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.

Bad experience
Got behind a Fivesome who wouldn’t let the twosome in front of us through. 5 hour round, long wait on every shot. Not sure why the course would allow that. No marshall. Have always liked the course and staff but not sure I’ll go back if they allow this.
Good deal
One of my favorite hill country courses—interesting layout, some challenging holes, very fast greens.

Good deal
The fairways were hard - almost hardpan and the greens are amazingly fast -really too fast. Probably has to do with the time of year. I still like it though and it’s a GREAT value. Friendly staff as well. Will always come back here!

Great Texas Hill Country course
This course is great, the club house staff are really personable and easy to deal with. This is my favorite course for many reasons as stated above. I have to mention to that the maintenance staff of 3 people this time of year absolutely is the best. I have no idea how they get done what is required on this course, but they do. So I recommend folks to acknowledge this if they feel the same as I do to the management.
Secondly, the people that run the MGA and tourneys on tuesday and thursday and friday do a great job. You will not find a better group of men and women to play golf with at the course.

Needs TLC
Been playing this course for years! Used to be just a pasture. It was greatly improved with new ownership years ago. However, it has gone unloved for awhile. Right now tee boxes are awful. Keep piling up sand but never change location. Like hitting from a trap on some holes. There needs to be some updates to cart paths as well. Made some improvements years ago, but stopped. Lots of dirt paths that hold water. Last issue is the rough. It has gone wild and not much actual rough buffer before you in really trashy deep stuff. Forget the traps that are full of gravel and hard as a rock.
Now, my comments are intended in a constructive way as I will continue to play here due to location. If properly maintained, this could be a showcase course, it is a beautiful course with all kinds of nuances to make it memorable.
Being in Kingsland, it needs to return the restaurant. It was quite good before. If needed, raise prices to cover the cost of making your profit.
Thanks

Always in great shape
I play here probably monthly. The greens are slick but fair. Fairways in good shape as well. Well worth the money.
Nice hidden gem
Course was in great shape, good layout, friendly staff and you can't beat the value for the price. It's a little out of the way/off the beaten path, but it's well worth the money and the trip. I highly recommend you play this course

Hill Country Gem
Challenging, but fair layout with great views of the Packsaddle mountains. Greens are in excellent shape and roll true and very fast. Manicured bunkers (some could use some sand) strategically placed in fairways and greens. Pace of play was excellent! Great track!
