WCI Communities’ Venetian Golf & River Club: Venetian, currently a semi-private course with public play allowed, will become a private course with members-only play beginning Jan. 1.
“Offering private play better aligns with our caliber of course,” said Venetian Golf & Country Club General Manager Joseph Iafe. “Our dynamic golf experience rivals the best in the Sarasota-Manatee area.”
Venetian Golf & River Club also will offer two new membership categories: Social Dining and Summer Golf.
Venetian’s course features fairways that are framed by natural-looking berms, strategically located bunkers and an abundance of grass hallow hazards configured in a manner to make forced carries optional. The course presents eight sets of tee marker options ranging from 4,400 to almost 7,000 yards, accentuated by TifEagle greens.

The previous home on the 15,000-square-foot lot was torn down and well be replaced by a contemporary-coastal design. The new 4,800-square-foot, three-story home will have four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a four-car garage with 2,000 square feet and a detached guest house.
DSDG Architects designed the house.
