Seen better days

Unfortunately the greens are in terrible shape. Ive seen this course in fantastic shape but it will take a while to recover. The pace was 5 hours plus.

Good value for your money

Played in February- friendly staff, gas powered golf carts, fun layout - lots of water and sand. Greens in good shape - hard

Pace of play was good - if you are looking for a fun 3:30 hr course - Lighthouse delivers

Great layout

Have played this course for years! Wonderful location and layout! Seems to always be improving! Was an unusually quiet Saturday! Last time we played the place was crawling with players! This trip was pretty much the opposite. Maybe the $50 rate was a stretch for this type of course amenities. We have enjoyed it for much less but pretty much everything else in the world has gone up so why not tee times at Lighthouse. We will return!

Nice course but desperately needs water.

Sadly, this course is suffering due to lack of water. Greens are so fast as to be extremely difficult. Dead patches in fairways and on tee boxes, too. Pray for rain.

Great Layout, Poor Course Conditions

3rd time playing this course and all 3 times have the same issues:
Positives - course layout is great, views of Round Mountain and course topography excellent, staff was welcoming and friendly
Negatives - Hard as asphalt greens, no grass in fairways...well dead grass...everywhere, no cart paths to speak of creates bumpy ride, unkept tee boxes (seems the answer is just throw more sand down)
With such an awesome layout would help if the course experienced regular general maintenance and some watering every now and then.

Greens

Greens succumbed to the winter freeze. Probably each green is 80% very playable. Bad spots are being repaired. Lighthouse is still my favorite of the 14 courses we play in Central Texas.

Very Disappointed

The place must going through financial trouble…and it shows

I have many ties prior and had nothing but good things to say.

But this only played 5 holes and gave up…35 mins per hole … and the greens were a disaster

Too bad. I will never play there again

Probably a nice course 30 years ago

50 bucks on a Saturday. Not worth. If your competitive/low handicap it was an awful course. Most holes you hit into either a dog leg or the fairway is on a crest so you can't see where the green is located. My main issue was it was a total guess where to hit your ball off the tee almost every time. The score card with hole illustrations were wildly misleading. Half the greens were concrete gray sandy dumpsterfires. If your in Austin and felt like taking a day trip to play a random course an hour away...don't play this one. Staff was super nice, locals seemed friendly.

Good golf and good staff

Accommodating staff that started us on the back nine to avoid crowds on the front nine. We played a 3-hour round.
Always a good challenge and great shape.
They have only partial paved paths, but not that important for me.

Beautiful and challenging

Another great afternoon at Lighthouse. The people are so friendly and Groundskeeper Zach tracked me down to return my cell phone! What a lifesaver! I was able to start on 10 and avoid some foursomes and had the course to myself! Fantastic bang for your buck!
