Lighthouse Country Club

Beautiful day on a beautiful course. Last day of 2023 and warm sunny and breezy. Was not too busy and as a solo golfer I was able to play with a wonderful father and daughter on the back nine. Always a warm and friendly staff and a challenging course. Recommend this course to everyone.

All regular greens back in use. 3-4 are still a bit rough but puttable. Rest are fair-good. Fairways etc. still in great shape. I’m recommending to our group that plays all over to put this course back in the “rotation.”
The young fella taking care of the carts was very friendly.

Good course if you are close to. Not worth it to make a drive out there. Good value, fun layout and decent conditions, but not worth driving super far for.

i phoned to ask condition of greens and told they were good. i thought some of them were very poor especially around the edges of the greens. they were quite fast. i would not play again until greens are sorted out. delaware springs is nicer.

Course was in good condition save for a couple greens, however seems like the staff is working on many improvements.

Course is in good shape and on its way to great shape. Just need to keep doing what they are doing and it will be a super nice course.

I love this course. Personally, I think it has the best layout in the whole Austin area, and the pro shop and starter are the nicest people you'll meet at a course. It's an excellent value for the price. Small range, but has alot of chipping areas. Although there are 6 temporary greens, the course is still very playable. For a hot, Texas summer, the conditions are still pretty darn good. I can't wait to play it again when those greens do heal.

4 or 5 temporary greens. Several greens had missing grass. All the boxes and most fairways where good. But all courses are hurting on the greens right now. Of the greens that are not temp they were excellent.

Great course to play with several ponds, great pack saddle views and great fairways. Grenns are being worked on to get inline with the rest of the course.

I like Lighthouse CC. I enjoy the course layout a lot and have a lot of fun playing there. The holes are interesting and while the conditions could be better, for the price, it's usually worth the drive.
Usually.
I was very disappointed when, after an hour and a half drive to the course, I discovered they had six greens closed due to weather damage from December.
I'm the first to admit I'm no turf grass specialist or course superintendent, but it's hard to believe you can't get grass to grow in Texas nearly 8 months after it died.
Setting that aside, why wouldn't you put that in your course description on GolfNow? Or put some sort of alert in the reservation system to let people know? (Yes, I have mentioned this to GolfNow, so I'm not only blaming the course.)
It was exceedingly frustrating to drive all the way out there only to discover a third of the greens were closed.
Beyond all that, the pace of play yesterday was atrocious. Where were the course marshals? My son and I walked the front nine and still had to wait on every tee shot and every approach for a two-some in a cart in front of us.
Honestly, I'm not entirely sure I'll be back since I'm moving even further away and driving two hours to discover I'm not playing the course as intended would be intolerable. It's a shame, though, because I genuinely do like the course.

Just a shame you went from such a great course to mediocre at best. Can t get any of my many golfers to return.

Admittedly they advertise they have a few temporary greens (about 4 or 5), but the non temporary greens are in poor shape.

Staff were great. There Was a mix up where golf now should not have allowed me to book as the course was closed to host a private tournament, but because we had driven 3 1/2 hours and had pre payed they let us play anyway. Despite the tournament, it was only a 4 hour round.

Course is really shaping up. A lot of greens repair is underway and I love that the owner is taking care to provide golfers with a good putting surface. Looking forward to the next several weeks when the course should be in great shape.
