About

Holes 9
Type Public
Par 36
Length 3126 yards
Slope 124
Rating 35.1

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.

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.

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)

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.
