very wet and rainy day for golf!

for a nasty day were mother nature was not cooperating. Was surprised how well the course had drained. No sitting water and course actually played well for two days of rain. Greens were in great condition. Looked good. Putting true and we’re very fast. Quite a surprise for the weather I was playing in. I have played this course before, but it was never in this good of shape! thumbs up to the crew!

Something Positive

I have played here while on vacations for probably 15 years. Always been a nice course, but the employees seem different. They were uniformly pleasant. The course was in great shape. It's fun to play, not too difficult (although some of the holes, particularly on the back, can be round wreckers). Played early in the morning, off-season, so pace of play was good. Altogether, a fun day.

Great course, good layout, fun to play.

This course is in good shape, greens are firm and fast, rolling true. Fairways and t-boxes are good, some spots burned out but overall in good shape. Due to a tournament the pins were challenging, however it made for a fun round. Will be back to play this again.

Really Slow

They had a women's tournament Today that really pushed things back. I wouldn't have purchased on this day if I had known. The course should list this on there specials.

Challenging Course

A great course that is steadily improving with good maintenance practices. The course can be challenging, a few greens need some extra care but overall is a great course with great staff..

Putting Greens need serious love

This was my first time playing at The Venetian and I have always wanted to play here since I was a little kid. The layout was great and the staff are extremely friendly. The condition if the putting greens is what really let me down however. It was like putting off outside carpet in my patio. Absolutely terrible. You cannot judge or read the green speeds at all. The greens may be infected with some sorr of fungus od could be from too much sun but victoria hills or even the deltona club have better greens than this for the same price.

Course Maintenance Deteriorating

Greens have many bad spots around edges covered with greensand. Sand traps need more sand and drainage as they have standing water. Fairways have very thin spots. Coures was aerated a few months ago but it has not thickened the grass coverage for the winter.
