About this course

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.

Getting there

Most visitors to Point Venture Golf Club arrive via Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS), roughly forty-five minutes southeast of the property. The drive northwest traces the edge of Lake Travis, winding through the Texas Hill Country as suburban sprawl gradually gives way to limestone outcroppings and live oak canopies. Private aviation guests often favor Austin Executive Airport or Lakeway Airpark, both offering discreet access to the lake communities west of the city. The final miles unfold along quiet residential roads before revealing the club's understated entrance, perched above one of the Highland Lakes' most serene stretches.
