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.

Great course and well maintained

The course is in a pristine condition despite the heavy rain from the last few days.
I played from the Blues and it seemed a little bit short although due to the wind, it was challenging.

The fairways were perfect. Rough is sort of easy’ish as it isn’t thick or long.
Greens are easy to read without much “movement”

I’ll definitely come back soon.

Course in good shape overall

Nice course, greens in good shape, tee boxes not so much, looked like they scalped them possibly for cooler weather months.
Rain previous day forced many cart path only holes, which was totally unnecessary on most of them. Maybe parts of two holes needed to be avoided, but I do understand the need to prevent carts when fairways are too wet.
This caused a longer pace of play, but overall was able to play in four hours.
