the center of the green, as are 100, 150 and 200 yard markers plus 150 yard stakes on the fairways of all par fours and fives. Color coded flags on the
beautiful Tiff Eagle putting surfaces indicate the day's front, middle or back hole locations.
Players of all abilities will be able to enjoy a round here as there are 7 sets of tee boxes with distances and slopes measuring 6931 yards/129 slope, 6553
yards/124 slope, 6277 yards/121 slope, 6028 yards/118 slope -and for the ladies 5447 yards/120 slope, 5259/118 slope and 5023 yards with a slope of
115 for women hitting from the red tees. There are 61 sand bunkers situated greenside or near the landing zones along the well manicured fairways, and
water comes into play on 14 holes.
Several holes require carries over natural areas on this links inspired course. Native high grasses and pot bunkers line many fairways, which often lead to
raised, undulating green complexes. The putting surfaces are surrounded by mounds and swales which create some challenging recovery opportunities
from collection areas. Venetian is an Audubon International Sustainable Project Gold Signature Member.
