Venetian Golf and River Club Homes for Sale, North Venice FL

About Venetian Golf and River Club

Venetian Golf and River Club is a gated community in North Venice, east of US 41 and north of Laurel Road, in the 34275 ZIP and Sarasota County. It was developed starting in the early 2000s, around the 2003 opening of its course, and the streets carry Italian names such as Pesaro Drive, Mestre Place and Treviso Court. Housing includes single-family homes, condos and attached homes, which gives buyers a range of sizes and maintenance levels inside one gate. The community has its own amenity center with a pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball, separate from the golf club. The private Venetian Golf Club sits at 105 Pesaro Drive and offers a customized private membership with golf, dining and social events. Because the community is in North Venice rather than Sarasota proper, it tends to feel quieter, with quick access to Venice beaches and the Legacy Trail. Confirm how golf membership works for owners and what the HOA covers before writing an offer.

The golf at Venetian Golf and River Club

The Venetian Golf Club course was designed by Chip Powell and opened in 2003. It is an 18-hole championship layout that runs through lakes and wetlands, and the design aims to ask for a variety of shots so players of different skill levels can enjoy it. The club is private and inside the gated community. Membership types listed by the club include full golf, single and annual options. Members get access to a large practice area, PGA professionals, organized men's and ladies' days, couples events and reciprocal play with other area clubs. The clubhouse has a full-service restaurant and bar with indoor and outdoor seating. The golf club itself does not run a pool, fitness center or tennis program; those are part of the separate community amenity center.

Living in Venetian Golf and River Club: location and lifestyle

North Venice puts residents close to Venice Avenue, the historic downtown and Venice beaches, which are about 15 minutes away and known for shark tooth hunting at Caspersen Beach. The Legacy Trail, a paved rail-trail running from Venice toward Sarasota, is close for biking and walking. I-75 is a few minutes east via Laurel Road, and Sarasota is about 25 to 30 minutes north. Shopping along US 41 and in Nokomis covers daily errands, and Venice's medical facilities are nearby. Oscar Scherer State Park is just north for trails and paddling. The location trades a longer drive to Tampa for a smaller-town pace and close beach access. The Myakka River and nearby county preserves add kayaking and birding options, and the North Venice location keeps errands short without the traffic of central Sarasota.
