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.

Nice country course

love playing this course and it's in great shape. Only thing is the local players in the dog fight and multiple 5 somes holding things up. And when you try to go past or play around them they get upset, even though they are taking multiple putts after they hole out and park their carts in front of greens, so they then have to walk back to the cart. Other than that enjoy the round.

Off the beaten path hidden gem

Very nice course conditions and surprising for the location. Cart paths could really use some investment and repair. Overall course conditions were great from tee to green. Several Holes appeared to have cup-cutter or mower edge issues but didn’t affect quality of play. Not busy at all for Sunday am round and pace of play was quick.

Long

Other reviews talk about the cart paths being bad, which is true but this is a nice layout except the par 4s. They are just a little too long from the white tees. I think the yardage from the white tees is over 6500 yards. If you are a long hitter you should be ok. I am looking forward to playing here again after I figure my driver out.lol

Challenging course

The greens were just starting to wake up from the winter. They were rolling good.
Very nice/soft sand in the bunkers.
Great price.
Cart paths will knock a filling out. Only bad part of the course.

Good value

Good course. I live close by so I play it a good bit.
Pace is a little slow sometimes. Groups of 5 tend to do that.
All in all, course stays in pretty good condition.
Greens all roll pretty true. Not too fast, not too slow. Pretty consistent on every hole.

My only complaint with this course would be the cart paths are in rough shape. Everything else is in very good shape. Considering it had been several weeks since we had seen any rain in the area before we played the course was not baked out and greens were still soft.
