Play this course now

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
Played this course today and it was in fantastic shape. From tee to green the ball rolled true and the course played tough but not impossible. The service is always excellent as well. I highly recommend you play this course now.

Champions Course - Great Shape!

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
This course was in fantastic shape and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The Champions course is not as difficult as the Legends course, however, it still provides for a fun and challenging layout. The greens rolled true and the pin placements were very difficult on Saturday June 12th, 2010. Place this course now as it is in great shape!

Fun Course

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
Course overall was in good shape. The greens were extremely slow. The greens had been punched and sanded atleast a week or two ago. They were coming back very nice and flush, but they were extremely slow from the overgrowth of the growback. A couple greens had some issues where someone had decided to try and ruin them in the middle of the night. Most of the tee boxes were in good shape, and flat as well. The fairways were in good shape as well, not great, but good. A few areas should have been marked as ground under repair from either poor drainage or heavy rains. The sand traps are not even sand, but hard dirt. Overall the course is fun and enjoyable to play. It offers differing degrees of difficulty and the option to try different types of shots. It entices you with short Part 4's to go for it on the driver, but narrow landing spots tell you otherwise.

Nice course, easy layout

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
Greens had been sanded recently. They were very very hard and very very fast, the ball didn't stick well at all. The tee boxes were in good shape, and actually probably the better feature of the course. The course was extremely wide open and forgiving with a nice layout, some rolling hills, and nice undulations.

Fun and in good shape

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
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.

Good Course

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful
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.

Not a pleasant experience

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
From the start this morning they ran out of range balls and had to go scoop them from the water. Needless to say I didn't get the opportunity to warm up. The one positive was the practice green, which was in good shape. The tee boxes on every hole were horrible. They all were kept right in the middle of divot city. One hole's tee box was actually a rounded hill, like a crown. The greens were ok for the most part. The greens were also very fast. The fairways were in descent shape with mixed grass types. There was only one spot on the course to refill or get water. A water fountain was out of order on the course, and we saw the cart girl twice. At the turn, the snack bar was shut down. The layout was challenging, so that was a positive.

Like Most Courses, this course is hurting

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
Beginning March 8th, the course will be aerified. During that time, they will close nine holes at a time. Right now, the course is really hurting for some warm weather. The greens are dry and really fast, but are rolling pretty true with minimal inhibitions. The Tee boxes were ok, but not great as was the fairway. There is really no distinction between the fairway and the rough as the grass is the same height. The only separation is the palm trees. The rate is a little high right now in my opinion, $28 with a cart for a 1:30 tee time on the weekend, for a city course that isn't in great shape. However, once the summer rates hit, that will drop. It is still a good course to practice on, and pretty wide open.

What a deal

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful
On Saturday Feb 13th we played this course. Rate was $48 and included all you can play, breakfast, hot dog and sodas at the turn, free lunch and range balls. This course was in good shape. Considering the fact that we got an inch or more of rain, the course was in solid shape with the usual exceptions of puddling like most courses. Definitely a great deal if you can get out soon.

Pros Great all you can play deal
