Rating Snapshot
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.

Best greens in central texas
Love coming here to play despite a hours drive. Great course. Layout and everything. The clubhouse is kinda bare. But that’s ok. I hope to host a regional tournament there in 2022 maybe.
Great experience
This course has some of the prettiest greens I’ve seen. Even though we have had a very dry summer it is still in pretty good shape.
Great Greens!!! Really good consistency. Semi-fast greens.
Greens are fast, but consistent. Really good course layout.
Your feedback is important to us, Rohouse22. 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.
Good course. Fun to play.
This is a fun course with some challenging shots. The rating was a little higher than I expected it to be. The course is decent but nothing spectacular. I got a deal on Golf Now hot deal pricing so it was worth the money at that rate.
Hi Vincent6115101. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Lighthouse Country Club.
Lighthouse Shines
The course was lush even though the summer is quickly turning brutally hot. The greens were fast but fair with no blemishes. Play was quick. Bunkers and traps did not have rakes. As a result I hit into someone else's divot and could not get out. Not cool.
Hi u642620387. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We are sorry your ball landed in a divot in the sand trap. Due to COVID safety guidelines we do not have rakes at the moment. Thank you for your patience and thank you for playing Lighthouse Country Club.
Great Hill Country Golf Course
Course is in very good shape - greens putting true - bunkers in good shape - some water to challenge the golfer and overall a very solid and fun course to play. Really enjoyed the round. Texas course so be prepared for hot weather in the summer & bring your own water as the Covid-19 measures mean no water stations that are normally on the course.
Your feedback is important to us, gbaty. 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.
Worth the drive
Perfect greens. Friendly staff and players. I was a single and everyone let me play through. They should turn the 18th into a par 4 somehow, but other than that, love coming out here. Great value.
Thank you for your review, bockadoo. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good value
Great value and a fun course to play !
For a Texas course in late July in very good shape

Unique Course
Course was pretty and in very good condition. However, it was often narrow, greens were super fast and pin placements were often absurd. God help you if your first putt was from above the pin.
Hi k2ranger! Thank you so much for leaving us with your feedback. We value our customer experience, so your review is important to us. We will make note and we hope to see you back!
First timer
Good course overall. Tough greens, some narrow chutes, but nice all in all
We love hearing about our golfers' experiences, u000005569189. Please tell us more about what you enjoyed from your round with us. Thanks for choosing us!
Best course in the area!
I’m visiting from Fort Lauderdale, Florida where golf courses are numerous. Hands down this is one of the most beautiful, well-maintained courses I’ve played. Not only are the fawns and deer crossing throughout, the hazards and course design keep me interested. A must try! I only wish their restaurant was still open as it was delicious and a perfect ending to the game.
Your feedback is important to us, amyechattin. Thank you for sharing your 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club, as you are visiting from Florida!
Hi, u7785992. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you at the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Worth the drive.
Worth the drive from Austin. Course in excellent condition. You need to play it a couple of times to figure out the doglegs on front nine. Back nine al little more straight forward. Overall excellent course.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, cheech13! Thanks for your great feedback! We hope to see you again soon :)
nice surprise
I play last year in this course and yesterday was a nice surprise to see the field in great conditions, the greens were fast an nice and the course was in excelents conditions to enjoy your game.
Thank you for your review, u780292525. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Exceptional value and great thinkers course
First time playing here. The first six holes are exceptional. That said, many holes that make you think as the layout is an absolute hidden gem here in Texas. Lots of thinking your way around the course and greens. Greens in excellent shape and rolled at about 11. They could charge double and it’d be worth it. Made a one hour drive from Austin and I’ll be back.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, u000001789322! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Great course!
Very well conditioned course. Played on a hot deal and were asked to play the back first as they had an event going off on the front. Played in 3.5 hours. People are friendly and the course was stellar. Worth the drive and then some. Definitely will be coming back!
Thank you for your review, u700201351. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Lighthouse was great
I live in Kansas City, Ks. And come down to visit family every couple of years. This is the 4 th time I have ever played the course. It was in the best shape I have ever seen it in. Highly recommend it.
Rog949, thank you for your kind words! Thank you for playing with us again! We hope to see you back and save travels!
Worth the drive from Austin
Been playing here for 2 years....about 4 to 10 times per year. Rates are the best in greater Austin area. You can find 18 holes with cart on golfnow for as low as $14.
This course is one of the best if not the best in Austin area for quality of course conditions...award winning superintendent.
Must play.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, gllewell! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Where’s Dylan??
While Dylan was getting married, we’re out playing! Course is in REALLY GREAT shape. Greens are just absolutely SUPERB! Fairways are excellent!!!
Place does an AMAZING job protecting us from Covid. Very adamant about mask wearing in the pro shop and won’t let you in without one.
Off course amenities has never been this places deal. The owner works really hard here to make sure we have a nice product.
Well done.
