass on the greens and around the greens on The Fringe
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. We are going to pass on your feedback to the team. Thanks for visiting The Club at Venetian Bay, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Great day…
Had a 9:00 tee time but got out earlier…nobody in front or behind me. The course is in great condition with only a few wet spots here and there. It was aerated probably last week but almost healed. Greens are in good shape but a little slow. Once adjusted, not a problem. Dick in the pro shop is always great to see and is always upbeat. Great layout for either a beginner or a scratch golfer, but there are still plenty of holes that are challenging from the tees further back. I play here regularly and definitely recommend playing here.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing The Club at Venetian Bay.

This course is fair, challenging, and has many holes that are secluded and isolated from developing neighborhoods. The wildlife we saw included an osprey flying with a fish in its talons, a gopher tortoise, a gang of 12 turkeys, and the usual array of herons and ibises. The course had just been aerated, but still allowed an appreciation for the undulation and speed of the greens.

Slow
They should have a course ranger to keep groups moving around the course I watched a 4 some take several tee shots when we were already backed up
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
Great Round
This is a great course to play. Not much water, greens we’re running true, t-boxes and fairways were in very good condition. Played here many times, using a little course management helped this time. Back nine, late morning or early afternoon can be a little windy. A fun course to play and staff have always been friendly. We’ll be back.

Aerated greens were not friendly to us.
I’m glad they are trying to get the greens to be more consistent, but they have been bad since the spring.
Pace of play slooow! but this was the first nice day to play in a week.
If the superintendent ever figures out the greens, Venetian could give LPGA courses a run for the money.
Shout out to Dick, Bruce, and Taylor who make our day brighter with their superior service.

Best Course in New Smyrna Beach Area
My wife, our friend & myself played yesterday and the course had plush fairways and the greens were perfect.Many of the holes were very pictursque and the par 3 were very challenging.
All the employees were very helpful and facilities were
awesome.
We would recommend the Venetian Golf Club to any golfer wanting to play a fantastic layout.

Good Round
Course was in pretty good shape. A couple of areas where other golfers did not take in consideration for wet land…tire tracks. Greens were fast, front 9, back greens became a little slow. Fairways were in good shape as well as most of the greens. The only negative, the threesome in front of us were a little slow on a couple of holes and more homes being built. Overall a very good day to get out, we’ll be back.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate your business. The Club at Venetian Bay thanks you!
Love seeing improvements
Glad to see the effort being made to improve your greens. Pace of play a little slow on front nine, but much improved back nine. Course was a little wet but still in amazing shape.
If your in the area, put Venetian Bay on your courses to play. Best course for the money.

slow play
We were a twosome - but there were 2 5 somes in front of us. Pretty slow play. They may have been members - but anything more than a 4 some should never be permitted, unless the course is empty. The course was in great shape and considering the rain recently, was relatively dry.
