About Lake Venice Golf Club

Lake Venice Golf Club opened in 1959 as the second golf course in Sarasota County and today plays as a semi-private 27-hole club set near the Gulf of Mexico. The layout runs through open, natural surroundings with no housing in view, and golfers may walk or ride in carts equipped with GPS compatibility and USB ports.

The club sponsored a sanctioned LPGA event in 1966-67, with a field that included Mickey Wright, Kathy Whitworth and Carol Mann. Growing demand led to nine additional holes in 1970, which were redesigned in 2013.

Practice facilities include a driving range along with several putting and chipping greens. A casual bar and restaurant looks out over the 18th hole. The club operates without tee times and hosts men's and ladies' leagues, group league play and local charity tournaments.
