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.

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.
