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
Good course for the price.
Very good course, well kept and plays great.has great scenery all around.
Nice course
Nice course. Most golfers who can hit straight, probably an easy course. Duffers like myself were looking for balls in the woods way too often.
Good greens
The greens were in great shape. This is a fun course to play every time.
Fun Course
Had a lot of fun but pace was slow because the weather was great and many persons got out to play. Played with some really good guys. Course was much fun.
The Course
I always liked Point Venture. I learned how to play golf there 30 years ago
It's challenging yet not too difficult. People who lives close has a chance for an excellent membership, I wish I live closer
Great conditions at this little gem
Fun little track. Greens and fairways in great shape. Well worth the short drive for the money. Although if you run into a dude with shaggy long grey hair, pass him or you'll be there for a while.
A Little Gem!
This is a neat little course set in a very scenic part of the hill country. Great value!
Great value
A great little hidden gem. Nice views, greens in excellent condition. Can't beat it for the price.
Always a good value
I love playing this course because it really challenges my short game with the short cut rough and fast greens. They always have a great price for 18 holes.
Where I played my first round of golf
I played my first ever round of golf here 3 years ago, Todays round was only my second, It won't be 3 years before I return this time only 2 days. For the money this was a great value, Very nice 9 hole course & the greens were excellent. I'm struggling and need to play on a stress free course. No sand & no water , Its a little tight to give some challenge but its a great course for beginners & people like me who love the game but do not play well & need to just have fun & this is a place for that.

Great value for the money
This course is one of my favorites. The course is well maintained, very enjoyable and relaxing to get a round in.
Peaceful for golf.
Very quiet and good environment for golf.
Love the hill country feel and views are awesome. Greens in great shape.
Saturday Afternoon
The course can be crowded if the weather is nice. There are also families and seniors who can make for slow play.
Value and more
When you see the low price you assume the course won't be in good shape and the greens will be furry. However, that is not the case at Point Venture. The course was in really good condition and the greens were true and reasonably fast.
Great Nine Hole Course with various tee boxes
This little nine hole course is in very good shape and offers a number of challenges. The elevated greens and narrow fairways forces you to manage your game. You have to keep it straight or risk jail among the trees.
Great!
For a local 9 hole course, it was manicured like a resort course! It was a 52 mile trek to get there but the reviews were great- and I see why- I'm really glad I made the trip! And I'll be back. Love the course and the pro shop gentleman was very cordial.
Thanks for the opportunity.

This is a hidden gem.
Started play mid-day just as the morning players (mostly members, I think) were finishing, and we almost had the course to ourselves. It was in great condition, greens and fairways were immaculate. Too bad more people don't drive out to take advantage of this place.
Easy Course and great value for the money.
Great Value. It is an easier course that is very short but very fun to play. Great views of Lake Travis.
Mr.
Course if fairly tight so it will help you when you play unforgiving courses.I've played this course for 25-30 yrs and course and staff have improved GREATLY over last couple of yrs.Is without a doubt one of best 9 hole courses in Texas.
Glad you enjoyed it - see you again soon!
