About this course

Packsaddle at Lighthouse Country Club occupies land along the northern shores of Lake LBJ in the Texas Hill Country, near Kingsland in Llano County. Leon Howard and Jerry Slack designed the course, which takes its name from the nearby Packsaddle Mountain, a local landmark in this part of central Texas. The routing works with the natural limestone terrain and oak-studded landscape characteristic of the Highland Lakes region, where elevation changes and rocky outcroppings shape the playing corridors. The course reflects the design sensibilities of its era and the practical considerations of building on Hill Country property, where water availability and the underlying geology influence maintenance and playability. Lake LBJ provides a scenic backdrop for several holes, and the layout incorporates views of the surrounding hills and water. The club serves a residential community and regional membership drawn to the area's recreational opportunities, including boating and fishing on the Highland Lakes chain. Lighthouse Country Club functions as a semi-private facility, offering golf alongside other amenities typical of Texas lake community clubs. The course provides a straightforward test for members and guests navigating the Hill Country terrain, with the character of play shaped by wind exposure common to elevated sites and the firm conditions that limestone-based soils can produce during dry periods. The setting appeals to those seeking golf in the scenic lake country northwest of Austin.

Getting there

Most arrivals to Lighthouse Country Club begin at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, roughly an hour's drive northwest into the Texas Hill Country. The route traces the Colorado River upstream, trading the hum of the capital for the quiet expanse of Lake LBJ, where limestone bluffs rise above the water and the air takes on the dry, cedar-scented clarity of the highlands. Kingsland itself is a small lakeside community, and the final turn onto the club grounds feels less like an arrival at a destination than a retreat into the unhurried rhythm of the Highland Lakes - a fitting threshold for one of the region's most discreet golf sanctuaries.
