Zagat 6th Edition America’s Top Golf Courses has listed Venetian Golf Club’s 18-hole par 72 masterpiece as “a must-play in the Venice/Sarasota area.” Venetian has also received a Four Star Rating for Golf Digest’s “Best Places to Play” 2008/2009 as well as placed fourth in Golf Advisor’s Top 25 Golf Courses to play in Florida in 2014. Treat yourself to Sarasota County’s most dynamic golfing experience complete with panoramic scenery to captivate every player. Venetian is the only golf course in the area designed by renowned golf course architect Chip Powell. The design pays homage to the early masters of golf architecture, like Ross and MacKenzie, by presenting players with an abundance of strategic options that test both the mental and physical elements of the wonderful game of golf. One of the unique design features of our Venetian golf course is its’ inclement weather tolerance. This is due to superior subsurface drainage that traps and filters rain water, then transfers it to one of our many lakes. In addition, our soil profile promotes just enough runoff that surface water quickly dissipates. So when other courses in Southwest Florida are closed or “cart path only” when summer rains fall, Venetian is open for your enjoyment. Venetian’s 18-hole, par 72 masterpiece features generous fairways framed with natural looking berms, strategically located bunkers and an abundance of grass hollow hazards that are configured in a manner to make forced carries optional. The course features eight sets of tee markers ranging from 5,000 to almost 7,000 yards accentuated by pristine TifEagle greens. Click here to view Scorecard
