Point Venture Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Decent Course - Slow Pace - No Marshals
The course is decent and we like that you can play nine holes. However, after playing there about a dozen times, it's always slow and there's no marshal speeding things along. About half the time, there's also at least one organization or another asking for donations. We'll be taking a break from this course for a while before we play it again.
A Scenic Gem with Friendly Staff and Abundant Wildlife
I had a fantastic experience at this golf course. The abundance of wildlife added a unique charm to the game, making each hole feel like a serene escape. The staff were incredibly friendly, enhancing the overall welcoming atmosphere. The greens were well-maintained, offering a decent challenge without being overly difficult. The picturesque holes provided stunning views that made the round even more enjoyable.
Slow pace
They need a Marshall to move people along the course. Yes it is a nine hole course but there were several times we went three foursomes waiting to tee it off. Took too long to play 18.
This is a tough little golf course!!
It is in great shape, greens are in good shape and fairly fast. My friends and I play there to hone our skills. Fairways are tight with unforgiving oak trees that seem to get in my way frequently!
Good 9 hole course
Even though it's only a 9 hole course, I would rather play Point Venture than the neighboring Lago Vista course, Point Venture is in better shape, especially the greens.
Good spot!
2nd time playing this course and enjoy it still! Only thing I wish this course had was bunkers and water hazards but it's a great beginner/social course to play!
Nice Course!
This place is a hidden gem! Pro Shop bros were cool, staff was friendly and always smiling, and the Caddy Shack is dope! The course is nice but I will admitt, there are a few issues with some of the greens, not all holes, but a couple had some issues. Still was well worth the 40min drive to get away from the city and play a course without so many players like every course in ACL nowadays lol. Will be back to play again soon!
Okay course. Okay pace of play. Overall average experience.
Had a group of 6 in front of us which we waited on for every hole. Was willing to put that aside until we got asked to speed up by a marshall. I thought that was pretty wild. Course was in okay condition. Deer and deer poop everywhere and it is by a sewage treatment plant. So that definitely didn’t help. But it was also pretty cheap. Honestly for a little more money there are a ton of better options in the Austin area.
