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.

Good Course, Bad Weather

The course is a little off the beaten path in Kingsland, but upon arrival, the course was in quite good shape. The weather was sub-par and we eventually got rained out after playing only 9 holes. Would have liked to play the back nine as the front nine was fun and in good shape. We did get a rain check for the future. In the late spring of 2025, they were hit by a tornado that damaged everything, and the restaurant building is all that is open to the public. But they are making do while they wrestle with the insurance companies. There has been no reduction in course maintenance and the grass on greens and fairways is thick and true. An interesting and fun course layout - first time playing this course. I recommend this course and it was a good value for the money too. Kudos to the staff (Travis was very welcoming) for keeping their heads high and the course operating and in good condition.

We changed our mind not to come that far out, we were traveling 100 mile to visit your course!. And you wanting to penalized us for our choice. Golf now keeping our 6$ is ok but for the course to then charge the full cost if no show is crazy. If you want to be like that then put that up front in the beginning not after the fact BURIED IN SMALL PRINT.

Always a pleasure playing in the morning at Lighthouse….

The course continues to come in this summer; as compared to past summers. The fareways and greens staying green and thickening; and what storm damage the course took, has been minimized and cleaned up well….. and the temporary club house works well until the proshop is back in order. Thanks.
