Waterford Golf Club is definitely a favorite of regular golfers with varying abilities.
Known for receiving the best of Venice award in 2004 and listed in the Top 20 golf courses in the southwestern region of Florida, Waterford offers 27 holes of rippling greens and rolling fairways, with plenty of hazards and water in play throughout the course. Three 9- hole golf courses are available, the Turnberry, Gleneagles, or Sawgrass courses, for a combination of three different 18-hole games. This gives visitors the opportunity to come back throughout the week and try a totally new game at the same beautiful course.

The golf courses were not the only part of Waterford Golf Club to receive a Best in Venice for 2004. The pro shop also received an award for the Best place to buy golf equipment and supplies, so hit up the pro shop for all of your golf needs before taking to the courses. Waterford also offers a beautiful clubhouse restaurant open from 7:30-3 pm with a nice selection of food and beverages to keep you going during an invigorating game of golf.

One of the best features of Waterford is the option to play only 9-holes of golf at one of the courses for a reduced rate. This option is limited to after 3pm during the high season from January to April, but is always available throughout the rest of the year. Golf prices are very reasonable at $50 for 18 holes between January and April and $18-$25 for the rest of the year.

Open seven days a week from 7 am to 6 pm, the club is semi-private but allows visitors and guests with reservations made ahead of time. Tee times are taken no more than four days in advance for guests and can be made by calling 941-484-6621.

You can find the Waterford Golf Club right in the heart of Venice. Take Venice Ave. E away from Venice Beach and turn left onto Capri Isles Blvd. Pass through the area for Capri Isles Golf Club and you will come to Glen Eagle Drive immediately after the main intersection at Edmondson Road.

Take in the fresh Gulf breeze by strolling throughout Venice. Leave the car at your vacation rental and get out and walk around while taking in the view. With so much to see in Venice you don’t want to miss anything and Venice is the perfect town to walk around and take photographs. Or just enjoy the beautiful historic homes, rest in the plentiful parks, or stroll along the beach as the waves crash along the shore.

With the new 10-mile bike/walk path that lines the Intracoastal Waterway, you can virtually access all of the Venice Beach area on foot. Throw on your walking shoes and find the path from your rental, or find one of the many parking spots along the path, and you will not run out of sights to see anytime soon. Start off in downtown Venice, near Tampa and Miami Ave. and find historic homes nestled together with quaint local shops and cafes. Most of the buildings in this area were built in the 1920s and show the remarkable preserved history of Venice. For detailed pictures and information about the historic buildings and homes in Venice while strolling through the downtown area, visit the Archives and Triangle Inn Museum located at the Historic Triangle Inn at Blalock Park, 351 South Nassau Street, which runs parallel to South Tamiami Street, south of the downtown area of S. Venice Street and S. Miami Street. They can provide a wealth of information regarding the original construction and reconstruction of the buildings and homes in the historic areas to take along on your walking tour of Venice.

Don’t miss the Historic Train Depot, right in the heart of downtown, which was recently reconstructed to resemble its original glory from the 1920s. The Depot is located underneath the Venice Avenue Bridge and offers parking, so may be a good place to start your walking tour of Venice.

Venice also houses over 30 parks, recreation facilities and beaches, with almost all of them on the Venice Beach side and centrally located near the Intracoastal Waterway Park. So there are an abundance of places to get out and stretch your legs after a long car ride or flight to your vacation destination. Stroll along the beach at any number of Venice public beaches or venture into the uncultivated land at places like Casperson Beach Park. The Venice government website at http://www.venicegov.com/parks.htm gives a brief description of each parks and recreation site, with a map to help direct you to where you may want to go. If you don’t have access to the website on your vacation, visit the Centennial Park in downtown Venice between W. Venice and W. Tampa Avenues. Here you will find an information kiosk about Mainstreet Venice that will help guide you to local parks and the best places to begin your walking adventure in Venice.
