Rating 72.9

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.

Could be better

First staff was very friendly. Fairways in great shape. Course layout is super fun with a lot of challenging holes

The only bad rating I would give are the greens every green had brown or burn spots in them for as nice as the fairways are please fix the greens I would play the course again just for the staff and layout but please get the greens fixed and this would be an amazing course

**Need to have a Marshal on the course to speed up pace of play. We were a 2some stuck behind beginner golfers taking forever on each hole. They would not let us pass them.

**Sime of the greens are getting in bad shape with fungus or burning up.

Lighthouse Country Club

First time to play this course. Well worth the 1.5 hour drive. The course had a good layout, some blind shots and shot placement were next time I play it, I will have a better understanding of the course and hopefully I will play better. For all of the golfers walking in the high grass, your welcome..all those balls were brand new.

Best course conditions yet

Recent rains had fairways and green in very good condition. Greens were not quite as firm and made for better approach shots but you had to hit the ball firmly when putting. Really good day!

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.
