Starfire review

Have played here many times. Overall good experience with the exception of the pace. This was not spaced out appropriate for the players on keeping up the front 9 was three and a half hours, the back none improved two and a half hours.

Muddy

Lovely layout although the green-to-tee distances are sometimes excessive. My ball got muddy on almost every hole. Tee boxes are hard. The place needs a lot of top dressing with sand. Pace was excellent. Greens were firm and challenging.
