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.

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
Doug is a pro’s pro. Took great care of our group. Just like he did at his previous course. Take care of him and Bear and Lighthouse will be THE course to play for years.

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!

Greens fairways hard as a cart path!!
First I have played and been a huge fan of lighthouse for years. We come up from Sun City Georgetown at least once or twice a month,it salways in great shape. We played Tuesday 11/23.
The greens are always pretty quick( we love that) but that day they were rock hard,couldn’t t hold a high flop shot, normal pitches rolled off the greens, putting was ridiculous. We all had 4-6 3 putts. We are all 9 handicappers. Same with the fairways,rock hard. The traps most had hard packed and little sand. On the back we set a rule,”free drop from traps”
Half way thru the back we almost left, just unreal.
Now again let me say, I have always in the past been a great fan of lighthouse. This was just not a good experience at all and all of us commented we d not be back for a long time. We ve played several courses in the area,they are not having these issues. Real disappointment.

Beautiful views and fun challenges
Overall this course is so fun to play. The holes are pretty narrow so there’s a big emphasis on controlling your drive. If you’re like me and favor slicing the ball you’ll find your new habitat is the rough - and the rough at this course is… well, very rough. But the views are fantastic. After the 9th hole it seemed we were all alone and the pace was excellent, and there’s a lot of fun challenging holes. Overall, this course is a real treat to play and is worth checking out if you haven’t been before.
Hello, princer40. Thank you for visiting us at Lighthouse Country Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
