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.

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!

Total suprise! Faaast Greens, Blind Shots, Beautiful Views

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.
kpd3062, 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.
Great Greens!!! Really good consistency. Semi-fast greens.

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.

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
