I've been playing this course for a few years now and the greens are in the best shape I've ever seen them. The fairways and all but maybe one or two tee boxes were also in pretty good shape! I thought the price was a good value for the course. Shop staff was very friendly and made us aware (before booking our tee time) that there was a fairly large group playing ahead of our twosome. I appreciated her telling us this, so we just took our time and had a great round. If you haven't played this course lately, give it another try!

Hey guys, I am breaking away from my usual restaurant motif to tell you about my golf round today…read more I'm going to be as balanced, fact based and non-bias as usual. I would like to start off by saying it's an absolutely beautiful course. The people in the pro shop were very nice and helpful. I feel the course is ran well and you can tell they are working on maintanence improvements. I do not recommend playing this course if you shoot over a 10 handycap. You will lose a bunch of balls and be frustrated most the round. This is not meant as a criticism. Its a precision and target play golf on almost every hole. Most holes are tight, and many have funky ( but fun) lay outs for more advanced players. Be sure to look at the course prior to coming. The fairways, greens and tee boxes were in great shape. The carts had a real nice GPS system that gave you precision location and distances, and can keep your score electronically. Very cool. I will go over what I consider the main issues we had while playing and why I am giving the the course a 2 out of 5 stars. Its a fair ranking considering the cost of the course with 3 holes (2 greens under repair) and the level of stress we were put under by the technology in the cart constantly "doorbell" ringing reminders and being asked to speed up by course ranger (he was nice and professional, but was wrong to ask us to speed up). My friends and I get together once a year to have some fun and relax. We are okay players, not precision players and have played hundreds of courses. We know good course conduct and pace rules. We were playing to a 3.5 hour pace (avg 11.3 minutes per hole) on hole 9 when the ranger showed up and asked us to speed up because we have 4 groups behind us. First of all, we were playing faster than standard pace, we should not have been asked to speed up. Secondly, the 2 groups behind us were "two-somes", who had not come up on us once in the first 8 holes. We were not slowing the course down, but sure felt like after the warning. The ranger was nice, but the situation made us play even faster, which created a not so fun time for us. I could tell my friends were stressed after being engaged by the ranger. The doorbell warning that rings during every hole to remind us about cart path rules was distracting and very irritating. The geofencing reminders makes the doorbell reminders unnecessary. The "rings" create a level of stress that makes the round feel rushed. As a thought, maybe have the doorbell ring when there is a water hole, bathroom coming up or if you are on hole 9, a reminder to call ahead and order food to speed up the turn. In summary, we ended the round in under 3.5 hours, we were unnecessarily rushed on a hard course for our level of play (but were keeping a better than average pace). We paid full price when 2 of the greens were under construction and we were not told. However, I do recommend this course for a better player. It's very nice, the staff was great and the GPS technologies are really cool. The group agreed we would like to come back and try it again now that we know what to expect.

My sister arranged a tee…read moretime for us at Star Hill and I was pretty excited as I hadn't played Star Hill since I was 18 years old, 50 years ago. Having read the poor reviews from years past I felt I had to report on what playing this course is like from the 2025 perspective, here's what I observed today: A staff that goes the extra mile to ensure your Star Hill experience met standard, your standards. Professional, friendly, well managed pro shop. The course was in great shape, none of the issues addressed in previous posts, well maintained fairways and greens. The tee boxes are scaled to meet the needs of all, from the scratch player to the hacker. But there is something else that was taking place at this golf club, something that I have never before witnessed at any course, all over the world, at any time: Community! As we made the turn, there was a group of about 20 men, obviously a mens league, about to tee off on the first tee box. These men genuinely enjoyed each others company and were looking forward to a great time. Left an impression, but here was the clincher: As we were heading down the 18th fairway towards the clubhouse, we could see the driving range; it was packed with high school age kid. As we finished our ro and proceeded to the parking lot, it was full of players from all age groups, young and old, male and female, and they were having so much fun. We saw young kids pushing their carts with moms and dads. The high schoolers were heading to their designated tee boxes for some sort of competition. Seniors were organizing for something on the course. Congratulations Star Hill! There are golf clubs out there that boast of many things, but you, you have what every course dreams of; you have community. That can only be attributed to one thing: a well managed organization. I'm sure I only scratched the surface.

It's laid out has 3 9-hole courses, you may start on hole 10 and end on hole 27. The Sands course has sand in some areas that are not sand traps. The fairways are long & wide. They are doing green repairs on hole 13, so you have a temporary green. Unfortunately, they seem to be struggling with most of the greens. They are in rough shape. The Whiskey Bravo bar/ restaurant is nice and many locals seem to enjoy lunch or drinks on the patio. They have the drink/ snack cart roaming the course. Perfect course for a friendly game.

Inside had an approx. 20 lane bowling alley and a large selection of modern day video games ( including VR types). I say "modern day" since you won't find any classics like Pac-Mac or Donkey Kong. I didn't see pinball either but there might have been. No coins or tokens here. Load up a player's card with $, and each game is $1-4. Gain points on your card as you play and cash them in for prizes at the counter. I see they do run specials depending on the day of the week. IMO a great place.
