Very Disappointed
The place must going through financial trouble…and it shows
I have many ties prior and had nothing but good things to say.
But this only played 5 holes and gave up…35 mins per hole … and the greens were a disaster
Too bad. I will never play there again

Cute course, ugly greens
Challenging course which rewards accuracy over distance. Fairways were a little dry and thus the ball would roll for days Greens were in tough shape.

Delayed ; yet, worth the wait!
Lightning delayed our T-off…. Yet, owner Rick Howe was more than generous with a cup of coffee and plenty of enjoyable stories.
The course layout is challenging, and enjoyable reflecting the hill country of Texas.
Once the greens come back from winter, the course will be an even better experience and bang for the buck.
Hello, Thank you for visiting us. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Great value and a fun, challenging course
I think this is one of the best kept secrets in the Hill Country. If we actually get some rain, then this will easily be the best value out there. Everyone does need to understand that conditions arent going to be great in a transitional time of the year or during a drought. If you catch it at the right time, you wont be disappointed.
Thank you for your review, We will pass along your positive experience to our team. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Probably a nice course 30 years ago
50 bucks on a Saturday. Not worth. If your competitive/low handicap it was an awful course. Most holes you hit into either a dog leg or the fairway is on a crest so you can't see where the green is located. My main issue was it was a total guess where to hit your ball off the tee almost every time. The score card with hole illustrations were wildly misleading. Half the greens were concrete gray sandy dumpsterfires. If your in Austin and felt like taking a day trip to play a random course an hour away...don't play this one. Staff was super nice, locals seemed friendly.

Awesome course!
Greens obviously took a hit from the freeze so they were a bit chewed. But still rolled great. Layout is really fun and different.it’s tight ,strategic and a little quirky on some holes. But loved what they did with the space. Definitely hard to know where to hit your first time out there. But really fun. Truly magical with all the blue bonnets out lining the fairways. They do let out large groups though. 7 person bachelor party we saw at 8 when we were putting at 2 ended up being stuck behind them at 17 and 18 somehow. Must have been over 7 hour round for them lol. 6some behind us but were local and all had their own carts. They were just as quick as the 3 of us so not bad. Looks like slow groups let everyone play through. Staff was awesome. Range was decent was really happy to see it was matless . Cant wait to go back when the greens get nicer. Definitely bring a range finder. The par 5 surrounded by red rocks and blue bonnets truly felt like a dream
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.

Great Track for the $$
Great course for the $$, pace of play during the week is perfect, 3 hrs.
The greens are stupid fast, no overseeding here.
Busy every weekend.

Seen better days
Unfortunately the greens are in terrible shape. Ive seen this course in fantastic shape but it will take a while to recover. The pace was 5 hours plus.

Good value for your money
Played in February- friendly staff, gas powered golf carts, fun layout - lots of water and sand. Greens in good shape - hard
Pace of play was good - if you are looking for a fun 3:30 hr course - Lighthouse delivers

Great layout
Have played this course for years! Wonderful location and layout! Seems to always be improving! Was an unusually quiet Saturday! Last time we played the place was crawling with players! This trip was pretty much the opposite. Maybe the $50 rate was a stretch for this type of course amenities. We have enjoyed it for much less but pretty much everything else in the world has gone up so why not tee times at Lighthouse. We will return!
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Lighthouse Country Club.
Nice course but desperately needs water.
Sadly, this course is suffering due to lack of water. Greens are so fast as to be extremely difficult. Dead patches in fairways and on tee boxes, too. Pray for rain.

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
