Rating 73.3

The Golf Club at Star Fort sits near the site of a Revolutionary battle known as the Assault at Star Fort. The golf course offers a family-friendly layout surrounded by the region's rich history. The player-friendly design is gentle enough for junior players and beginners, but it's also great for more advanced players who are looking for a quick round. It will surprise you with a few challenges too. At 6,952 yards, the golf course isn't terribly long but there are still some good driving holes. There are some interesting risk-reward par 5s and some fun par 3s that will make you think. Star Fort's final hole is a par 4 that requires accuracy over distance since you'll have to weave through two ponds before facing an uphill shot to a well bunkered green.

Great Shape

Tees were back which made play a little more difficult, but the course was in great shape. I’m looking forward to playing there again soon.

Nice layout

Nice layout but the greens were not that good. Don’t book a tee time before 8am because they don’t open before then and golf now allows you to start booking at 7am

Customer service!

To theguy who brings out the carts - you are a rock star! First thing in the morning and you bring the carts to the customer’s car. You were super nice to my young teens and you made their day.

Fun Course Terrible Course Management

The staff is amazing and friendly, this is not to bash any individuals. I’m a regular golfer here. But it’s come to the point where I can no longer support this club. Before you make a tee time, any day of the week, ensure they don’t have a group of 20-40 going off. They will hog the first tee for two hours then take up the entire course. And the individuals that play in these groups refuse to let you play through, go-ahead on the first tee, and if you happen to be in front and are slowing them down you will get hit on top of. Tee time management is terrible. You can guarantee to be waiting to hit every shot besides a putt on even semi-busy days.
Fairway and green conditions are good on most holes. Bunkers have some small pebbles but not many. The rough and particularly anywhere that’s not a fairway is abysmal. I’m willing to go as far to say that if it’s not a fairway or green zero maintenance goes into it. You can miss the green, roll off the back 20 feet , and lose your ball in an uncut rough, or a dumping pile of leaves blown off the greens.

Nice course

Greens need some work, cart paths are very bad, bunkers are not raked, other than that it is a pretty little golf course. It definitely needs some love.

Love playing this course because of the challenging layout. It's nice to putt on above average greens that stimp a little higher than most other courses nearby.

The staff were not helpful at all.

Got there at 8:50am for a 9:10 tee time. Checked in at the pro shop with no problems. Was not told that there was a tournament going on in the middle of the day. Being ingnorant to this fact we started on the 10th tee because the first was packed. Got to the turn and I was told I could not continue playing because of the tournament. No big deal. I tried to get a rain check for the last nine but was denied because I booked on Golf Now. Staff members then proceeded to tell me I should have teed off on the first tee and I could’ve continued to play as if they told me there would be a tournament later that day and I should have started on the front. First and last time I play here.
