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
Entitlement
I’ve golfed out there several times even during a tournament and let everyone play through while my grandson was learning the game and he’s had lessons w Justin. Now Sunday my son in law Chris, my grandson Ash, and I where set up to play, last minute change to add Another player a friend of family whom wants to move here, he asked if his young sons whom never played could tag along. Then on a quiet Sunday morning the entitled people struck. Kept complaining we had six golfers, Well PVGC employees were very very understanding that these younglings were out there, having fun learning the game. Well to help PVGC employees we started skipping holes, finished nine, halftime, mommas and grand momma, picked all the boys up, including Ashton whom was a payed player for another nine, however he so grown up and mature now he understood what was happening and went on with the mommas and younglings to explore the rest of point ventures amenities.We went out and finished Another nine.
Never been so pressured by entitled golfers before, thought golf was a relaxing game, especially when you have younglings who are interested in the game. Anyway we’ll definitely be back and kudos to all the PVGC employees that were understanding and really kept this old golfer from breaking entitled heads with his golf clubs :)
Great course
All in all this is a nice course. Currently the greens need some TLC due to perhaps a fungus. But the fairways are in good shape and the perfect place to teach my grandson to play
first 9 very slow
you play the 9 holes two times so if your tee time is around mid morning or early afternoon you have to share the furat holes with the turning groups
Perfect course for kids
Friendly staff and no waiting even on a Saturday. Tee boxes and fairways in good shape but greens really patchy. With no forced carries and no bunkers, it’s a great course to bring kids out to learn to play.
Not worth the drive
Greens are in terrible shape - tons of bare spots, and the fastest I've ever played on (in a bad way). Fairways are so-so but lots of drainage issues - swampy and stinky. No actual water hazards or bunkers. Only 9 holes. No hot food at the clubhouse. No beer cart. Won't be back.
Point Venture 2021
Great little 9 hole course. Greens could use some TLC Some of them hardly had any grass at all.
Great course
The was our first time playing here. The course was in very good conditions, as week as the carts and the off-course amenities. Couple of par 5 holes and a lot of par 4s. You also have Great Lake views in some of the holes and presence of several deers. I will definitively come play here again.
Course was in good shape but just aired the greens so that was disappointing
Sorry, but just don't.
I take no joy in being a hater, and I can have a good time on almost any golf course. But a "Hot Deal"? For $43 a person? No. Nine holes, first of all (which is my fault for not reading the fine print before booking). Conditions are far, far worse than any muni in Austin. The color green doesn't exist on a single green (black, brown, and yellow, yeah, plenty of those). The holes are all short, surrounded on either side by dumpy townhouses or apartments. Not a single bunker on the course. Zero water. Fairways are wildly patchy even in the dead center. It's close to the lake, so I thought we'd at least get some views, but you catch a glimpse of it exactly once. Balls fly through the "greens," as slick as bumpy concrete. We gave up after nine holes. After reading the other reviews here, I had to go back and double-check that we're talking about the same course. If you think this is a good golf course, you should try playing literally anywhere else. Your mind will be blown.
