Course Highlights
Point Venture delivers outstanding value with well-maintained fairways, challenging greens, and a relaxed small-club atmosphere that keeps golfers returning. The grass driving range, on-site golf simulator, scenic views, and friendly wildlife add genuine character to this enjoyable layout.

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.

Been awhile

It was years ago since I had played at Pt Venture, it has changed a lot. The houses throughout the course along with the vast improvements into the clubhouse. I was pleasantly pleased with what the management has since done to this course.

Course is fun to play

Course was convenient to where we were staying on vacation. Old course with fairways and greens in average condition. I was able to play a quick, comfortable round. Staff was friendly as well. Enjoyed the round. Will likely play there it again before returning home.

Great Wildlife - Above average course

This was a great 9 hole course to take newer/girlfriend golfers. Tons of wildlife while golfing. If you bring some apples, deer will come right up to you and eat out of hand (not sure if this is permitted by course). A couple of photo op holes. Greens and fairways were in good condition. Just a little fast/hard greens. Sometimes difficult to read. Overall, we drove 1hr to golf and would do it again.

Good value and well maintained

Good nine hole course decent fairways OK tea boxes nice greens not much challenge for the player but I’m not a great player anyway so I enjoyed ability to play without a bunch of headaches.

I definitely play here again it’s a little bit out-of-the-way for me but it’s worth it if you just only have time for nine holes and you want to get around in on a weekend day

We do not charge a booking fee. That is the GolfNow booking engine. They charge a transaction fee for booking online, that is how they make their money.

Nice 9 hole course

This is a nice 9 hole course. Even playing the course twice is fun. It’s not the longest course but nice. The staff is very nice and the club house has lots to offer. The have food trucks, pool tables, outdoor patio, live music and much more.

Pace is slow

Pace was very slow. Short course and took over 5.5 hrs waiting around nearly every shot. Marshal did come by 3-4 times during the round but nothing was done to increase pace. Over booked, no food available at the turn and the prices for a simple snack were very high even for a golf course.
