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.

BAD course conditions
Greens had been blatantly not cut, putts didn't roll out whatsoever until the greens dried out by the 6th/7th hole
Rough hasn't been cut in so long that you lose balls just off the fairway.
Grass on the tee boxes was driver tee length
Ranger/maintenance crew drive in our backswings on 3 consecutive holes
They were cutting the 11th fairway while we were playing it
Overall just not even close to worth the price
Green are much better.
Greens are much better than a year ago.
Now if it would stop raining. Every bunker had water in it. Love the layout can spray it everywhere. Can’t wait to play again. Play the tips.
Especially nice course for mid handicappers.
A great forgiving layout for mid handicappers. They only made me play cart-path only on two holes despite recent afternoon thunderstorms. Fairways hit well even though they were a little soggy in places. Greens rolled really well - fooled me being a little faster than I expected. All the staff there are extremely friendly and I really enjoyed my day. Will play again next trip to New Smyrna.
Great day of golf
Everything was good, everything. Price thru golfnow, perfect weather, not many other golfers in the heat of the day. Course was in great shape. Could not have been any better
Venetian Bay
Excellent layout, course Conditions were outstanding!!
Will return.
Venitian Bay
The greens are recovering from recently being punched. Overall pretty good.
Great day of golf
It was a good experience and great afternoon of golf. Staff was very friendly and engaging. Course was in good condition. Have not been there in a while because of price, but plans are to play there more, as I used to.
Joe, in the clubhouse, was very pleasant and friendly. Made us feel welcome, so thank you Joe.
Great place
Beautiful course. Nice and wide open. Loved playing here and can’t wait to come back.
Great course
Pace of play was perfect. As a foursome we were done on 3hr-20min. We'll be back
Good value for the money
Course was in good condition despite all of the rain lately. Only two small problems, some bunkers had standing water and you get locals that play the course every single day that fly through it and feels a little rushed at times.
Great Course Layout
Excellent practice area, course layout and course maintenance. Only negative is they took too many trees out that could have provided shade in the hot Florida sun.
Outstanding
A true value to the cost, of course, was in great shape, a few minor hiccups. But nothing can be perfect.I definitely would recommend this course
Sandy Greens
Overall, the course was in good condition. However, I was not aware that they had punched and heavily sanded the greens. That kind of took away from the overall condition of the course. It may be good in a couple of weeks or so. Also, the course is hot. There is no place to park to get out of the sun. Management should consider putting in some shade trees near the tee boxes and greens to get some shade there.
Outstanding course.
The course was beautiful and challenging. The staff was top notch as well. Wonderful experience.
Nice course!
Course is in good shape for this time of year. Greens were fairly fast.
Well worth the money!
While down here on vacation we played at Disney and decided we wanted to get another round in. Getting a HotDeal at Venetian Bay was better than I could have asked for. Great from tee box to green and all around. Jim in the Caddy Shack was especially friendly and helpful. Great staff, great course, I will be back that’s for sure.
