Fun and in good shape

The course didn't have any rough. The difference between the rough and the fairway was that the grass wasn't green. The fairway was in excellent condition though as was most of the greens and tee boxes. The entire staff at the facility is extremely friendly.

Fun and easy

Played a tournament round at Venetian Bay today. This course was a lot of fun to play. Because this course offers nice and somewhat easy layout, being aggressive, especially on the par 5s, is very realistic! The greens for the most part were in nice shape, but could have rolled a little faster. A few greens had some troubled spots, but overall, I was very pleased with them. The fairways were very green, but could have been a lot more full. If you were off of the fairway, the rough and arena out from that were very hard, so if you pulled a shot, it was likely to bounce hard in the rough area and run out. This is a private course, but they do offer chances to play for the public. I highly recommend it. On another note, the clubhouse is very nice for a beverage and bite to eat after a round.

Good Course

Understand that actually Venetian bay is considered “private” however, you can play it as a “member for the day”. I played Venetian Bay 4/18. The course was in decent shape, not outstanding but not poor either. There is absolutely no rough, the only difference between the fairways and the “rough” is the fairways are greener. The greens are a bit slow, one person in my foursome described them as “average” speed. For those that have not played Venetian bay, the course is not all that difficult (see comment about the rough above). The par 5’s are short, the longest is 487 yards (from the white tees). Hole # 8’s green was torn up by vandalism (4x4 doing donuts on it) so they have set up a temporary green about 40 yards or so in front of the normal green. Given the hole was 324 from the white tees, it makes the hole very short and could be drivable for some. The green is obviously fairway, so putting is difficult and the green is extremely small. The course is trying to bring it back, doesn’t look all that bad actually but not sure how long it will take them to get it up to standards.

Course Ratings

Pros
The course is picturesque, not really any trouble out there unless you hit a real bad shot. Nice clubhouse, great service.
Cons
None really any cons unless you think all courses should have some sort of rough, which I do. There is no penalty for wayward shots off the fairway.
