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.

Some unusual holes

This course always intrigues me, the layout of a couple of holes leave you scratching your head. Number 2, while short has a challenging dogleg, followed by an opposite dogleg on number 3. Number 6, while reachable in 2, you better be able to stick a long iron. Then number 10 has to be the worst par 5 in the hill country, no way to play to get on in 2...

Fun Course

I played this course a few weeks earlier and loved it so much that I booked around again. This course is 85 miles form my house. I play mostly in the San Antonio area and I rate this course as one of my favorites. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The course is in great shape. The carts are gas and in good condition.

Best Value In The Hill Country

A real gem in the Hill Country. Kingsland is kind of an out of the way place so you will not just stumble onto the course.

The course is well laid out and maintained. Visually it looks to be easy but is sneaky difficult. Fast greens, fast fairways and short rough. Enough water hazards to get your attention. Only negative on one hole is the water extends several yards toward the fairway from the red stakes and for a firs time play can get you.

Well Worth the Drive

Located near Lake LBJ and in Texas Hill Country Lighthouse is a very nice course. It is somewhat challenging and an interesting layout. The course was in good condition and will provide a good round for all levels of players. It has a grill but was closed on Mondays the day we played.

Hidden Gem

We traveled with another couple to Hill Country to visit wineries and golf. I found us a great deal on Golfnow, but had my doubts. Sometimes, you get what you pay for. I read the reviews before booking it and decided it was worth a chance. We were happily surprised at the good condition of the course. The surrounding scenery was nice, of course the wildflowers were in bloom. Most of the holes on the back 9 were straight but the greens were challenging. I am not a great putter but no one in our group could get a good read. Staff was very friendly. I would love to play here again.

Awesome greens

The greens are some of the best around. Roll true and lots of undulations make them truly exceptional. Layout provides for lots of choices in club selection. The 6th hole is a short par 5 which looks fairly simple from the tee but you 2nd shot calls for much thought due to the rock croppings down the right side and around the green .

Great hole!

Great greens, granite outcroppings

My first time at this course was playing in a tournament and the former head professional was in my foursome. His knowledge of the course was shared and made it easy to play. The greens are in fantastic shape and they are the true treasure of this course. There are granite outcroppings that accent the design of this course. Holes #6 & #7 are a par 5 and par 3 respectively. Fun holes to play. The closing hole is another par 3. Don't let it fool you. It is uphill and into the wind. Plays long and requires a shaped shot. I look forward to playing this course again.

This is a great bargain and really nice course.

Got a Hot Deal on Golf Now and was extremely surprised that this gem was so close. My wife and I play weekly and try to play as many different courses as possible. This was an hour drive away and we were very pleased with the course and its conditions. We will be back! The cart paths are not fully completed, but as the community continues to grow I'm certain the course will improve even more.
