Great day on the course

The course was in great shape with firm fairways and green. There was a good crowd at he course but the pace of play was steady for our mixed foursome.

Fine Place to Play Golf

The owner and staff have gone 100% of the way to sterilize the facilities, carts, pins, counters, etc. They are following the government and CDC guidelines for social distancing by allowing one rider per cart. I don’t know of a single thing more they could do to ensure the safety of their customers. The course is in great shape and is constantly being groomed.

A bit of a surprise I must say....

We always play here and the greens are just superb. The Hot Deal was awesome, less than $30 per player on a Sunday. You can’t beat that. But the greens were horrible to their standards. Now let’s be fair here, it’s transition time. When greens go from dormant or slightly over seeded to spring and growing season a superintendent has responsibilities to verticut and let the grass grow out and reestablish. It’s all part of getting to golf year round in Central Texas. But the greens were long, slow, and not much fun. Many of the greenside bunkers have little to no sand in them. Just grab a rake and slide one through.

The owner is as kind of a man as can be. He truly cares and wants a quality product. He made a TREMENDOUS hire in his new Director of Golf. Leaders position their employees to make decisions and improvements based on data. Hopefully he’ll allow the Director and Superintendent to collaborate and define a course of action to get things back to the quality I’m used to seeing out there.

I’ll definitely be back. It’s just a matter of when.

Picturesque

Couple of the holes (6 & 7) were very picturesque. Layout of the course was nice and can challenge you on a some shots with the trees and water. There was a tournament starting when I started play and the pro shop started me on 10 which allowed me to play at my pace. The tournament didn’t affect my pace of play. Greens rolled fast. Bunkers were hard sand and some fairways were hard pan. I recommend To get a good feel for the putting green and sand trap before starting your round.

Gem in the Hills

This may be one of the most playable and fun courses in the Hill country area. I was lucky the day I played as it was windy and cold so not too many warm weather golfers showed up. Made the round incredibly relaxing. Staff was so nice and so accommodating. The course is really unique and the greens rolled beautifully. I would give this a 4.7 out of 5 if ratings were allowed in sub #s. Only reason not 5/5 is the rough was dormant and not grown in. I will absolutely play this course again and any time!

Nice Course

First time playing Lighthouse and even with all the good reviews I was pleasantly surprised with the condition of the course, given it’s December and there have already been a few freezes. Nice layout with enough challenging holes to keep things interesting. Greens rolled true with average speed. Friendly staff. Drove in from Georgetown Cedar Park area and it was worth it especially since very few people were on course at 1030 even though it was sunny and close to 60 degrees. 67 by the time I finished in 2.5 hours. I’ll be back.

Hill Country Treat

This course continues to impress me. The greens will give you nightmares but if you keep putting on them they will make you a better putter. It was better playing the course today as they have cut back on water all around the edge of the greens. When they do water around the greens you can't hardly ever hit a "pitch and run" or the ball will plug. Its a fun course to play even with the "granite" field on number 6. Larry Stirling

View & Values

If you're an Austin metro area golfer looking for a very affordable Hill Country/Highland Lakes escape, Lighthouse Country Club would fit the bill quite nicely. It's not destination golf by any stretch of the imagination, but pricing, shot values, and current course conditions (green throughout, more of a challenge than you might think out there) should make Lighthouse worth it for the average golfer. Be sure to take in the views of Packsaddle Mountain from the back nine; if that doesn't make you grateful you golf, and that you made the trip out to Lighthouse, then you're doing "golf escape" wrong!
