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.

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.

Surviving the 100 degree days
While summer takes its toll on most muni courses in TX, lighthouse was in very good shape. The greens actually left ball marks! Fun tract but be ready for some twists!!!
Thank you for your review, Owen6528864. We will pass along your positive experience to our team at Lighthouse Country Club. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Lightning Greens
This is a fun track. Playing from the tips isn’t very far but the course plays difficult. The greens are extremely quick and are challenging. As a golfer trying to get better, I appreciated the difficulty of the course. Friendly staff and a very nice owner of the course.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, Jp19er! We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Greens were better than expected
Considering summer in TX is here the greens were in good shape. Made some nice putts because the ball rolled true.
Layout is a little screwy on a couple of holes but a fun play!

Fantastic
You need more than five stars to rate this course. I'd give it ten! If you've never played there, make a point to put it on your must play list. Course in emaculet shape. Best greens you'll ever see. Make the drive it's well worth it!
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, u000002862592! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Fantastic Conditions
All around excellent course. Staff keeps the course in perfect condition and pricing is fair. I would recommend this course to anyone. Plenty of challenge and fun to play. Extraordinary use of natural granite outcroppings in the course design.
Wow, we are so happy you enjoyed your round, gteltow! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
A Hidden Gem
This course has GOT to be the best kept secret in Central Texas, if not the entire state. The greens are some of the best I've seen anywhere. The course is relatively short, but scenic and challenging enough. The par-5 sixth hole requires distance and accuracy, and has a beautiful green surrounded by natural rock formations.
For the price, this place just can't be beat.
We'll be back!
Hij9hsDIZTczpANwbbwY1y. 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 country club review
Course was in good condition and greens running a 15 on stimpmeter per the staff, if you call it a staff. Staff very unfriendly, both the person who checked us in and his replacement around noon. Barely would tell where the water was located and told another group that the greens were fast and he did not care if they played or not.
We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us 4 stars! We are going to pass on your feedback to the teams in charge so they can work to make changes. Thanks for visiting Lighthouse Country Club. We hope to see you again in the future.
Worth the extra drive from town
For the price, you get good greens, readily nice fairway, and a nice course layout. On a Saturday afternoon, very light play and we got around in 3:30. Very much work the extra drive for us Austinites. Adding a stop at Cooper's didn't hurt.
Gyeric, 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.
