Golf In Venice

What Golf In Venice does

Golf In Venice is a privately held, multi-course golf operator based in Nokomis, Florida. The company owns and operates three golf facilities in the southwest Florida corridor between Sarasota and Venice: Calusa Lakes Golf Club (an 18-hole, par 72 championship course with wooded terrain at 1995 Calusa Lakes Blvd.), Capri Isles Golf Club (an 18-hole, par 72 course rebuilt in 2003 at 849 Capri Isles Blvd.), and Waterford Golf Club (a 27-hole, par 72 Ted McAnlis-designed facility at 1454 Gleneagles Drive with three 9-hole layouts — Turnberry, Gleneagles, Sawgrass — playable in various combinations). Together the three properties deliver 63 holes of golf. Golf In Venice is owned and professionally managed by Coral Hospitality and is open to both public golfers and members; it opened under that umbrella around the company's 1999 founding and reorganized its three-course portfolio under unified branding and a single multi-course membership.

The business model combines transactional public play, recurring membership dues, and ancillary services. Public green fees range from $45 to $99 per round depending on course, time of day, and season, with Summer Card discounted rates layered on top. The unified membership program grants access to all three courses for a single annual fee, with priority booking and exclusive member offers delivered via the ezlinksgolf.com portal; non-members book through teeitup.com. Ancillary revenue includes PGA professional lessons (instructors Brad Flach, Ed McConnell, Charlie Darbyshire, Mike Cummings, Adam Stoutjesdyk), on-site food and beverage at each clubhouse (The Grill and full bars at Calusa Lakes, Capri Isles, and Waterford), corporate and charity tournament hosting (Jessica Costanzo Annual Charity Golf Tournament, Knights of Columbus Venice Golf Outing, Cora's Giving Fund), and the Myakka Pines Junior Golf Program. Customer segments are public golfers (primary, transactional), members (recurring subscription), and corporate/charity event organizers (B2B event revenue).

Technology is entirely third-party-rather than proprietary. Tee time distribution runs through teeitup.com for non-members and ezlinksgolf.com for members; handicap management runs through GHIN; league scheduling runs through Spark Golf; restaurant menus are delivered through iMenuPro; and golfinvenice.com is hosted by 121 Marketing. Go-to-market combines digital self-serve booking, phone-based pro shop reservations, and direct sales for tournament packages handled by the Director of Membership and Marketing. Marketing channels include course-specific Facebook pages, dedicated YouTube channels, an E-Club email newsletter, and Venice Area Chamber of Commerce community involvement. The company reports 1-10 employees in firmographic data, reflecting corporate office count only; functional course operations are staffed separately across grounds, pro shop, food and beverage, and instruction.

Direct peers

• Heritage Golf Group: Heritage Golf Group owns and operates private, resort, and daily-fee golf clubs in the U.S. Like Golf In Venice, it bundles golf with dining, events, and instruction across multi-course portfolios.
• Troon Golf: Troon is the largest third-party golf course management company in the world, operating hundreds of public, private, and resort courses. Like Golf In Venice, Troon manages semi-private facilities offering public play alongside memberships, plus F&B and tournament services.
• KemperSports: KemperSports manages golf, club, and resort properties nationwide, including daily-fee and member facilities. Its service offering (operations, marketing, agronomy) overlaps closely with what Coral Hospitality provides to Golf In Venice.
• Concert Golf Partners: Concert Golf Partners acquires and operates private and semi-private golf clubs, often preserving the local brand. Its portfolio strategy of owning clubs across multiple U.S. regions parallels the multi-club ownership structure at Golf In Venice.
• American Golf Corporation: American Golf operates a large portfolio of public and private courses, lesson programs, and tournaments. Its multi-course, multi-revenue-stream operating model closely mirrors Golf In Venice's bundled green-fee, membership, and instruction approach.
• Arcis Golf: Arcis Golf owns and manages a portfolio of private, resort, and daily-fee clubs across the U.S. Its operating model — multi-course portfolio with bundled membership and event-driven revenue — is structurally analogous to Golf In Venice's three-course operation under Coral Hospitality.

Broad incumbents

• Coral Hospitality: Coral Hospitality is the parent owner and operator of Golf In Venice and runs a wider portfolio of clubs and hospitality venues. It is the strategic sponsor whose management capability is the core operating platform for Golf In Venice's three courses.
• Invited (formerly ClubCorp): Invited operates one of the largest networks of private golf and country clubs in the U.S. Although it skews more private than Golf In Venice's semi-public model, it competes for membership-driven golfers and tournament/event business in Florida.

Emerging players

• Topgolf Callaway Brands: Topgolf Callaway Brands combines entertainment-driven golf venues with equipment manufacturing. While Topgolf venues are not direct competitors for traditional 18-hole play, they are reshaping golf participation and represent the emerging format pulling rounds and dollars away from traditional facilities like Golf In Venice.

Regional players

• Bobby Jones Golf Complex (City of Sarasota): A large municipal multi-course golf facility in nearby Sarasota. It competes for the same public-golfer and snowbird demand as Golf In Venice across southwest Florida daily-fee play.
