Venetian Golf Club

Always enjoy this course, greens are what make it a challenge, course conditions not as good as years past. I understand the course is being sold , so they are going through a transition period

Not much grass on tee boxes and patches of weeds on the greens. Pace of play was slow. Staff was very friendly.

Lots of dead spots and sand filled areas on the greens. Very difficult to put across them.

A great layout that was one of the best in SW Florida. Now reduced to a dog patch. No grass on the tee boxes. Scarce grass on the fairway. The worst is the greens. They have tons of goose grass spots. Their remedy was to dig them up by hand and leave 4" diameter divots on the green that they half fill with sand mix. Almost impossible to putt with out one of these drastically affecting your path.
I had a hot deal at $70.00. SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Sad.

Fun course, challenging greens. No food or beverage service due to staffing shortages.

I’ve played this course many times over the years it has been a couple years since last playing here and remembered it as a nice well maintained club. It was not today. The superintendent should be fired. The greens are infested with st Augustine crab grass, everything was rock hard like they haven’t watered or aerated in ages. Fairways need to be aerated to keep from becoming concrete.

On top of it they had no staff for a beverage cart or to have theiir bar or grille room open. So no drinks or food available. Labor shortage or not every other club has a found a way to keep these services open. They did have a Ranger, although not necessary when the course had little pay. Understandable for the rates. Maybe give the ranger the beverage cart. It would be more died than being told to park all 4 tires of the cart on the path while putting. Cart traffic and parking is hardly the issue here…

Needless to say it will be some time before returning. Sad to see a fun course go downhill so poorly and during a time golf as a sport is at an all time high.

The course doesn’t have a lot of grass. Greens were good speed though it looked like they were recovering from issues earlier in year. The range had the same issue with little grass, nice chipping practice area

Terrible pace terrible conditions, overpriced. Never again will I play here.

I really don't know what is going on but for what you charge people the greens shouldn't have holes in them. Trying to disguise it makes it even worse. Much better courses in the area for better price.

Tee boxes ok, fairways hard but have grass, greens fast and not too bumpy, get it on a hot deal and it's a fun play

Was told by friends this course wouldn’t disappoint and they were correct. Played with another couple ( husband played it once before so knew the layout) and the scenery, layout and conditions were great. Will return at a later date. Maybe play both courses.

Staff did not tell us that there would be no beer or food service at all. They didn’t even sell anything in the pro shop. How do they not notify people who plan to play at their course that there will be no food or drinks?

slow greens with plenty of weeds, fairways then, tees thinner, course needs a lot of work to get it back to where it was last year
