Lighthouse Country Club

About
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.

Nice Place to Play
Overall a nice place to play, Young man at check-in counter was great…very friendly and enthusiastic. Course was good, but on the shorter side, a 71 Par if I remember correctly, but still good with nice scenery and some challenging holes. Was not very busy at all on a Saturday morning. We were able to play as a twosome and moved along well enough. Only bad part really was a couple of cups were not cut very well, not sure if this was due to the sharpness of the cup cutter or just the grass and the way it was growing. This situation did not allow for a couple of cups to be perfectly round at the top. No real biggie for me and my casual play, but might not appeal to more serious golfers. I would definitely golf here again, however, with all the golf course choices in the area, it might be hard to get back any time soon wanting to try the other courses as well.
Great day
I love this course. Not too difficult and has some really pretty holes.
Lovely course
Lighthouse is a quaint, remarkably beautiful course with water, sand and hills. Houses surrounding the course are well placed with very little chance of problems.
Every time that I get to play there, I come away relaxed and happy (except for my golf score - but that's on me.).
The clubhouse is due to open up again soon due to tornado damage, but there is also a large bar and gathering spot - so it's all good.
It is 5mi from town, so everything you need is nearby. If you need to rent a place, there are plenty of spots available in Kingsland, TX, and a small RV spot on the course.
Fun day golfing
Great course and we had a great time, friendly staff, new golf carts, the layout is enjoyable, my wife had fun too 😀
The Course was Great
The course was in amazing condition. We had perfect weather and the pace of play was manageable. Staff was not overly helpful and the starter was rude.
Great round
Fairways were in great shape. Greens were in great shape except for a few on the back nine that had some burn marks on them . Very interesting course with a lot of character. Staff all very friendly and starter let us go off first since we were a twosome . 3 hour round on a Sunday can’t be beat. Will play this gem again
Great Greens
Course is in great shape. The greens putt true!!
To bad we had to quit after six because of thunderstorms. They did give us a rain check and I was happy about that.
Great Course!
The course was in really good condition! Greens were exceptional!
Great experience. Played from appropriate tbox
Very nice course but the members who let a single join their fore some were amazing as well. Thankful and grateful. Fairways great. Greens great. Stay out of the rough. That's on me.
Shockingly nice course.
When I drove up to the course at 9AM, there were 4 cars in the parking lot. The majority of the facilities were wrapped in caution tape and roof tarps. So, my first impression was, oh crap. Apparently this clubhouse was destroyed during the recent storms.
I checked in and the attendant was very nice and accommodating.
On to the course. The practice facilities were in pretty good shape. They could use a larger practice green though.
Anyway, the course conditions were great. The greens had been sanded recently but it seems like all the courses are doing that monthly which kind of sucks. The greenside bunkers have been replaced with deep grass. Thats not easier but different in a good way.
The only true negative that I have is the maintenance workers, after seeing you're prepared to hit, they make no effort to stop their tractors, get out of the way and be quiet. Several workers in carts ran in front of me with no attempt at any common courtesy. Not all of them, but several.
In closing, it was a fun day and a fun course. I'll be back!
PS. Golfnow for this course acts really weird. Make sure you review the day and date before you hit pay. When I realized the app had switched dates, I called the course 10 times but their phone system doesn't work which may have something to do with only 4 cars in the parking lot.
