Pleasantly Surprised

Quick Guy trip to Austin. Decided to play two courses we have not played before. Was concerned about the 1.5 hour drive from Austin to Kingsland , Tx to play Lighthouse CC but was pleasantly surprised and not disappointed. Overall good shape and pace of play was good. If you’re in Austin and have the time, it’s worth the drive for $65, and beautiful area with great views .

Terrific Hill Country Golf Course

Lighthouse is a special treat to play. Very interesting holes and layout - staff are fantastic - new golf carts - greens a bit bumpy but that adds to the fun of playing the course - water available on the course - some fairly challenging holes - always a lot of waterfowl to see when playing - great pace of play. Hidden gem really. Highly recommend.

Pretty Golf Course

I hidden gem nestled around the granite terrain, plenty of water and sand traps! Not for the beginner but a great course to improve your golf game.

Good challenge on your game

Nice layout and demand for target golf to score well. The greens were slower than I’m used to playing, but with the weather and little rain the course was in good shape. I’ll definitely go back during the summer and see how much faster it plays.

Decent shape, very slow pace of play

I’ve played here a handful of times now, it’s a fun track. It’s in decent shape right now, I would imagine in the next month it’ll be in great shape. Most of the greens were ok, but tee to green it’s very much like a goat track.

What makes it 3 stars…the members. EVERY single time I encounter someone with their own golf cart (that obviously lives there) they are rude. They act like they’re members at some high end club and they look at you like “what are you doing on MY golf course?” And don’t even think about trying to play through, because that’s not happening.

I play here only when I can get like a $20 round and for that reason alone it’s worth it, but I can’t see playing here for more than $25 tops. And fingers crossed you don’t have to interact with the snooty locals, but if you do, remind them that this isn’t a high end private club. Lol

Hidden gem

Winter conditions left the course a little less green. But overall this course is very well maintained. The greens were a challenge but fair and in great shape. I wish Lightjouse was closer to my house.

Solid Experience

Couse was in solid condition, greens, fairways, tee boxes were good. Bunkers were wet, but so was the whole course so you can't blame 'em for that. Staff was friendly, if a bit hard of hearing. Course design is great, especially holes 4-7. Hole 6, a long par 5, was my favorite. There is a large area of rocks functioning as a hazard in the middle of the fairway and the green is worked well into the surrounding rock. The course design felt very professional and fun (as someone who almost exclusively plays muni courses). Wasn't a busy day so we were able to easily book a tee time and finish in under three hours. Overall a great golf experience. Recommend.

Nice Hill Country Course

The course is in good shape. The fairways were green. The greens were surprisingly fast. It’s a good course for average players because there’s not a whole lot of trouble. The rate with a cart is very reasonable.
