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.

Nice course/Nice layout

Played Lighthouse on 2/4/15. Fastest round I've ever played. Played as a single in 2 1/2 hours. Didn't catch up to anyone till the 15th hole and they waved me through. I thought the layout of the course was great. Everything is brown, greens included but that's to be expected because of the time of year and the grass being dormant. In no way did it affect my game as I shot a 79 from the blues. Greens are quick but fair. Enjoyed it so much I'm returning this Saturday with my son and two of his friends. Didn't have a chance to enjoy the dining room or tavern after the round but I will when we finish on Saturday. I'll be playing here a lot more in the future and can't wait to see the course when it's greener. We live about 50 minutes away in Liberty Hill but this course is well worth the trip.

great course

Always enjoy playing at Lighthouse. The course is in great shape especially given it's the winter and we had a week of wet weather recently. The staff makes this the stand out golf experience in the area. They're glad to be there and they're glad you're there as well. I'm not a member and they know my name.
The wheels came off my game on the front nine. Scott, gave me a swing thought to fight through the bad spell and the back nine was better... much better. Never been to a course with such a kind caring staff.

Greens are not as good as they have been in the Past. Pace of play was ridiculous. Radom grouping 5,3,2, and I even saw a single out there.

Nice Course

I have played this course many times and always find it in good condition. From tee to green the course is friendly with fairly wide fairways and usually manageable rough. No holes are too long for the average golfer. The defense on this course is the greens. The greens are usually immaculate but there are no flat putts to be found. Use the practice green to warm up before teeing off, it is a good indication of what you will find on the course. The restaurant and bar are really nice. The food is good and reasonably priced.

Understaffed and disorganized

This course hosts a Friday scramble, which began as a shotgun start off the front nine. The pro sent us off the back nine, and when we made the turn, there were three groups stacked in front of us on #1 instead of continuing to start groups off the back. The pro shop attendant blamed Golf Now for poorly communicating with the club about reservations. This is the second time we have encountered scheduling conflicts at this course. We will choose a different Hill Country location for future tee times.

forgot

Forgot to say the only thing I don't like is that they turned #18 into a par 3 .used to be a awesome par 4 .I personally don't like to finish with a par 3.. But as usual its all about the money. Sold property for houses. That said go play you will love it.

Interesting Course

I really enjoyed the Lighthouse. The tips proved to be somewhat challenging, but not overly so. I did not putt well, but that is to be expected the first time playing a course. This course will be played again soon.

A Super Value

Fairways in outstanding condition - never had a bad lie in my fairway. Greens recently sanded for upcoming tourney, but smooth and fair. Bunkers in fine condition and rough trimmed nicely. Golf Shop and Lounge personnel were very pleasant and helpful. Adult beverages are value-priced. All leading to a very enjoyable round. Only "bumps in the road" are, literally, the bumps in the cart paths and we had to stop to air a cart tire at the turn (while the cart boy watched) and then cart battery gave out on #14 - but a replacement cart soon came and the cart boy sat and smiled as he watched us transfer our bags to the replacement cart. That was a minor glitch, but I was surprised by the disinterested attitude of the cart boy. He would never make it elsewhere.

Excellent Hill Country Course

This is My first time playing this course. It was an enjoyable challenge for me since I am about a 25 handicap. The Granite hole is awesome. The fairways were in excellent shape. The greens were recently sanded and very fast. I enjoyed the course and will play it again.
