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.

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.

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.

Lake Travis Golf Gem

I played this short, but deceptively challenging Hill Country course for the first time today. It is scenic and generally well-maintained. (The fairway on hole #4 could use some weeding and work, but it was the exception, not the rule.) The grass on the greens was excellent, which was appreciated because the greens themselves are quite undulating. There are no sand traps on the course at all--which I'm sure helps keeps costs down, but didn't detract from the experience, because the rolling landscape, sometimes tight fairways and smallish greens are challenge enough. What this course concedes in distance, it requires in accuracy--you can hit a two-hybrid instead of a driver, but you still have to hit it straight. A good value for your golf dollar. Like the surrounding Point Venture community, this little gem is unpretentious, fun and recommended.

This is a nice course. The greens are in good shape. My 12 year old son and I played and we didn't lose any balls! Had a great time.

One of my faves

I discovered PVGC about a year and a half ago and it has been my go to place to play ever since. Well maintained, fun, scenic layout. Lightning fast greens almost all the time. Excellent value. A 9 hole gem on the north side of Lake Travis.

The course was in in good shape, lots of wind but fair. I did too much thinking and lost my focus but having to wait on the threesome in front of us broke me.
