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.

Awesome Day!

We had a tee time at 1:55, and showed up about 30 minutes early. Course was not busy and we got right on. Played in a little over 3 hours. Course was in super condition and very playable. Hadn’t played here in several years as I have moved out of the area. Well worth the trip.

Fun Hill Country Course

Great course to play - course is in excellent shape - greens are great - water available on the course as well as restrooms - pace of play was good - staff are outstanding. Water comes into play on several holes - sand on many holes - course is in really very good shape. Try it out - also new carts at the course.

What's not to like - fore!

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.
