Impeccable conditions

Very reliable conditions year round of the many in Austin. Greens are perfection, great back nine, sand traps are top five in town and it’s a really score -friendly, fun course. Value used to be outstanding with the all you can + buffet breakfast / lunch but that’s gone and it’s still $90. Bottom line: the golf is good so I’ll keep coming back a few of times a year for sure.

Nice Course

Layout allows variety of tees to make course as easy or challenging as you like. Great conditions, only issue was pace of play a little slow and no real effort to speed it up. Group in front usually had an entire hole open on the front nine. 4:20 round not too bad but weekday afternoon expect 4 hours or less.

Course is in impeccable shape!

Love the over-seeded fairways. Not one blemish or dead spot on any of the greens which is rare around here with the lack of rain we’ve had. Even the top courses in the area have a few dead spots, not Star Ranch! I’ve always loved this course & now it’s even more lovable! Everyone on their Maintenace and guest services staff deserves a healthy raise! Amazing job!!

NIce Course

Good layout and value for round when using Hot Deals.
Pace of play was only negative. Not bad but a little over 4 hours. One group was holding up 3 groups but rangers don't really do anything if the group is "on-time".
Maybe shoot for 3:45 round and then hustle them along.

Great condition

The greens are in great shape and the rolling fairways are so lush and well kept. I get a links style of golf and the back nine is really pretty. Some very gettable holes with everything playing nicely in front of you. Not too many blind shots. Highly recommend.

Greens in great shape, good pace of play

The greens were rolling great, and we played in 4 hours and 10 minutes as a fivesome. We got stuck on the highway due to a bad accident, and they were accommodating to help shift some tee times around and let us play as a fivesome so we could still play. It's a shorter course so if you are a longer hitter I would recommend playing from the tips so you don't have a wedge in on every hole. I play here a couple times per year and it's always in good shape and good pace of play even when busy.
