Located in the town of Kingsland on the shores of Lake LBJ, Lighthouse Country Club features 18 holes set in a charming, hill country in the heart of the Highland Lakes. The course was originally built in 1968, winds through scenic Hill Country property full of oak trees and red granite rock outcroppings. From many points, Packsaddle Mountain, one of the Hill Country's highest points, is in view from many spots on the course.

Lighthouse was formerly named Packsaddle Golf Club until the name changed in the fall of 2011 when new owners Rick & Mercy Howe purchased the bankrupt property and revitalized the golf course. Part of the enhancement was the construction of a brand new lighthouse at the clubhouse. In addition on on-course enhancements, Lighthouse constructed a handful of two-bedroom condos for stay-and-play packages and longer term winter homes.

In addition to the golf course, the facility also features a driving range, short game area and a full restaurant, bar and banquet facility.

Great layout

First time here. Visiting family and decided to play a round. Loved the layout although front nine holes are difficult to read placement of drives. Need a range finder. Back nine more open. Picturesque holes, especially the par three’s. Want to play again now that I know the layout.

Beautiful but Challenging

The Lighthouse Golf Club is a must-play course in the Kingsland, TX area. It is a beautiful setting with many challenges, primarily the surface Granite in a couple of the fairways, hit that and your ball will get sky bound.

Great Little Course

Had not played this course in about 3 years, it was after a winter storm and they had lost their greens. Now the greens are great, as is the total layout of the course. Gets alot of play, so the pace is a little slow but tolerable. The range is good, but could use mats as a backup when reseeding the grass, so that the ground they are trying to get better isn't torn up.

Also the rates to play are good as well.

Great day in the course.

Course had benefitted from recent rains making the fairways green but firm. Greens were also firm but in good shape. Wind made it real fun 😁

Better than expected

I’ll admit that I wasn’t expecting much, but the course was better than I thought it would be. Greens ran well and there definitely were some challenges in the wind.

Good course at great price

Lighthouse Country Club was a pleasant surprise. The greens ran true and the pace of play was great (one group let us play through), but overall a good experience and would play again given the chance.
