Worth the Drive.

Course is in good shape, well maintained fairways and bunkers, greens were smooth and fast. The local Kingsland residents have a nice course to call their own. Everyone from pro shop to members playing were very friendly and polite. Chris and I will be back since he got his butt whooped and wants a rematch!

Great greens and interesting layout

Some of the best greens in the Austin area. Consistent speed and roll make for great scoring opportunities. Challenging layout with a variety of hole layouts and subtle dangers. Would definitely recommend this course to friends.

What a pleasant surprise!

The friendly staff welcomed us and had us on our way quickly. Despite the wet conditions the course was very playable. (I played it down and never had an issue with my lies.). Greens were fast and true. The layout required working the ball off the tees and into the greens. First time I’ve ever seen a greenside hazard consisting of a half-acre of exposed flat rock, fortunately tilted toward the green complex! An exceptional value and interesting story about the history of the course. Will look forward to an early return!

Good hill country course

The gentleman in the Proshop was very polite and helpful. The course is in good shape for winter and greens are rolling pure. Several holes were wet and 9 reduced to a par 3, a little disappointing but overall not bad. The wind always seams to blow at Lighthouses especially on the back 9. We played a golf now round which is reasonable. The daily rates seam to be rising and not enviting, $ 37 for a senior on this course is a little steep. Pace of play was okay with some wait. We did play thru a 3 some on 8 overall for our 4 some 4.5 hours.

Always a good time

Have played this course many times and have to say it is better every time we play it. Although it's winter in the hill country, the course is in great shape. The personnel continue to improve every time we return. We don't live here so are only able to play it once a month. But we rarely miss a chance to play here. You will not be dissappointed!

Best Value In The Hill Country

Play course once a year as part of Austin' First Tee Players Book and then a couple of other times of the year because just love the course.

The course is a lovely setting using the natural terrain. Greens are fast, but true. Some interesting holes without being gimmicky.

You call this a Country Club

While the golf course was OK, it needed many updates, to call this a Country Club is a stretch. This is merely a golf course. There are no amenities to qualify as anything more. Talking with a few locals, seems the owners do not want to spend any money to update and create a true country club. I have seen city municipals with more amenities...I feel for the folks who have this as a home venue..... Don’t show up needing anything like a drink or something from a non-existent pro shop. Bring your own drinks and eats or starve!!! I guess I am spoiled and think a country club is a place for friends to gather before and after a round. Most golf course restaurants/bars make good money. These owners can’t be bothered!

Could not disagree more with this review. We routinely drive from Austin(I am a “country club” member in Austin) and this course is always in great shape. Yes, there are times on every course when maintenance must be done. My advice is do what I have done everywhere I make a tee time, ASK if anything is going on like maintenance or tourneys. This place blows away most “clubs” staff &owners are great.

Interesting to read this review. I totally disagree with your assessment of this COUNTRY CLUB. Every time I have been to this course the snack bar is fully stocked with hot dogs, chips, candy drinks, all kinds of beer, etc. When it comes to renovations the owners have put millions of dollars into the course. You should do your research and look at before pictures and the layout of this course prior to their ownership. Golf courses have scheduled maintenance that must be done and at the time you were there aerification had been done several days before, hence the course was probably not in pristine conditions and discounted prices were given. This course is known as a hidden gem in the Hill Country and people constantly rave about this Country club and the amazing golf course. In my experience almost all of the employees that work at this course are very friendly people.

Nice course. Clubhouse staff seemed to be on a power trip

I booked a 10:30 hotdeal on a Thursday. We got there 30 minutes early and checked in and asked if we might be able to get out early and we were told no as it was part of the early bird deal and we would be paired up with the other twosome who booked the hot deal. So we sat for 30 minutes with no one teeing off. It did not make any sense other than they wanted to punish us for booking a cheaper tee time.

The course is a nice layout and the greens are quick. We are here on vacation and would play the course again but hope someone else is working in the clubhouse.

You could not find a course in better condition. The greens are unbelievable and the fairways are nearly as good. Play is fairly light so tee times are available and the pace of play is great.

Lighthouse

A beautiful course and layout. The fairways were in excellent condition as were the greens and tee boxes. The greens were lighting fast but perfectly manicured. The only fault I might find was with the sand traps. They were so compacted it was like crushed granite.

Thank you

Played here a few weeks ago, so wasn't planning to do another review, but I wanted to give a shout-out to the pro shop attendant. Seems my GolfNow reservation didn't show up, And, as luck would have it, my tablet with the confirmations was stone dead. But the guy straightened everything out for me and I was on my way. Really appreciate it.

Course is in great shape for how dry it's been. Was absolutely stunned to see the water gone at 16th hole.
