Point Venture Golf Club
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.

Beautifully cared for course
I loved it. We saw prob 30 or more deer on the edges of the course that added to the beauty.
This course is always kept in top condition by Justin Orbin and his staff! For anyone who really wants to learn their clubs or have a really fun, but challenging round this is the course for you!
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Dry & Dead, but not bad for your buck
Overall the photos of this course on the GolfNow app just made me have higher expectations. The grass was basically dead everywhere. It was still solid to hit out of the fairway, but the teeboxes were basically all weeds.
I would not recommend this course unless you can get it for cheap with a HotNow deal. I got it for $22 so it wasn’t terrible. Cheap little 9 hole courses are always okay.
(For being a 9 hole, I did really enjoy the course layout, not many 9 hole courses have that much length)
Course is in great shape - come back and try it next month!
A lot has changed in three years
I haven’t played this course in a long time. I was very pleasantly surprised at the superb conditions of the greens. Looking forward to another round soon.
Glad you enjoyed the course - see you again soon!

Great place to play golf and take in the scenery!
Course was in great shape. Staff was very friendly and they have just remodeled the place. I wished I lived closer so I could play there more often.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Hidden gem
This is a hidden gem in the high country. The course was in great condition. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Tight and challenging
Best golf course in the area. Only 9 holes but I play different tees front and back to make it more challenging. Narrow tree-lined fairways with OB on every hole make up for not having any hazards. If you have a hard time controlling your driver, leave it in the car.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Easy course?
The Point Venture Golfcourse looks easy to play, but you may be mistaken. It is a wonderful course with beautiful views and surprising holes, more difficult then what one might expect.
The staff is very friendly. The facility is being redone and maybe a great facility someday. It sure looks promising!
Hope to be able to play here for many years to come.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Literally a Goat Farm
Decided to take advantage of a Hot Deal and got a Hot Mess instead
Nice greens.
Course has a challenging but fair layout. Greens are great.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
sweet 9 hole out at the lake
All tee boxes were fluffy and easy to put a tee in. All greens were in very very good condition wth no sand or balld spots. Easily the best greens I have played on in a while. The only issue is some parts of the fairway were just no watered and so if you land your ball there you hitting off dirt and and or very little grass. Some of the fairways were narrow so if you slice or hook you will get in trouble really quick. Overall really really nice place and the highlight was the greens.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
