Point Venture is on the north shore of Lake Travis in western Travis County, Texas. Four of the nine holes at Point Venture Golf Club offer a view of the lake—a specific example of the connection between golf and the waterfront location.

Golf with a View of Lake Travis

Point Venture Golf Club was designed in 1972 by Jimmy Demaret, a three-time Masters champion. Four of the nine holes offer a view of Lake Travis, so this feature applies to only part of the course. The club’s The Garage is a full-service building for golf instruction and club fitting. This lets you distinguish between Demaret’s course design and the facilities for lessons and fitting.

Lakeside and Local Activities

Lakeside Park has a disc golf course and a boat ramp. These are two distinct options: disc golf as a recreational activity and the ramp as a facility for boats. Point Venture also has tennis and pickleball courts at 291 Venture Blvd S. If you are comparing these sports options, you can find specific details about each activity and the location of the tennis and pickleball courts.

Access and Use

Point Venture facilities are open for use and visits by owners and residents, as well as their invited guests. Access requirements may change. If you plan to use a facility during your stay, check in advance whether you qualify under this access rule.

The marina has a specific restriction: it is reserved for owners who rent slips from the Property Owners Association. The boat ramp and marina should therefore be considered separately. The ramp is part of Lakeside Park; use of a marina slip is restricted to owners who rent one.

Dining and Recreation

The Caddie Shack is a self-service, order-at-the-counter bar; there is no table service. You can play billiards, shuffleboard and darts there. Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult when playing these games. When planning, keep both the service style and the specific age requirement in mind.

Captain Pete’s Boathouse is a floating restaurant and bar near Point Venture on Lake Travis. Operations and hours may change. If you plan your visit in advance, check the current opening hours. This will help you fit this dining stop into your plans without confusing it with what the Caddie Shack offers.

Development by the Lake

Development of Point Venture by the lake began in early 1969 on a peninsula known as “the Point.” During the early development phase, it was home to the only lake ferry service in Texas. This ferry service is part of the area’s history. Jimmy Demaret’s golf club design followed in 1972, providing a later historical reference point. Together, these two dates place the early development on Lake Travis and the creation of the golf club in chronological context.
