Always a good time
Love this course. Every hole different. Challenging. Beautiful and fun!
course conditions
several holes were cart path only course due to all of the rain driving range closed course not well marked for distances
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.
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.
Excellent course!
Excellent course!
Beautifully manicured course with no rush and no wait.
Challenging greens with multiple challenges throughout. Really enjoyed our time!
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.
Fantastic course
Have been coming out from Austin to play this course since 2012.
Does not matter the time of year, this course is always in great shape. And the scenic veiws are tops.
Definately worth the drive !!!
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.
None better in the Hill Country
All around best public in the Hill Country. great conditions, lacks good amenities though.
Good muni.
Do yourself a favor, go play this course. One of the best in this part of the state.
Great to be back
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.
Great golf
The tee box was in great shape , my boy played the tips, I played the forward,. Fairways were in great shape, the cart was clean and had card on it
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.
Thank you for playing Lighthouse Country Club! We're glad to hear how much you enjoy playing our challenging and fun golf course. Come back soon!
