POINT VENTURE GOLF CLUB
🇺🇸 Point Venture, TX, USA
Designed by Jimmy Demaret
Point Venture Golf Club occupies a scenic stretch of land along the northern shore of Lake Travis in the Texas Hill Country, approximately thirty miles northwest of Austin. The course was designed by Jimmy Demaret, the three-time Masters champion who transitioned to course architecture after his playing career and became known for creating accessible, enjoyable layouts throughout Texas and the southern United States. Demaret's work here reflects his characteristic approach: strategic variety without excessive punishment, and routing that takes advantage of natural terrain.
The property features rolling elevation changes typical of the Hill Country, with several holes offering views across Lake Travis and the surrounding limestone hills. The layout incorporates the area's native vegetation—live oaks, cedar, and native grasses—and the design works with rather than against the land's natural contours. Water comes into play on select holes, both from lake proximity and internal features, while bunkers are positioned to reward accurate shot-making without creating undue difficulty for mid- to high-handicap players.
Point Venture serves a residential community and welcomes outside play, functioning as both a neighborhood amenity and a regional golf destination for those exploring the Lake Travis area. The course provides a straightforward Hill Country golf experience, combining Demaret's design sensibility with the natural beauty of one of Texas's most popular recreational lakes. The setting offers a quieter alternative to Austin's busier municipal and resort courses while maintaining convenient access to the city.
