Lighthouse Country Club
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.

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.
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.
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.
Great experience...only difficulty was judging distance but the markers were better the next day.
Hello, jzizelman. Thank you for your 5-star rating! Please book another round with us soon.
Lighthouse
I met the owner Rick when checking in. He gave us an overview of the course. He was genuinely happy to have us there. We were impressed with the great shape the course was in. The Tif Eagle greens were perfect. There were impressive views of Packsaddle mountain at a number of holes. Just a great time. Will be back

Waylon's second time playing in TX
My nephew from Alaska is visiting me and wanted to play golf while he was here. I had never played this course, so we decided to try it. It was a wonderful choice, as the staff was really friendly and made us feel welcome. Will try to go back while he is still visiting.

Outstanding Texas Hill Country public golf course
I usually play the Legends Golf Course when I'm vacationing at Marble Falls Tx. I decided to play the Lighthouse GC and was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course and greens. The fairways are wide and well conditioned and the green are spacious and in great condition. The greens have just the right amount of undulation and challenge. Pace was excellent on a Friday mid morning tee time. I was very impressed with the varying elevations and course setups. Definitely a must play course if you are in the Marble Falls/Kingsland area. Not the easiest to find but worth the effort. Greens/fairway crews deserved kudos for their work on making this course a fun and affordable venue. I will be back when in the area.

Worth the drive
Finally made the hour long drive from Cedar Park to play here and it was totally worth it. Course is in great shape, greens roll true and fast, layout is interesting, and we played in less than four hours. Can't ask for much more. I'll be making the trip again.
Good Course /Slow Play
Been awhile since I had played this course. Course wgas in great shape, fairways good to hit of off, and greens were holding and putted smoothly,
My biggest letdown was the pace of play. There was a fivesome 2 groups ahead , and a threesome playing out of one cart, with one player being a kid, in front of me. I joined up with a 2 some and still took over 5 hours to play. The course isn't that long, and should never take that long walking or riding. No one seems to understand how to play cart golf, and what should have been an easy round time wise, ended up being not as fun.
Great Fun
The course layout was different. Some short holes that become very difficult if you are not familiar with the course. Great shape, nice greens and an awesome staff. We will go back.
A real hidden Gem!
Played here yesterday and it was great! The course is in great shape and will only get better as the greens were about 80% healed from the last aerification 3 weeks ago. Hole 6 and 7 are some of the most beautiful holes I played in Texas.
Great course
Course layout is awesome, and the conditions were pristine. Even this time of year when they’re trying to air rate the greens and the fairways. It really takes in the concept of risk and reward. Staff was super friendly and courteous.
Thank you for the 4-star rating! Come back to Lighthouse Country Club again soon.
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.
