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.

Perfect
I’m not sure if this is a hidden gem or what, but I love playing here. I’ve been the past two weekends and it’s been stellar!! Not super busy, friendly staff, COVID-19 aware. Just all the things. The layout is superb and overall the course is in excellent condition. Played today in exactly 3.5hrs. I was a bit hesitant to write such a good review in fear others would begin playing here lol. So good I couldn’t keep it to myself. Will be back next weekend, for sure!
u314160295401, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. We'll plan on seeing you next weekend :)
Hi Kkosh06. Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.
Best by Far
I've played courses throughout the country, including Pebble. I'm also a member at Avery Ranch, but I have to say that Lighthouse Country Club is by far the best course for the price. They could easily charge $100 for green fees. Very scenic, a lot of deer, fairways were like hitting off of a perfect mat, the greens were fast, but rolled absolutely true from being in prestine condition. Also, the greens held good shots. The course is challenging with some tight holes, but very fair if you're in the fairway. I played twilight for $26.50 with a cart, and my wife got to accompany me for free (some courses will charge a rider fee). Not sure how they do it, especially in the July Texas heat, but they do. Hats off to their crews that maintain this course. This is truly a hidden gem. I will be back for sure!
domino41, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.
Decent track
There’s some fun holes, but there are also some really weird holes. I don’t know if it was from rain or over watering, but it was very wet and doesn’t seem to drain well. I will look forward to playing it again and knowing the goofy holes and hopefully it won’t be wet. Oh yeah, bring your own range finder. The only yardage markings are spray painted in the middle of the fairway. Final thing I’ll say are the greens are pretty fun, they rolled nicely and they’ll either drive you crazy or you’ll have fun trying new shots.

Your feedback is important to us, JR512. 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.
Great Course
Lighthouse is the JAM! Fairways and Greens are in very solid shape. Pace of play was about 4 hours and would have been faster if we didn’t have 2 teens sharing clubs in front of us. Set up tee time through GolfNow and couldn’t have been smoother. In addition, this club was adherent to all COVID-19 protocols as well. MORE THAN WORTH the drive from Georgetown on a Sunday afternoon. WE WILL BE BACK, SOON!!

Nice course, good value
Really pretty views of the hill country. Liked the front nine better. Felt like I was playing Enchanted Rock at one point.
Thank you for your review, Hensonlaw. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
This course is in excellent condition!
The greens are well manicured and challenging. The fairways are in excellent condition , overall the course is challenging but fair. I’m putting together my regular foursome from Houston for a return trip!! I play private courses quite often and this course is definitely in that class for a fraction of the price
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, Franko27! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Always enjoyable
Definitely worth the drive from Austin. Wide open course with plenty of variety holes and tees. Staff is always friendly and pace of play is good. Go play this course!
allencorder1981, thank you for your kind words! We hope to see you again at the course very soon for another 5-star experience. Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.
Best value in the Austin area
Course is short, but it is not easy. There's a lot of trouble and tricky shots and small creeks that make this course difficult. The greens are very fast and true, with challenging breaks. For the money, this is a steal if you're willing to make the drive. Staff are great. Grab a hot dog and a cheap beer or two and enjoy the round. Prices are good for 36 holes, so it might be worth trying to get a tee time early and play a second round. Usually the pace of play is decent. Nothing much longer than 4 hours, and quick in the afternoon.
