Fine Course - Worst Starter

There is always a stereotype that Marshalls/Starters are crotchety old men, but this course has the oldest and crotchetiest starter I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Not the best way to start your round

Great Value, gorgeous views

In the heart of the hill country and Lake Travis, lies this 9-hole gem. I have been a regular at Point Venture for the last 10 years, and the course has maintained it's consistency over the years. Yeah, there are a few greens currently that could use a little work, but overall, my experience is always a 5 star, for overall value, course layout, conditions for the cost and pace of play. Being a mediocre, weekend golfer, I appreciate the course options to play alone or pair it up and always have a great time, wonderful views, and peaceful atmosphere. Never change PTV!

Not worth the drive

Greens are in awful condition and the guy running the pro shop was less than friendly to say the least.

Great Staff and Atmosphere

Very tight layout with some elevation changes. Fairways were in impeccable shape. Greens aren’t the worst I’ve seen by a long shot but they’re not good either. Every hole had a different speed, some with lack of grass, and the base of the greens were different (no sand, you’ll see when you fix a ball mark). Pace of play was downright atrocious. Our round was in the six hour range. The ice house/bar area was really neat. The pro shop was one of the better ones I’ve seen, if not the best in central Texas. I don’t know if I’ll go back but it is worth at least one round if you haven’t played it.

Fairway in excellent shape the greens were kind of in poor shape. It was still a challenge for me and kept me wanting more.

Nice views

Plenty of deer to see. A fee up and down areas. Mostly clear & a couple of dog legs.
Greens were mostly sand but decent.

First Review

Great layout. Greens could be improved with more watering. A handle bell would be useful to let the next group know when you are out range. Hole #2 and # 9.

Worth the Drive & Time

This is the best little 9-holer in Texas, hands down and without competition. The clubhouse, food trucks, and store are better than some fancy clubs. The driving range has a beautiful backdrop. The fairways were actually green and well-maintained. The greens were 7/10; the ball rolled nicely, with some bumps. Most of the tee boxes were good; 1-2 were sandy. While it is a 9-hole course, I played 18 and enjoyed the flow. The Saturday morning I played, they were super busy, but I have never felt the players were pretentious. If I kept up with the pace of play, then I didn't feel rushed. What a jewel. Honestly, it was the first time I ever truly thought about becoming a member. (Note, consider the course rating...this isn't Augusta, but it is a fabulous course for practice and sharpening skills.)

Not worth the drive if you don’t already live out in this area. Guys that work there don’t care about much. I waited 50 minutes past my tee time for a cart, got skipped over by a party of 5 that had a tee time 15 minutes after me. I was playing solo. Greens were absolute garbage. Tee boxes were abysmal. A few nice holes. The range is right on top of the first hole and runs into hole 6 or 7. There were range balls ALL OVER the fairway of that hole. Pay the extra money and play somewhere else if you’re serious about the game. This place is a joke.
