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.

Worth the drive!

I was told the super had done a great job of reviving this course and he has done a great job. Enjoyed the course so much we played it again... Greens were in great shape. The Rock outcroppings remind you of AZ courses.... Drive out and have fun!

Fun day

The day was beautiful, but windy. The course was fine everywhere, except the greens had just been sanded and were a mess. Putting was close to impossible. But I'd go again. It was a nice course. The hamburgers in the restaurant were awesome!

Nice little course

The course is in good condition in spite of very recent maintenance of the greens---long and slow. The course is short at about 6500 from the tips but some trouble to make you pay attention.

Fun place...

My wife and I were traveling and wanted a place to play while driving through the area. We were very pleasantly surprised to find a course as nice as this available on a nice spring Saturday. The price was right, and the course was great fun. The golf course is challenging from the back tees without being overpowering. Its not a long course, but there are several holes which feature forced lay-ups. Plus, it was fair and enjoyable from the ladies tees. The only negative ( and its a minor one) is that you really need some local knowledge to understand what is ahead of you on three or four holes. The diagrams on the scorecard are not detailed and, unless you have played here before, there are some surprises awaiting you when you arrive at your tee shot.
The course was in great shape and very well maintained. The staff was very accommodating and the clubhouse/pro-shop was clean and well stocked. All in all, a very good experience. Only one complaint. It would have been nice to know before we drove out that the greens were aerated and topped earlier in the week. Still, very glad we made the drive and we will be back.

This course has challenging features

We used to play this course regularly with coworkers several years ago. It was primitive then with many beautiful wild flowers and few houses. Today, there are many houses and not as pretty wild flowers as before. Some holes were changed and modified and it was difficult to find them in the midst of new roads and houses. Overall it was great for the price and we enjoyed playing it.

Great golf in the hill country.

Fairways were plush. Unusual in a drought. Greens were aerated but had a great roll. Should be fantastic when I go back in a month.

best greeens in Central Texas

This course is a gem. What a value. The greens were incredible. Fast, true, interesting, small, large, sloped, flat, you name it, they have it. This course is set up among rolling hills with lots of water, trees, hazards and blind shots. I cannot say enough about it. It is a course you want to play again since the first time is difficult. Many tees had blind shots with greens tucked in very strange places. Go play this course, you will enjoy it. Don't expect to play your index though the first time around.
