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.

Good and Getting Better
I have played this course multiple times since it’s opened. Clearly the staff now is working very hard to get the course back to its early days after it was built. Hopefully this path continues and I look forward to playing here again when we return in the Spring.

Another Great Round
Weather was perfect the course was in very good condition. Greens were true. We’ve out a fee times these past couple of months. Enjoy the course set up and Bruce, the starter is very friendly and provides all the info you need to get through the course. He als has a great sense of humor which is relaxing when starting out. Great day!

Average but not bad
I have played Venetian Bay a number of times. The course has several holes that are over-watered. It was playing better a couple weeks back when we had more rain. I can only guess that they are over-watering the course due to anticipated dryer weather. The greens have yet to recover from being plugged a number a weeks ago. If they were to roll them a bit, they would be much better. The bunkers and tee boxes were in good shape. Overall, I rated my experience as average mostly because of the current condition of the fairways and greens. Not that the greens were bad. Just in need of rolling. With a little TLC I think it could be back to a 4 star course. Maybe I'm a little critical. Considering the condition of courses in the area, I think it's a fair valuation. LPGA is in far better condition, Spruce creek is a little better. I wouldn't hesitate to play there again. I've just seen it in better shape.
Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back at The Club at Venetian Bay!

Hot deal and worth every penny
I played Venetian Bay golf course for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. For $20, well worth it. greens were a little firm, but rolled all right. few hops from ball marks and poorly repaired. fairways nice and green, cut and easy to pick off the ball for approach shots. The rough was actually easy to hit out of. likely tge layout, cool guys in the 4some. will be back. great pace of play. 3:35 min.

Crab grass and greens
They try to re-sod the greens now the greens are full of sand close all the sod has died they had punch them 3 weeks ago it's like putting on a road with speed bumps I don't think the green keeper knows what he's doing and nothing but crabgrass on the greens and around the fringes it's nothing but crabgrass and they want $50 the course is not worth $30 right now the worst greens in Central Florida

dusty's take
The course it's self was in good condition compared to a previous visit.
Very disappointed with all of the building around and on the course. It will not be the beautiful course it was any longer.

Won’t find better staff
Starting with the pro shop help and the starter. Both were very engaging, entertaining and friendly. A far cry from the the stuffed shirts I have been around before. Very very enjoyable.
The course was great! Wide open fairways and lots of challenging shots to be had. 2 detractors were the bunkers and greens. With all the recent rain the bunkers were hard and wet. The greens were still in repair from the aeration. Neither of which the maintenance staff can control. Mother Has her own time line.
The fairways were well groomed the fringe/rough was still very playable.
Great course and a great value! I’ll be back!!!!!

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.
