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.

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.
Wonderful 9 hole course
The course was in really good shape considering the drought. Loved the layout rolling through the hills. Will definitely be back!
The course is fine although I canceled my golf now app while at the course after finding out you only charged nine dollars the rest was due at the course when I tried to cancel reservation would not allow me to do so so therefore I am no longer using the golf now app doesn’t seem like you do much for the golfers at all other than take $100
Great 9 hole course
The course was in great shape especially considering the drought. Will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.
Nice course for a new player
First time on this course. Well maintained. Staff was helpful and friendly. I was with my wife who is a very new golfer. This course was nice with no real challenges (water or bunker). Would be nice if they had sandwiches in the club, but no. Just bring something along with you.
