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.

Second time around this course, really didn't remember much since its been about 6 years since I played there. Course layout is good, not real tricky except for a couple of blind tee shots, other than those the course is right in front of you. Conditions good, fairways tight, not my favorite, greens fast and smooth, didn't hit a bunker shot but playing partners commented about the thin lies. Solid course, we drove 1.5 hours to play and was glad we did.

Tee boxes are hard as rocks. Need water on them to soften and grow grass. Also most tee boxes have crown on them - need to be flattened out. Fairways are cut to short. No grass because of mowers. Stop cutting to short. When hitting your ball the club head bounces.

History

I have been playing this course since 1978. I live one and a half hours away, I still drive down to play as much as I can. The course is in near perfect condition. However, some weeds are starting to grow on the tee boxes. More variety of holes of any course I play.

Please read

FInally, they’ve stopped mowing the fairways so close. Today the ball actually sat up on grass. Before in hot weather the ball sat down on hard pan and the club face bounced off the ground and in wet weather the club face dug in and the ball contact was poor. The course was enjoyable today. Make this course feel like a resort course with your mowing.

Great staff, excellent condition

The staff is always great and you can't find a course that's in any better condition. I will always have great memories of Lighthouse. I've been flirting with shooting my age for three years now. I finally did it today. The condition Lighthouse is in made it possible!

The course was in great shape, especially for August in Texas. Greens were rolling about 13 and fairways were in great shape. very fun and somewhat challenging course layout.

Much improved!

I played this course 2 years ago for the first time. I liked the layout, but the course conditions were less than ideal.

I played it again today (Aug. 6, 2021) and was very impressed with the conditions of the course.

The fairways were a consistent height and while the rough wasn't very deep, it was deep enough to make you have to focus on your shots if you had to play from out of it.

The greens really got my attention. They were a good speed and very true. If you get your putt online with the right speed, you'll make a ton of putts.

I will definitely make the hour drive out to Kingsland to play this course again.

I'd like to see the driving range improved and some more sand in the bunkers, but those are my only real complaints.

To the course superintendent, nice work!

great hill country golf value!

Played as a single on a Thursday afternoon TeeOff special rate. First time on the course, and found it interesting, but not too difficult for me (13 handicap) off middle tees. You don't have to be a big hitter, but accuracy counts as well as local knowledge. The pro shop gave me a course yardage book, and that helped, as there are some force carry, blind tee shot, and lay up holes that you need to play carefully. Greens were smallish, but were in good shape along with the bunkers and the fairways for the most part. The cart paths were dirt much of the way around, so not sure if that would be an issue after rains..
