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.

This is always fun, the people are fun and easy to talk to.
I had a blast, didn't know I would play that well with my irons, course was nice and green. The people that run the show are always helpful. Great time, I'll be be back.
Price was fair
Overall good conditions considering lack of water in Texas. 1st hole green and slope in front a little unfair if not holding US Open there!
Almost impossible to keep a put from rolling off green and 30 feet back into fairway. Actually had an uphill putt stop near pin and roll back about 35-40 feet. Our twosome decided to play ball from where it stopped originally and take 3 putt as worst result.
Followed 4 of the slowest golfers, one hitting 50 yd drives. You would have thought they were playing in a money tournament. We were pushed from behind and held up by these guys. Not a lot of fun.
Great for beginners
I play with my wife on weekdays. Retirement lets you do that... This course is 3 miles from home, but on the other side of the river, so it takes an hour to get there. Worth the drive. Fairways and greens are in great shape, even with our extreme heat this summer. Other players are kind with slower beginners. All in all, a great place to golf.
Enjoyed the course
This was a fun course. I enjoyed playing on it and plan on visiting again. The course was a very good shape. Deer were everywhere which was very nice.
Both Justin Orbán and Shirley are amazing you will not be disappointed!

Fun course
Another fun day at PV. They keep the course in great shape, and it is a pleasure to play.
Great conditions
Course was in great condition, pace of play was slow on the front nine but we were able to pass a larger group at the bend and breeze through the back 9. Again course and greens were in great condition. There aren’t any bunkers or water hazards to deal with so it’s ideal for a casual, laid back 18. Playing each hole twice was more fun than I expected.
