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 conditions!

You can definitely tell the course has a new superintendent. The greens were a little slower than normal, but the overall course was extremely enjoyable.

The worst pace of play I have ever seen

I have attempted to play this course a few times and have never been able to play all 18 holes before getting frustrated because of the EXTREMELY slow pace and rudeness of players. Fivesomes every where and groups refuse to let anyone play through. There were 7 groups on one hole waiting to hit. The course itself is decent but staff do nothing to speed up players. Would not recommend this course unless you enjoy waiting 10 minutes between shots.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With an uncharacteristically full day, we work hard to accommodate everyone who visits our course and allow our guest the chance to complete their rounds. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing The Golf Club At Star Fort. We hope to see you again soon.

The Fort

Course was in great condition. The greens rolled very smoothly and the fairway were very good. The only issue was the group of five holding up play.

Great golf in 96

Course is in excellent condition. Pace of play was very slow with many groups of 5 out on the course. Beverage cart riding around was very enjoyable on such a hot day. Will definitely return in the future.

In great shape

Course is in great shape. Pace of play was slow today due to a 4some that must have been playing for high stakes. Not the establishments fault though. Some players were running carts close to the greens and on par 3s off the cart paths. Again not the establishments fault. Some players need to show more respect for the course and other players.
Love the course and staff.

First Time Playing

It was slow due to a group of 7 players playing together. There was no ranger. It was a twosome in front of us. And I was playing as a twosome. We followed them from the first tee box, it wasn't until the eighth Tee box tha they allowed the two twosome to play through....

Rain out

Unfortunately it started raining a little to hard to play. Never hit a ball.
1st time I’ve ever paid to play and never hit a ball.☹️☹️☹️
Value for the money at 1 star because I didn’t get to play. Couldn’t put anything else since I pretty much gave the money away.
