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.

Could eventually be an all round excellent golf course the green are as good as any you will fine at other higher priced courses in the area. .
Since the new owner arrived good improvements have been made. The greens are as good or better than any in the area courses. In July they took possession of all new carts. This was for sure a necessary need. One thing that would make Lighthouse Golf Course even a better value and experience is to repair/replace the cart paths. Due to cost this is probably not at the top of the to do list at this time. The owner is an individual not a We need to cut him a little slack. This is not owned or managed by large corporation or management company.

A Excellent Hill County Golf Course
This Course is by far our favorite Golf Course! We make the 60 drive out to Kingsland from South Austin as often as we can. The course is ALWAYS in excellent conditions!! The pace of play is great, and everyone out there has that "friendly Hill County" disposition. We highly recommend this treasure of the Hill County!!
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, rabender! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Great Hill Country Track
First time playing this Hill Country treat. Very much enjoyed the course. Lots of great holes and great scenery. There’s one or 3 that felt like it was sort of forced and a few other blind holes that made it tricky for a first timer. Now that I’ve gone through it I’ll definitely be back!
Thank you for your review, nbrown79. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Your feedback is important to us, Dlehmann. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. We look forward to seeing you again at the course soon! Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.
awesome
Awesome!!! Tee boxes and fairways and greens were perfect. The greens were hard so it takes very little speed to make the ball roll like crazy. So greens are fast and the most challenging part of the course.

Blind golf .
Very narrow golf course and so much rough area and so many houses are very close to fairways without protection.
We drove over an hour to play and it was not worth it.

Hidden Hill Country Gem
Just a short drive from Horse Shoe Bay and far less expensive, but definitely worth it.
Challenging course, several blind shots, very challenging greens, considerable slope to greens. Unusual terrain (granite outcroppings on a couple holes, water on several holes. Some really good par 3 holes that were challenging.
Course is in fantastic condition. Entire course was exceptional. 18th hole green was quite sloped which made for a tough final hole. All staff was very friendly and courteous, including the mowing crews. Played on a trip. Wished I lived closer. Awesome round, and very clean carts. You won’t be disappointed!
