Great golf Experience

The course was in great shape and the greens were rolling at a good speed. The pace of play for mid afternoon was good. Overall, it was
a nice experience playing at Starfire.

Excellent Condition

I played in a tournament today and the course was in fabulous condition. It had some excellent holes including 4 par threes over water. I would recommend this course to any group looking to play a tournament no matter the size of the group.

Starfire GC

Course was in very good condition, however, the tee boxes were hard making it difficult to place tees. Would have been nice if the range and pro shop were open a bit earlier than half an hour before the early ted times. Not enough time for a good warm up. Had to rush it. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great course to play.

Slow day at Starfire

We have played Starfire many times and really enjoy the overall experience. Unfortunately, today our tee time placed us behind a tournamen of some sortt. So we had a five-hour round.
Did our best to appreciate the course and the weather but waiting at the tee so long on every hole did not help my score! No rhythm to this round. But stuff happens. Other than pace of play it was a wonderful afternoon.

Thank you for playing Starfire Golf Club and thank you for your patience and understanding.
We take speed of play seriously and make sure our course marshals and starters are continually working with our golfers on their pace. It looks as though we missed an opportunity with an outside golf event, We will continue to improve.
We hope to have you back for a better Starfire experience again soon.

One of the best rounds I’ve had in a long time. Staff was over the top friendly and the marshals actually dealt with the slow play. Course was in great shape, good combination of challenging and friendly. Highly recommended.

Thank you for playing Starfire and thank you for the review. Our maintenance team has a plan in place starting this month and through the summer to loosen those tee complexes up to make them more "tee receptive." We look forward to having you back out to experience the improvements. Travis Fish, Director of Golf

Thank you for playing Starfire and thank you for the well thought out review.
Our maintenance team recognizes that our newly soded tees need to be aerified to loosen them up a bit. We have that scheduled this month and will continue through the summer.
We hope to have you back again soon to see the improvements.

Starfire for 2nd time

Played course again, played with wife and brought guest from out of town . He absolutely loved the course, couldn’t stop talking about it! He said “no way this is a public course”

Got around in just over 4 hours…had to wait pretty much every hole…think time was like 4:10.

Well kept course…would definitely play again!

Very Slow Play

Was a very slow round… quit after 9 holes due to back up!! Not worth $150/player for 9 holes.
Disappointing!! Had a large bachelor party group that were combining groups. Not right!
