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.

Great layout
Have played this course for years! Wonderful location and layout! Seems to always be improving! Was an unusually quiet Saturday! Last time we played the place was crawling with players! This trip was pretty much the opposite. Maybe the $50 rate was a stretch for this type of course amenities. We have enjoyed it for much less but pretty much everything else in the world has gone up so why not tee times at Lighthouse. We will return!
Nice course but desperately needs water.
Sadly, this course is suffering due to lack of water. Greens are so fast as to be extremely difficult. Dead patches in fairways and on tee boxes, too. Pray for rain.

Great Layout, Poor Course Conditions
3rd time playing this course and all 3 times have the same issues:
Positives - course layout is great, views of Round Mountain and course topography excellent, staff was welcoming and friendly
Negatives - Hard as asphalt greens, no grass in fairways...well dead grass...everywhere, no cart paths to speak of creates bumpy ride, unkept tee boxes (seems the answer is just throw more sand down)
With such an awesome layout would help if the course experienced regular general maintenance and some watering every now and then.

Good golf and good staff
Accommodating staff that started us on the back nine to avoid crowds on the front nine. We played a 3-hour round.
Always a good challenge and great shape.
They have only partial paved paths, but not that important for me.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.
Beautiful and challenging
Another great afternoon at Lighthouse. The people are so friendly and Groundskeeper Zach tracked me down to return my cell phone! What a lifesaver! I was able to start on 10 and avoid some foursomes and had the course to myself! Fantastic bang for your buck!

Fairways are well kept, but the greens are incredible. Greens are quick, but true. Plus, they hold shots well.
A few tee boxes could use some TLC, but overall this is a great experience.

Conditions are not excellent as prior reviews saud
I had heard the conditions were not great, but recent reviews indicated they were excellent, so I went. While not bad for the drought conditions, it's only average. There are lots of weeds on the tees and encroaching on some greens. The one bunker I hit out of was rock hard. It was worth the discounted price, but don't go expecting excellence.

Great for the money
Love the course layout and the price we pay. Everyone is friendly! Pro shop is looking better than ever. We did have 6 people n front of us and the snack bar when we made the turn and one employee working the entire area. She was very sweet and working very hard but what a waste of time! Our round turned into a 5 hour round. That part was awful.
