Seriously- get a ranger on the course

The course conditions were great but the pace of play was ridiculous. There were at least two, if not three, groups waiting on most tee boxes. And foursomes apparently were allowed to split into twosomes which made the situation even worse. The final straw was reaching the 10th tee box and a group of teenage boys were there, having been purportedly sent by the starter to play nine because “the front is backed up”. On course staff apparently needs training. I do not recommend ever playing this course on a weekend

Thank you for playing Starfire Golf Club.
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 some opportunities, and we will continue to improve.
We hope to have you back for the Starfire experience again soon.

Fun course with challenging holes that can require length occasionally and driving accuracy often.

Only complaint was the tee boxes were like cement and you needed a hammer to put in a tee and if you did get it. In, you would break it.

Amazing

For a public course, pretty well maintained. Tee boxes on from 9 were incredibly hard…broke 3 tees trying to tee up various holes.

Would strongly recommend…my problem is I live to far away to come and play here more often.

Wow

First time playing course, and I was blown away…beautiful course, pace of play sufficient. For a public course, maintenance was incredible.

Only negative I have is the tee boxes were rock hard, especially on front 9…if playing, be aware will probably snap some tees trying to tee it up.

Unfortunately I live about 35 miles away, so won’t play here much, but will get back!

Good Basic Golf Course

Played here because it was close to condo and course wasn’t very busy. Course was in good shape and kind of winds through homes. Not a hard or difficult course. Dollar wise probably not worth the $175 price tag compared to others that are $230. However, if you haven’t played for awhile, a good course for a warm up. They also have a another nine hole course if you want to practice.

Starfire golf course

Course was in great shape. Tee boxes are a bit hard for sinking tees into the ground. Fairways are a bit tight but not impossible. Played as a three-some on a Tuesday afternoon around 3:00 pm and we never waited on a group in front of us nor were we pushed by any groups behind us. Very enjoyable late February afternoon of golf.
