Rough day for a great course

Range is closed on Wednesdays from 12-2pm so don’t get your money’s worth on the tee time with balls included. Great practice facilities but the menu at the shop is limited.

They did some random pesticide spraying and made everything cart path only for the whole back 8 and it slowed everything down so bad.

Other than that it’s a great place and great time and will always love Star. Just wish they were more helpful when they don’t provide a great experience.

Nice course but starter is not overly friendly

We play this course regularly and would more often if were a little less expensive. Paying $88.00 ($79.00 + tax and golfnow fee) is pretty high for that course. That said, it's very well maintained and has one of the best practice facilities in the entire Austin metroplex. The pro shop guys are just a bit stuffy. Not rude but also not overly friendly. The starter is, well...if you can't say ANYTHING nice and we'll let it go at that. Fairly easy course, with wide fairways and large greens. Pace of play was ok, and the marshall was out making his rounds to keep things moving. Beverage cart and food cart (two separate carts) came around often and both ladies were very friendly. We'll play it again but sure wish the price was in the $60 range for seniors during the week.

Good experience

Everything good except being makers were too hard. Also, didn’t get to warmup as they closed the range for two hours in the middle of the day. Overall, a good day.

#1 public course in Austin

Def my fave course in Austin for the price, always great conditions…very wide open/easier course yet still will test some of the low handicappers. Great practice area and golf carts have also been upgraded. If you’re looking for the best conditioned public course in Austin come play Star!!

Best around by far

Rob and his staff continue to amaze. Course is always 10x than the rest. Unfortunately it’s gotten pretty $$. Guess you get what you pay for.

Best public course in Austin area

Have tried 10 or so public courses since moving to Austin. Star Ranch is by far the best. Kissing tree is #2. Falconhead is by far the worst, dont waste your money there.
