Length 6485 yards

Rating 72.9

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.

Picturesque

Couple of the holes (6 & 7) were very picturesque. Layout of the course was nice and can challenge you on a some shots with the trees and water. There was a tournament starting when I started play and the pro shop started me on 10 which allowed me to play at my pace. The tournament didn’t affect my pace of play. Greens rolled fast. Bunkers were hard sand and some fairways were hard pan. I recommend To get a good feel for the putting green and sand trap before starting your round.

First Time Playing

Gem in the Hills

This may be one of the most playable and fun courses in the Hill country area. I was lucky the day I played as it was windy and cold so not too many warm weather golfers showed up. Made the round incredibly relaxing. Staff was so nice and so accommodating. The course is really unique and the greens rolled beautifully. I would give this a 4.7 out of 5 if ratings were allowed in sub #s. Only reason not 5/5 is the rough was dormant and not grown in. I will absolutely play this course again and any time!

Nice Course

First time playing Lighthouse and even with all the good reviews I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course, given it’s December and there have already been a few freezes. Nice layout with enough challenging holes to keep things interesting. Greens rolled true with average speed. Friendly staff. Drove in from Georgetown Cedar Park area and it was worth it especially since very few people were on course at 1030 even though it was sunny and close to 60 degrees. 67 by the time I finished in 2.5 hours. I’ll be back.

Hill Country Treat

This course continues to impress me. The greens will give you nightmares but if you keep putting on them they will make you a better putter. It was better playing the course today as they have cut back on water all around the edge of the greens. When they do water around the greens you can't hardly ever hit a "pitch and run" or the ball will plug. Its a fun course to play even with the "granite" field on number 6. Larry Stirling

View & Values

If you're an Austin metro area golfer looking for a very affordable Hill Country/Highland Lakes escape, Lighthouse Country Club would fit the bill quite nicely. It's not destination golf by any stretch of the imagination, but pricing, shot values, and current course conditions (green throughout, more of a challenge than you might think out there) should make Lighthouse worth it for the average golfer. Be sure to take in the views of Packsaddle Mountain from the back nine; if that doesn't make you grateful you golf, and that you made the trip out to Lighthouse, then you're doing "golf escape" wrong!

Good Course

Lighthouse is a fun course that has good bones. Fairway conditions were above average and the greens were excellent. Each hole is unique making for an enjoyable experience. In particular, #6 plays through granite outcroppings making it among the prettiest holes in the Hill Country. I recommend playing here and will return myself.

Worth trip

I have been playing course for 41 years. After the course redesign a few years ago it went from being an OK course to a glorious course. Concrete or asphalt Cart paths would be nice but not necessary with granite soil. I got a kick out of the person that gave it a one star rating because of lack of amenities although he said it was a great course. I guess if they change the name to lighthouse golf course instead of country club he would rate it five stars. We have to drive 81 miles to play the course so we don’t get to play it as often as we would like. If he is however well worth the drive.

2nd best golf in central texas

The course was was in excellent condition. All the fairways , tee boxes and greens were in excellent shape. Only when you slice or hook to you get into some dry conditions but still I was able to play out of due to there bey so little grass ( or weeds) just off the fairway. For the money this is a really good course. The views are really nice too.
