Always in great shape

This remains one of my favorite courses in the Austin area. I had reservations because after I booked the teetime, I heard they just aerated the greens. However, once I got there I couldn't tell. They didn't have large aeration holes and rolled as expected.
I've played here many times over the last 20 years, and have always found it in great shape. My only complaint is how high the green fees have risen.

One of the best maintained courses in the area

We keep coming back to this course because of the overall condition. The fairways and greens are excellent. The only real complaint is the sand traps. Regardless of how much rain we've gotten, there simply isn't enough sand in them and they are unplayable.

Most of the staff is really friendly and nice, although the nicest ones seem to be volunteers. A couple of the guys that run the desk can seem like they don't really care about the patrons.

Great practice facility, with excellent practice balls and plenty of chipping and putting areas.

A little rain = big problems

It had rained the day before briefly in the morning, and so they decided to close down there driving range unless you were doing a club fitting with the titliest rep. Which was annoying since there was no discount or heads up. Then cart path only the whole day when the sun was out and there was no standing water anywhere in sight. Which of course slowed down the round considerably. We got there extra early to warm up and had no way to do so. Very frustrating.

Golf course is in great shape
Greens and fairways are great!
The only problem I have is with the GPS carts. It was cart path only the day we played and the cart would stop on the cart path and request you to return to the path even though you were on the path. Very annoying! Happened many times!

Rough day for a great course

Range is closed on Wednesdays from 12-2pm so don’t get your money’s worth on the tee time with balls included. Great practice facilities but the menu at the shop is limited.

They did some random pesticide spraying and made everything cart path only for the whole back 8 and it slowed everything down so bad.

Other than that it’s a great place and great time and will always love Star. Just wish they were more helpful when they don’t provide a great experience.
