Rating 72.4

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.

Lighthouse is back!

Greens seem to be in old form after freeze damage. Greens hold approach shots well and are rolling true. Fairways in good condition.

Always enjoy the track, even better with turf conditions being so good. Well Done Lighthouse!

Enjoyed Playing a much improved Lighthouse

I've played this course many times over the years the past several years. Played twice this spring so far, and it's been in fantastic condition. The greens especially are greatly improved and very good.

Definite recommend.

Pleasantly Surprised

Quick Guy trip to Austin. Decided to play two courses we have not played before. Was concerned about the 1.5 hour drive from Austin to Kingsland , Tx to play Lighthouse CC but was pleasantly surprised and not disappointed. Overall good shape and pace of play was good. If you’re in Austin and have the time, it’s worth the drive for $65, and beautiful area with great views .

Terrific Hill Country Golf Course

Lighthouse is a special treat to play. Very interesting holes and layout - staff are fantastic - new golf carts - greens a bit bumpy but that adds to the fun of playing the course - water available on the course - some fairly challenging holes - always a lot of waterfowl to see when playing - great pace of play. Hidden gem really. Highly recommend.

Good challenge on your game

Nice layout and demand for target golf to score well. The greens were slower than I’m used to playing, but with the weather and little rain the course was in good shape. I’ll definitely go back during the summer and see how much faster it plays.

Decent shape, very slow pace of play

I’ve played here a handful of times now, it’s a fun track. It’s in decent shape right now, I would imagine in the next month it’ll be in great shape. Most of the greens were ok, but tee to green it’s very much like a goat track.

What makes it 3 stars…the members. EVERY single time I encounter someone with their own golf cart (that obviously lives there) they are rude. They act like they’re members at some high end club and they look at you like “what are you doing on MY golf course?” And don’t even think about trying to play through, because that’s not happening.

I play here only when I can get like a $20 round and for that reason alone it’s worth it, but I can’t see playing here for more than $25 tops. And fingers crossed you don’t have to interact with the snooty locals, but if you do, remind them that this isn’t a high end private club. Lol
