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
Neighborhood GC Gem!
Right in my backyard. I had a great recommendation to golf the course. So glad I did! This is a great “gem of a golf course” right in my backyard. I will definitely return soon.
Love this course
Fun holes. Tight fairways, but not too hard. Great course. Greens in good shape. GREAT VALUE
Really really nice
All tee boxes, fairways and greens where green and in excellent condition. New club house/bar is complete and there are tons of places to sit inside and out. Overall got a great deal on 18 holes with the cart and course is in excellent condition right now. Only issue is the sewage plant between holes 1 and 2 does stink to high heaven.
Nice 9 Hole Course
Layout is good. Trees can be a challenge, but no sand traps or water to navigate. There was some muddy areas even though it was 99 degrees. They must water in some low spots. Pace was slowed when we as a twosome caught a fivesome on the first 9 and then a foursome on the second time around.
Excellent shape especially for this time of year. Great value
Glad you enjoyed your round, look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fun 9 hole course
Great staff, super friendly and helpful. Fun 9 hole course!
Point venture
Sweet nine hole course with beautiful views, hills, and myriad trees. One caution: you must be patient. Many singletons and doubles slow play to a crawl at many points on the course. Why folks don’t graciously invite a couple to join them to make a foursome is beyond me! This would certainly improve the playing experience.
Great for seniors
While the day was chilly the round was enjoyable. The first and second holes require some climbing which got the blood flowing and we were more comfortable from then on. The course was in good shape and is perfect for seniors walking.
Fun Course!
This is a fun Course! No sand traps. No water hazards (well, you have to work hard to hit the one water hazard).
This course is fantastic for beginners and intermediate players.
Where else can you play 18 holes with a cart for $20?!?
Great place to play. Green green grass from Lake Travis water. Great place to teach your kids how to play.
I love this course! You will too.
Good course, not the best shape but still nice
Let's start by saying the layout and the views were great. The holes were generally well designed, although a few were a bit tight off the tee (only a problem if you are spraying it around) and the greens were smaller with a lot of contour. The deer were awesome, as many have said with this course, and the value is good too. Maybe there were places that weren't very well maintained, totally get it, and maybe there were some really slow and larger groups out there (many seemed to be locals). Overall, though, I had a good time and might be back.
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!
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.
Very svenic
Very professional and friendly staff, course well manicured, good smooth greens, and nice layout.
Great shape for 9 holes. Greens where in great shape and fairways had grass.
Golf shop was friendly and had Junior tees for my grandson.
Look forward to seeing you next time!
