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.

Fun course

First time playing this course. We got lucky as several weeks of rain did wonders for the dry grass. Fun course and a very good Golf Now price. Some of the holes were "blind" , but after your first round you'll be ready on the second. Greens seemed fast (to us). Play it, you'll like it.

Tough but fair

It’s a challenge course with lots of OB but rewards solid fairway shots with great approaches to the greens. Staff are always great to chat with.

Fun course!

Lighthouse is back! Springtime troubles with the greens are over and the course is in great condition. Greens are back to rolling nice and smooth and the fairways were excellent (at least the few that I was able to hit). They always have friendly service and yesterday was no exception. I love the variety of the course layout. It's always a challenging, yet fun round. Definitely recommending to all my golfing buddies!

New greens! Beautiful course.

Mid-to-low price for the area, this course is beautiful. 18 holes with sand and water and the course is in great condition. They had struggled over the last year to get their greens back in shape. They did a fantastic job at that!

I'm adding them to the regular rotation.

Summertime golf

This is a great little course and one of our favorites (wife and I play together) as it’s not long and there are few carries over water for her.

A few of the greens are under repair so if you’re shooting for scores it’s lacking. If you want an enjoyable round without big crowds and pushy players this is for you.
