Course condition

Course has a very nice layout but there's no grass in the fairways you're hitting just about off deadpan dirt hard as a rock greens are not in the best condition either and around the bunkers you have a lot of dirt areas there's no grass on the course it's horrible tee boxes are horrible and a piece of play was a 6-hour round this course is a $45 course not 70 won't play it again

Great layout, friendly staff.

Very friendly staff. Great lunch. Play really slowed down on the back nine. Staff came out to try to speed up. They had a scramble in front of us that was slowing everyone down. BUT still played in 4 hours 15 minutes.

Needs work

Greens have a lot of dead spots with fertilizer in them or sand you have a lot of dirt in the fairways no grass around the greens a lot of the areas without grass bunkers need a lot of work charge too much money this is a 40 to 45-hour course not a $70 course I drove 10 minutes away from here and found a real nice course called Cypress Head beautiful shape great condition so if you're looking for a better course try it I don't recommend this one

Closed early

Bought 18 hole round for 2:20 tee time but got booted off course at 5:25 because carts had to be back at clubhouse by 5:30. They should probably be selling 9 hole rounds later in the day if they are closing before dusk. Still a nice day for ⛳️ golf

Worth the drive

Great course and excellent price performer.
Little drive from Kissimmee area where we're staying, but well worth the trip. For current weather conditions, course in really good shape. Wide fairways and well laid-out holes made this a fun visit. Highly recommended!

Surprized by Conditions

The Club at Venetian Bay is a really nice course but this round was the roughest conditions I've seen it in. I it must be the cool and rainy weather lately, but the fairways and greens have been in better shape in the past. I doubt it's a problem with the greenskeepper and crew but I can't give it more than 3 stars right now, this time of year. Just a tough time of year. Great layout, nice facility and very nice staff. I'll
play it again for sure.

A good day

Pro shop and starter were very friendly and the patio , grounds etc are well maintained. Course is user friendly for all levels. Some runouts and sidewalks need repair. Greens look as if they weee not overseaded and so are at this point in the season quite dead in many places. They weee mos.tly 2 put Doreen’s. Did not run true at all. Overall it was still a good time

For this time of the year

Course layout is great. Greens are dormant and tough to putt. Fairways and approaches were fine. Would recommend this to others. It gets plenty of play.
