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.

“Greens?”
I have played here often and love the course layout but the so-called greens have really deteriorated. They hard, bare, rough…really sad.
Hello, fisherbrent. 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.
Greens still recovering
While this course almost always seems to be a good value for the dollar, yesterday I found the greens in sub-par condition. In fact one green you would have to say was just brown! Overall always a fun tract, but needs a little TLC.

Greens aren’t to par yet
Been here a few times the past couple years. My guess is they’re still recovering from the snow storm in February. Tee box’s and fairways are good. But the greens aren’t even playable. It’s just sand and patches of grass. Wait to play this place until the greens get back to normal if you care at all about how the greens look and feel.

Average course
Basically an average course with Golfnow prices it’s an outstanding deal. A heads up though, they have punched and sanded all greens. It’s necessary this time of year so just beware.

Greens are TERRIBLE right now
First impression today, between my car and the pro shop there were 3 signs telling me I need to wear a mask inside. However, I walk in with my mask on and both employees inside are not wearing a mask at all. I joked about it, thinking I might get a basic apology and at least the guy behind the counter would put his on but he replied “as long as the boss doesn’t see”.
Of course there’s no starter, or Marshall and the regulars/members can’t be bothered to let you play through even if there’s no one in front and they’re clearly holding you up. And the greens are soooooo bad, the worst I’ve seen in central Texas in the last year. Poa grass EVERYWHERE, huge dirt patches and just overall terrible. It’s sad too, cuz it’s spring time and every single other course I’ve played lately (I play 3-4 times a week) are absolutely flawless. Either these guys have just given up or they don’t know what they’re doing, but unless you get a $10 hot deal I would avoid at all cost.

Best bang for the buck in the Hill Country
Beautiful vistas and agreat layout. The par 5 6th is one of the best, and most unique holes I have ever played. Staff is top notch and always friendly. Played plenty of courses costing much more that can't compete with Lighthouse. The course is challenging, but fair. Several nice risk reward holes.

Fun round.
Course fairways were in really good shape but greens were a little rough. They had been recently airated and seeded/sanded. Still a real good time.

Disappointed.
The greens were not close yet on this date. Overall, the course hasn’t recovered from the extreme winter storm. Hopefully, things will get better in April
