Played with a few buddies this past Sunday. The course was in terrific condition, with the exception of one hole. I think it was hole 2. A marshall let us know that someone on the grounds crew may have run over a sprinkler, causing it to flood in a low area. They had that area drained and marked off within an hour or two, so no big deal. Other than that, the fairways and greens were all in fantastic shape. All of the greens were well maintained and rolled true. One of the best things about Texas Star, was the time between groups. They have a full 10min between groups, so we never felt rushed by the group behind us, and never felt slowed by the group in front of us.

Difficulty wise, Texas Star is pretty fair. I'm still a bit of a high handicapper (15 - 18), yet still had opportunities to score. The bunkers on the course are fair as well; they're placed well, so someone who is a bit less accurate like me ends up in them, but they're a bit easier to get out of which helps keep your average golfer from getting too frustrated. For your more advanced golfer, I believe there are a good amount of challenges to keep them excited. There are a good amount of blind shots, tricky water placement holes, and even some holes that could tempt the longer hitter to try for it in one.

Overall, Texas Star truly is one of the best courses I've played in this area. It is a little more expensive at $75, but in my opinion, it is well worth it for the quality of the play offered here. I'd highly recommend that you try it out if you're in the area.
