Rating 72.9

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.

Best secret of good golf in Hill Country.Try the back tees if you want to be challenged.

Beautiful Hill Country with flowers for ladies and birdies for real golfers unless you play the back tees ,then good luck.

Do not miss the restaurant with great food from a great staff.

I have no interest in this course except love to pass on deals to others.

Too early in the Spring for course conditions

Early Spring and the course showed considerable wear/dormant grass. Really like the front nine. Boring on the back. Play was backed up considerably. Would recommend when weather allows course to improve.

Over booked, late start, lots of elderly slow players

If you like playing at a reasonable pace do not play this course in good weather because it will be full of elderly slow players.

Could be great in spring or fall

The greens weren't over seeded, but I have no other complaints.

I'm really looking forward to playing this when things green up.

Great course for any level of golfer.

This course is one of the best in the Hill Country. Just outside of Austin, without the crowd. They have a Bar/Grill there also, best food in the area.

Course Condition

The Golf course is under new ownership and they are doing a great job with course maintenance and staffing. The course has been established and new construction on roads is complete. If you are looking to build a new home on this course now is a great time. The value of play verses cost of play is outstanding. Kingsland is a small town with lots of opportunity for growth, and expansion. If you are in the area give The Lighthouse Golf Course a visit. I'm thinking you'll have a wonderful time.
