The Golf Club At Star Ranch was a real treat. Recently a group of friends and I played 4 area courses in a 36 hole a day tournament, this was by far the best facility for the price.
I have played the course before in scrambles and was always pleased with the condition of the course, especially the greens. They may be the best in the area. We played one round from the blue tees and one from the black. The challenge increases dramatically. This may be as much golf course as you want given your skill set.
Even though the course was crowded the play moved along very smoothly because of the efficiency of the Marshalls. The practice facility, full bar, and gracious personnel give you the feeling of a private club. While I was there I joined the Star Players Club it is a great value.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, No Houses on Course, Staff, Clubhouse
