About
Hutto’s been put on the golf map now that the first-class Star Ranch has opened up on what was once a cattle ranch, boasting a unique collaborative effort from the Morrish brothers (Jay and Carter) and the Bechtol, Russell design firm.
The course sits on a hill and is built around a centralized lake, featuring the typical spectacular Hill Country topography highlighted by plush, undulating fairways and bleached white sand bunkers.
No. 2 is one of the most difficult holes and the first real challenge of your golf day. The 417-yard par 4 has more of an open feel than some of the other holes, but it’s length generally means a rather long approach, and the green is surrounded by several massive bunkers.
Getting there : From Austin, take I-35 north and exit Parmer Ln. Turn right and go east on Parmer to Dessau Rd. Turn left and go north on Dessau, which becomes FM 685. Go 5 miles past FM 1825 in Pflugerville and the club is on the left.

Not common of course, but this happened one round when the cows from the neighboring field decided the grass was greener on the other side. Photo submitted by GordonATX on 07/03/2013
Always Enjoyable
Star Ranch will always provide good layout, very fair tee shot landing areas, a little more wind then you think and a starter that gets you out on your tee time. Be On time!
Greens were the standard slightly fast and would hold approach shots fairly easily. Sand traps were being raked by Star Ranch crew while we were playing and that's always great to see....a grounds crew taking care of the course!
5 star course
Always a great round when I play at star. First off my buddy booked it the day before and we switched tee times for a later time and he got charged the full amount…which was kinda our/his fault. The staff at the pro shop only charged us half for our round to compensate. They didn’t have to do that and they go above and beyond. 2nd the course conditions are in amazing shape… very wide open fairways, and the greens role so pure. Just go and experience a true 5 star public course for the price. Forest creek jacked up their prices and star did not. They also give you free range balls which is a major plus.

Course is in great condition
Greens are great
Played in 4 hours
Impeccable conditions
Very reliable conditions year round of the many in Austin. Greens are perfection, great back nine, sand traps are top five in town and it’s a really score -friendly, fun course. Value used to be outstanding with the all you can + buffet breakfast / lunch but that’s gone and it’s still $90. Bottom line: the golf is good so I’ll keep coming back a few of times a year for sure.
Nice Course
Layout allows variety of tees to make course as easy or challenging as you like. Great conditions, only issue was pace of play a little slow and no real effort to speed it up. Group in front usually had an entire hole open on the front nine. 4:20 round not too bad but weekday afternoon expect 4 hours or less.
Course is in impeccable shape!
Love the over-seeded fairways. Not one blemish or dead spot on any of the greens which is rare around here with the lack of rain we’ve had. Even the top courses in the area have a few dead spots, not Star Ranch! I’ve always loved this course & now it’s even more lovable! Everyone on their Maintenace and guest services staff deserves a healthy raise! Amazing job!!
