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.

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.

Great Greens

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.

Point Venture 4/19/ 2018

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.

Best 9-hole course around

This is really what the two nearby Lago Vista courses (one of which is now closed) could and should be.

Enjoy

Nice course to play. Very friendly lady at the checking. Some greens are really difficult to read and that’s the way they should be. Heard a lot of laughter on the patio, that is a good sign!

Point Venture

Point Venture is a modest, friendly, 9 hole course that is well worth the trip from Austin.

We like it.

Point Venture

Has to be one of if not the best 9 hole courses in the state. I play it every weekend. Very challenging. Narrow, tree lined fairways and no flat greens. Beautiful course with views of Lake Travis. Highly recommend it. Best course on this side of the lake!

Those greens are nice and roll smooth. Just hard to keep from three putting! There is slope everywhere.

Course best shape ever, nice greens

They have upped the quality of the course. Very nice greens, but tricky. You have to play the shot in the right place to score well. Really enjoyed it. Nine holes.
