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.

Golfer Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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.
Swamp
This fun golf course is being overwatered. Some areas are just mushy.
Course is in great shape.
This is a fun and challenging 9 hole course. No water, no sand, and no pushover. This course demands ball control and course management.
Allowed a 5some to play and not tee off on time because they were locals. This caused a huge backup
Me and my daughter went to play on a Sunday. They let a fivesome group play which backed everyone up and caused me to tee off 30 minutes late. The fivesome group never offered to allow me and my daughter to play through until the Marshall came by but then only offered to allow us to play through on the next part three. Me and my daughter just skip that whole to bypass them. Further on the course It was backed up again. At this point, the clubhouse allowing a fivesome to play because they were locals irritated me, so me and my daughter just left. I will likely not play this course again.

Glad you enjoyed the course. Most of our rounds are under 4 hours for 18 holes. Hope to see you again soon!
