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.

Great Texas course

It’s amazing how nice the fairways and greens are maintained at Star Ranch. You wouldn’t have known the drought and string of 105+F days had occurred. The course layout is forgiving except for the ubiquitous sand traps, but even the sand is nice since it’s resort quality and well maintained.

One of the best courses I’ve played in the Austin area

One of the best courses ive played in the area for the price. Great conditions and some of the best rolling greens I have seen so far out of the 10 courses I’ve played in my short time in Austin. The course is pretty open but still challenging with the opportunity for all levels to have fun.

Thank you staff

The staff, especially Bryce at the check in were exceptionally helpful. I made anl error in booking a hot deal so that our foursome was divided into two pairs but at two different times. This is a problem that I did not expect the pro shop to untangle- it was MY mistake. But when the other party checked in, Bryce asked them if they would mind teeing off 18 minutes later and they were fine with that arrangement. So, I want to commend Bryce and the starter for seeing this thru even though it would hav been entirely appropriate for them to just say 'sorry'

The course itself is in great shape. Fairways, greens, tee boxes- all great. Course is forgiving yet you have to do your work if you want to card a score a birdie

The practice facility is the best in town- the practice area is worth the price of admission alone
