About

Holes 9
Type Public
Par 36
Length 3126 yards
Slope 124
Rating 35.1

Built along Lake Travis in 1971, Point Venture was the first course in Leander, but has been overshadowed since the opening of Crystal Falls. The course has 9 holes that meander through a residential development and is loaded with dogleg holes and mature trees.

Jimmy Demaret designed the course, and his layout features two nasty par 5s. The best hole on the course is No. 7–a scenic hole that starts from an elevated tee box and plays downhill to a green surrounded by a lake.

Getting there : From I-35, exit FM 1431 and drive west approximately 25 miles to Lago Vista. Turn left on Lohman Ford Rd. and drive 8 miles to the Point Venture guard gate.

Great conditions

Course was in great condition, pace of play was slow on the front nine but we were able to pass a larger group at the bend and breeze through the back 9. Again course and greens were in great condition. There aren’t any bunkers or water hazards to deal with so it’s ideal for a casual, laid back 18. Playing each hole twice was more fun than I expected.

The course is fine although I canceled my golf now app while at the course after finding out you only charged nine dollars the rest was due at the course when I tried to cancel reservation would not allow me to do so so therefore I am no longer using the golf now app doesn’t seem like you do much for the golfers at all other than take $100

Nice course for a new player

First time on this course. Well maintained. Staff was helpful and friendly. I was with my wife who is a very new golfer. This course was nice with no real challenges (water or bunker). Would be nice if they had sandwiches in the club, but no. Just bring something along with you.

Nice 9 Hole Course

Nice 9 hole course. Fairways, greens, and tee boxes were all well kept and green (even with the extended hot weather this summer, kudos to the ground crew!). Pro shop and grill/bar staff were very accommodating. Will definitely play there again.

Scenic with Good Variety

Nice variety of long, medium and short holes with no bunkers or water hazards. Beautiful setting with deers frolicking around, nice backyards and an occasional lake view. Would repeat.
