We drove from Austin to play this course and the only negative we had was they did not tell us when we made the reservation that they were aerating the greens resulting in us playing the front nine twice thus the negative for the staff. However the person checking us in discounted our fee. Putting was not great but not horrible either. The main thing I want to convey is this is a strategic course layout that needs to be played several times to feel comfortable on he course. Other than the aerated greens, it was in great shape and a joy to add to "out-of-town" fun courses

Proshop staff looks like they just got out of prison or may have fell off the shortbus. Never seen prison tatoos in a proshop before. I was greeted in the parking lot by the owners Rick and his wife Travis. They seem like a happy couple!

This course is now called LIGHTHOUSE COUNTRY CLUB. It was formerly known as Packsaddle, and may have carried with it throughout the years a kind of hardscrabble reputation (i.e., dry, not well-maintained, not worth the trip from the Austin area). Believe that now, and you'll be losing out on a real Hill Country gem. Interesting layout, will make you think (and think 3-wood while you're at it). Smooth greens--most of them pretty big. Subtle elevation changes. Affordable. Separate but on-premise restaurant which stays open late most of the week. Taken out of its Texas Hill Country context, it is a nice, accessible public course in really good shape. Put back into context, and given what the drought has done to even some of the better-known courses around here, it is in remarkable shape. If you're not getting out of the metro areas much, Lighthouse Country Club will feel like a vacation a world away. Come to think of it, given its proximity to Lake LBJ, weekend resorts, and water sports, that's not such a bad idea after all...

Daily gathering of good golfers around 12:30 every day who play against each other in golf pro-selective teams. Losing teams have to chip in afterwards for the bar bill.
