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.

Fun to play
Only 9 holes but challenging and fun. Course was in great cindition and the staff was nice and friendly. Also had a food truck that was really good.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Point Venture
Nice, friendly 9 hole course. Easy place to get out as a twosome.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
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.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!

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!
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
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!
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
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.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!

good course
This is a great layout. It's pretty tight & fun. The only problem were that the greens & fairways were in not so good shape. That coupled with the fact that the greens crew watered the greens so much that the holes were completely full of water on about half the holes. Having said all that, it wasn't that bad based on the price paid.
PV
Great 9 hole track with good greens. Priced right.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Lovely and friendly
My wife and I just played this nice 9 holes course on our Kingsday!
Great condition and greens
Friendly staff and nice to some members who, like we in Holland , were busy discussing the new clubhouse design
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
6.5 out of 10 (because of the nice greens)
The greens are average to above average, (some spots are toast) but mainly soft and lush, pretty slow except for the downhill, down grain putts. The grass is weird, very green and sticky, not sure what type of grass it is. PV is inexpensive, and great if you want to play on Saturday and did not make a Tee time on Tuesday. The fairways do have some turfgrass on them in spots, but there is a lot of weed, fescue, St. Augustine, etc. I don't understand the solid 4 stars??? It is a definite 3 tho...I consider Lions Muny 3.5 (don't get me wrong, I LOVE muny, but face it, it needs some TLC and it gets 100k rounds played per year). Back to PV... Easy to hit fairways, fairly short course, decent greens, you could score well if you can keep your ball below the hole, if not lots of 3 put bogies...
Brought a friend out to play. He had never played the course. He was totally stoked at the course the views and the condition of the course. And so was I.
I have been playing the Lago Vista Golf Course and they have let it go badly . No grass on the Greens and the Course maintenance seems to be in disarray!
But the Point Venture Course is Pristine in comparison. Thanks for a great afternoon.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Cool little track
Got a great deal on GolfNow so I figured what the heck. Beautiful, remote hill country/lake layout. Fairly tight, greens were small and quick. Course was well maintained, staff was friendly and accommodating. Will absolutely play again.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
Good value. Nice views and plenty of wild life. Only negative is 9 holes but no problem at the turn.
Great Course
This is an awesome course, it's layed out nicely. If your trying to improve your game Point Venture is the place to go.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
