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.

Maybe just an off day.

Nice greens, nice fairways, and fluffy sand in the bunkers but some areas surrounding greens were poorly maintained. Had a 0730 tee time but the clubhouse didn't open until 0740. Kept running into workers mowing greens and holding up my pace. Won't return.

OK

The course is in good shape. Not many playing today. Cart paths are miserable and most really bad spaces we got off the cart paths. I thought the speed of greens was not consistent but they were in good condition. Traps were great.

Course in good shape

No complaints about the actual course! Weather had been hot and dry, but the course especially the greens were in great shape and rolled really well.

Cart paths are in rough shape, but other than that good experience. Will come play here again.

This course is great shape

Course is fun to play. Plenty of tees to choose from. Not an abundance of water, fairways and greens are in great shape. A good value even without using a hot deal.

Love the course, excellent value.

Star Fort is somewhat of an unknown treasure, I think. The course was in excellent shape and the greens were very true. It's is a longer course, with wide fairways. Took a friend, who is a lower handicap golfer, for his first time to Star Fort and he really liked it. My only critiques are the cart paths are in dire need of repair and the bunkers had too much sand, IMO. If your ball barely made it into the trap, you were still looking at a buried fried egg! All in all, though, a great course and a great value.

Hot Day!!

The course itself was in great shape/ everyone needs rain. The only thing is the cart paths need replaced. Lots of water provided throughout course.- 97 degrees yesterday. I’d go back.

Great out of the way course

We decided to try this course out and really enjoyed the layout. We were a foursome and a threesome slowed us down all day but besides that it was an enjoyable round of golf. Greens were in good shape and the course was challenging but not unfair.
