Terrible Pace of play

We have golfed this course three times in the past three weeks.
The latest pace of play was almost five hours, we had to wait with evert stroke.
Other rounds took 3 -3 1/2 hrs.

Great Condition

I play this course often and have always enjoyed how well maintained the course is and how well we are always treated by the staff. Plenty of challenge from the back tees but very playable for everyone from the right distance to suit your game.

The course was in great shape. The greens were very good and rolled true. It took a few holes to adjust for the firmness of the greens on the approach shots., just added to the challenge.

Excellent Condition

I played in a tournament today and the course was in fabulous condition. It had some excellent holes including 4 par threes over water. I would recommend this course to any group looking to play a tournament no matter the size of the group.

Starfire GC

Course was in very good condition, however, the tee boxes were hard making it difficult to place tees. Would have been nice if the range and pro shop were open a bit earlier than half an hour before the early ted times. Not enough time for a good warm up. Had to rush it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great course to play.

Slow day at Starfire

We have played Starfire many times and really enjoy the overall experience. Unfortunately, today our tee time placed us behind a tournamen of some sortt. So we had a five-hour round.
Did our best to appreciate the course and the weather but waiting at the tee so long on every hole did not help my score! No rhythm to this round. But stuff happens. Other than pace of play it was a wonderful afternoon.

Great experience

One of the best rounds I’ve had in a long time. Staff was over the top friendly and the marshals actually dealt with the slow play. Course was in great shape, good combination of challenging and friendly. Highly recommended.
