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.

Best Conditioned Course

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.

Thumbs up

I have a weekend home in Kingsland and have played Lighthouse several times. The greens are in good shape and smooth & quick. Fairways are good shape and green even in July. I like the layout but prefer the front 9. I would give this course a thumbs up for a Texas Hill country venue. You do a good job keeping it in playing shape during the heat of summer.

Great local course

The course is in great shape. The grass on fairways is very playable and the greens soft enough to hold your ball when you hit them. I am astonished that they won't take a printed copy of a coupon found online. They'll only accept the coupon if it's delivered to your mailbox?? Seems pretty archaic for this digital day and age - you should be able to show the coupon on your phone and get the cheaper rate! Get with the times!!

Great condition, but...

This golf course is in excellent condition due to recent rains, and the greens are extremely fast and challenging. The scenery is beautiful and the course is very enjoyable, except that the pace of play was very slow with waits on almost every shot. Granted, we were only a twosome, but the threesome in front of us was waiting, too. On the last hole, we saw that the 2nd group in front of us was a 5-some. Who allows that on a Saturday morning?! And with no marshalling on the course whatsoever. During these dog days of summer, pace of play is very important, since we want to get our round completed as quickly as possible to get out of the heat.

Thank you for playing Lighthouse Country Club! Your positive feedback regarding the course conditions is much appreciated. As for the pace of play, we did have a marshall out there monitoring the pace and everything was moving along at a great pace for how busy we were. We understand that as a twosome it may have seemed slower though. We hope you’ll consider giving us another try in the near future.

Great Course

This is a hidden gem in the Hill Country. The fairways and green are usually impeccable and the course is challenging. The scenery is incredible and the staff is friendly. This is a country course...golf cart paths are not cement but still a great course.

Every time I come here, I wonder why it took me so long to return. I guess it's the 80-minute drive. But well worth it.

Markings

Course needs to be marked better. Only hole with a yardage marked outside of 150 is #17. No indicators of where the pins are located. A pin sheet or color coded flags would be great. Course was in fantastic shape. The greens were phenomenal and the guy in the pro shop was great.

Creative layout

Love this course. For the money they have done a great job creating interesting well designed holes. It's location makes it a must play if you are in the Horseshoe Bay area. Highly recommend it for a course in this price range.

Never disappoints

I like everything about this golf course. Staff is affable, laid back, and extremely accommodating. Course itself is always at/near peak playability for the season. Greens can be TREACHEROUSLY fast at times, so be cautious, especially early in your round. Several memorable holes. Track has quite a bit of character, absolutely worth playing more than once.

Worth the drive from Austin in my opinion, especially when it’s at/near peak condition. Would cost twice as much if it were 20 miles from ATX instead of 60.
