About
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.

Hidden Gem
Absolute hidden gem, FUN layout! Super fast greens
Staff makes you feel welcome and want to keep coming back
!!!DO NOT GO THERE!!!
Worst golf course I’ve played in my life.
All my statement below is true and I have video evidence!
1. They will follow you all the way just to rush you out!
2. Staff is rude. Paid for 18 holes but the staff there kept challenging us saying we only paid for 9. This dude probably didn’t finish pre-K so he couldn’t even read the numbers.
3. Green is in horrible shape.
I don’t usually write reviews but I have to warn you guys. Stay away from this course!
Great Coarse
Coarse is in good shape and the greens are excellent! Great round!
Glad you enjoyed your day. Hope to see you again soon!
Pretty Little 9 Hole Course
For 90% of the course, what you see is what you get. But when you get to number 9, STAY LEFT. If your drive lands up on the hill to the right, you may never get out! They have a nice clubhouse with lots of activities and the people in the pro shop were very nice.
9 holes = slow golf
The course is absolutely beautiful but since there are only 9 holes there’s twice the crowding. If you can get some separation from other groups this is one of the nicest courses around Austin.
Glad you enjoyed the course. Most of our rounds are under 4 hours for 18 holes. Hope to see you again soon!
Perfect weather on a perfect course
All tee boxes, fairways and greens were in excellent condition. I think they watered that night or morning so there were a couple of places around the green that were muddy and etc. Other than that the course is in excellent condition. FYI there are some very very tough greens to read. Not one cup was place in a flat area of the greens so you will be working hard not to 2 or 3 putt. This brought an extra wonderful and tough dimension to the round for me.
Glad you enjoyed your day, we hope to see you again soon!
Tight course with no water or bunkers. Good challenge, need to keep your shots in play to score well.
Always enjoy playing here. The course is in great shape. Nice clubhouse and friendly staff.
Glad you enjoyed your day, hope to see you again soon!

A little above average
It’s a 9 hole course so there’s that. They don’t offer food other than chips and cracker type snacks so pack a lunch if you’re doing 18. Also, if you’re a regular there the staff seems friendly. If you’re new don’t expect the red carpet
There’s really no surprises here - no water or sand hazards and it plays fairly straight. Greens need work and the fairways were decent.
Overall it’s not terrible. It’s a $35 with cart type course
???
Fun and challenging course. Great staff. Course has many swampy areas in fairways. Greenskeepers mowers cutting while you are playing adds to the challenge.
