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.

Drive a Little Farther
Point Venture is in far better shape than Lago Vista. It is only 9 holes, but it is a blast. The people are friendly and the pace of play can’t be beat. The carts have the super comfy plush seats and USB chargers. The drinks are reasonable. I play all around the Austin area, and this was more fun than most. We tee’d off as a twosome and maybe had a wait on one hole for a couple minutes all day. We were playing fast! We planned to play 18, but got in 24 in the time we’d told our wives it would take.
Don’t count on the food truck. We wanted pizza, but the truck was never open in the 4 times we tried...on a Saturday.
Actually, stay away. I want to keep this pace of play. I’m heading back.
Rough spring
Fairways and tee boxes were pretty tight/bare, but what could reasonably be expected 5 weeks after an unprecedented blizzard? Grass is still struggling to recover and grow throughout central Texas. Who knows how long it will continue to affect our golf courses?
Otherwise pleasant experience here, as always.
Beautiful day!
First 9 was slow going....2 small kids (6 & 10ish) with their father & another adult just learning to play & only 1 set of clubs between them really slowed things up in front of us. They dropped out after 9 which really sped things up. They were very nice but could have picked a less busy day to teach their kids. The course is starting to green up after the snow and ice. Management did a nice job of cleaning up tree debris after the storms. Everyone in clubhouse always sooo nice. It’s a great little course.
Consistently good
This is the best golf value in the greater Austin area, period
Point Venture
It’s always fun to play this little course. The staff is always sooo nice & helpful. The greens are fast, the fairway a bit bare this time of year, & pace of play is pretty good. It’s a good value for the money.
Great place to play!
Always have a blast here. Never crowded and always taken care of! Great facility and people!
Great day of golf
The weather was perfect and the course is in great shape. The staff is awesome and so friendly.
Glad you enjoyed your day, we look forward to seeing you again soon!
This course was okay for the price
Greens and fairways need to be grown out some more. A couple of the greens need replaced . Wildlife was abundant around the course,
Best value in Austin
This course is a gem considering the price. Only nine holes but I still try to play 27 every time I’m here. Greens are in great condition and are FAST. The staff is always super friendly. Bonus points for the no frills 19th hole
Enjoyed Point Venture immensely!
Fun 9 hole course with outstanding views! The greens are in very good condition and roll true.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your day. Hope to see you gain soon!
