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.

The fairways were beautiful for the hot temperatures and lack of rain. The greens are fast but run true. Love this course.

Great Value

Lighthouse is a fun course. It is set a beautiful part of the Texas Hill Country with a Lake just a solid tee shot away. The greens and fairways were in great shape, especially for August in Texas. The cost was excellent.

Scenic Course

Very nice course I believe for the area. The water hazards and granite out croppings made for a nice change of scenery.
If you have your own gps ( I do not yet ) it would be advantageous to bring it as there were not enough yardage markers in my opinion.
Other than that, it was a great course.

SLOW!!!!

Our tee time was 1:21pm. We were right behind two five team groups playing a scramble. The first group moved at a fair pace the second group we were behind was very, very, slow. WE played golf four straight days and the other three experiences were great, not this one.
I will not take friends to play here in the future.
My personal opinion there should never be more than four players in any group and this is why.

A Hidden Gem

I played one week after the storms of May 2015. 5 holes were closed due to lightning knocking out the irrigation, but I really enjoyed this course.

It is very well maintained. The bunkers were in pristine condition and the ground staff do a great job. Nice greens, nice fairways and $35 for 18 holes. Great views and it is a challenging course. Not overly long, but you need to be straight off the tee.

Highly recommended.

Interesting golf course with granite formation.

Interesting golf course with great greens and great fairways. Course conditions were quite good. You could not ask for any better for Texas since the last few years have been very dry. Staff is friendly. Carts are good. The golf carts don't shake you a round like some others.

Fantastic course

I drive out from Austin sometimes twice a month to play this gem.
Was given a "birthday" round over at Legends...a huge waste of $$$ compared to Light House.
Since I've been coming out to Light House I've yet to find the course in bad condition no matter the time of year. This course is in better condition than 80% of the courses here in Austin and even with the expense to drive to Kingsland, it is STILL a much better value. And the scenic views puts this course right at the top.
The fairways and greens are always in terrific shape...
This will continue to be my "Go To" course when I need a guarantee of a fantastic course for my $$$.
