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.

Beautiful Day, Beautiful Play

The course is in great shape and the greens are well groomed. This a good course for a player with moderate skill from the white tees with added challenge from the longer tee locations. Some rough spots on the cart paths, so slow down. Overall all a beautiful place to enjoy a fun round of golf with friends.

Blue Skies and Green Tees

This course is a fun course to play from the well placed par threes to the dog leg par 5. Beautifully located in a green valley tucked in the hill country of Texas. After your game there is plenty to if entertainment in the surrounding towns.

Lighthouse Golf Course

Nice golf course for the money. A few water holes and a some elevation changes on a handful of holes. Greens OK for mid winter. Tight fairways.

Hill Country Golf

This course is fun although too many greens have multiple levels.

This is the only course I've ever played that only provides 6 tees with ea. cart -- i.e. one cannot purchase beg or borrow tees--- Don't forget to bring your own tees :) :)

Great Course for the Money!

Played here for the first time and really enjoyed it. Some very interesting holes, especially #6. Kind of surprised when an unanticipated shotgun scramble started and surrounded us, but the guys in the scramble were very friendly and cordial. Course is a little tighter than I am used to, so I didn't play my best but that's not the course's fault! Will play here again!

Definite Must Play

The LightHouse golf course is in Kingsland,Tx. and used to be called Packsaddle. The effort that the grounds crew put in here is evident as this is in my opinion one of the most consistent tracks in the hill country area. The greens have always been Fast,True, and well maintained since I have been playing there for the last five years. The Fairways are Lush and trimmed well. The course layout and the surrounding views make this one of my favorite go to's in the area to bring friends to. The burger at the lighthouse grill is Amazing! The Course can be challenging and shot placement on more than a few holes is key for par or better. Full practice facilities and Pro Shop.

Great round until the lightning

Great all-around course. My only complaint is getting a yardage. The markers are painted on the turf and difficult to spot. Fortunately, I was playing with someone who had a mobile device. Couldn't finish three holes because of lightning. Look forward to coming back.

Fine Hill Country Course

We have known this course and played it annually for many years. This was THE best condition it has ever been in. Staff was welcoming. Views on back nine are outstanding. Had heard new ownership was improving course and it's true. Manicured well. Will return in the fall.

Game review

Really enjoyed the course I' play the white tees my son plays the tips , fairways were excellent The greens have been sanded and airerated about three days before so we really couldn't give a good estimate on how they ran all the time wish I could've played it before it was airerated that's only reason why did not give it a five star rating.

Great Course

We played 18 holes, the course was in spectacular shape, tees, fairways and greens. The greens in particular are undulating and extremely challenging. The fairways are very deceptive too. It was our first time on the course, I hope to play there again.

Lighthouse is a beauty

The fairways were so well mown,you can putt from 50 yards out. I have really never seen a better kept course, and I have been to a few TPC's. Put this one one your bucket list now. Worth the drive

A Pleasant Experience

The greens were fast and smooth, the fairways were thick and the balls sat up nicely. The bunkers had an unusual sand that was fairly coarse but very easy to hit out of. The layout is challenging and will punish those who grab driver on every tee. A very like-able experience.

Beautiful course

Traveled from Austin for the day. This course is in amazing shape from tee to green. Nicer than any public course in Austin and what a value for under $30. Staff was friendly and Marshall present on the course, which wasn't needed. Plenty of water stations and shade near the tee boxes. You probably should have a cart girl for the 99 degree heat. Will definitely be back. Half the wholes are wide open, half are tight. Greens rolled fast.

Can't say enough great things about this course.

Can't wait to come back! Great job Lighthouse!

Beautiful, well kept course

Fairways and Greens were in great shape. The ball didn't roll very far as it was early and wet. This is a course that you need to play to understand how to manage it. Club selection and course management are key. Will be back. Food was good at the bar and grill as well.

rude staff

course is in good condition, could use some professionals to run the pro shop.

no starter, we had 3 singles play through in the first 4 holes and then were admonished by the lady pro that we were holding up play. I would like to point out that we finished in 3 hours and 50 minutes and the 3 some behind our 4 some was more than a hole behind us. Bottom line course is busy that's great but if you're not part of the clique that plays out there regularly you aren't welcome.
