Amazing

For a public course, pretty well maintained. Tee boxes on from 9 were incredibly hard…broke 3 tees trying to tee up various holes.

Would strongly recommend…my problem is I live to far away to come and play here more often.

Wow

First time playing course, and I was blown away…beautiful course, pace of play sufficient. For a public course, maintenance was incredible.

Only negative I have is the tee boxes were rock hard, especially on front 9…if playing, be aware will probably snap some tees trying to tee it up.

Unfortunately I live about 35 miles away, so won’t play here much, but will get back!

Good Basic Golf Course

Played here because it was close to condo and course wasn’t very busy. Course was in good shape and kind of winds through homes. Not a hard or difficult course. Dollar wise probably not worth the $175 price tag compared to others that are $230. However, if you haven’t played for awhile, a good course for a warm up. They also have a another nine hole course if you want to practice.

Starfire golf course

Course was in great shape. Tee boxes are a bit hard for sinking tees into the ground. Fairways are a bit tight but not impossible. Played as a three-some on a Tuesday afternoon around 3:00 pm and we never waited on a group in front of us nor were we pushed by any groups behind us. Very enjoyable late February afternoon of golf.
