Lighthouse Country Club

First I have played and been a huge fan of lighthouse for years. We come up from Sun City Georgetown at least once or twice a month,it salways in great shape. We played Tuesday 11/23.

The greens are always pretty quick( we love that) but that day they were rock hard,couldn’t t hold a high flop shot, normal pitches rolled off the greens, putting was ridiculous. We all had 4-6 3 putts. We are all 9 handicappers. Same with the fairways,rock hard. The traps most had hard packed and little sand. On the back we set a rule,”free drop from traps”

Half way thru the back we almost left, just unreal.

Now again let me say, I have always in the past been a great fan of lighthouse. This was just not a good experience at all and all of us commented we d not be back for a long time. We ve played several courses in the area,they are not having these issues. Real disappointment.

Overall this course is so fun to play. The holes are pretty narrow so there’s a big emphasis on controlling your drive. If you’re like me and favor slicing the ball you’ll find your new habitat is the rough - and the rough at this course is… well, very rough. But the views are fantastic. After the 9th hole it seemed we were all alone and the pace was excellent, and there’s a lot of fun challenging holes. Overall, this course is a real treat to play and is worth checking out if you haven’t been before.

Worth playing. Just not if you are in a hurry on the “ jack and Jill “

I was waiting 16 mins a hole sometimes. Just check to make sure it’s not that day.

Second time around this course, really didn't remember much since its been about 6 years since I played there. Course layout is good, not real tricky except for a couple of blind tee shots, other than those the course is right in front of you. Conditions good, fairways tight, not my favorite, greens fast and smooth, didn't hit a bunker shot but playing partners commented about the thin lies. Solid course, we drove 1.5 hours to play and was glad we did.

Tee boxes are hard as rocks. Need water on them to soften and grow grass. Also most tee boxes have crown on them - need to be flattened out. Fairways are cut to short. No grass because of mowers. Stop cutting to short. When hitting your ball the club head bounces.

Best course in greater Austin area for mid week play; affordable, friendly staff, course is well maintained year round.

I have been playing this course since 1978. I live one and a half hours away, I still drive down to play as much as I can. The course is in near perfect condition. However, some weeds are starting to grow on the tee boxes. More variety of holes of any course I play.

Overall the tee boxes fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Hard to not like the condition the course is in right now.

The Lighthouse Golf Course remains the gem of the Texas Hill Country. Rick and his staff do an excellent job of ensuring great course conditions and extremely beautiful greens. With the addition of Doug, the course will continue to always be perfect!!!!

FInally, they’ve stopped mowing the fairways so close. Today the ball actually sat up on grass. Before in hot weather the ball sat down on hard pan and the club face bounced off the ground and in wet weather the club face dug in and the ball contact was poor. The course was enjoyable today. Make this course feel like a resort course with your mowing.

The staff is always great and you can't find a course that's in any better condition. I will always have great memories of Lighthouse. I've been flirting with shooting my age for three years now. I finally did it today. The condition Lighthouse is in made it possible!
