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
Well maintained course
I’ve golfed this course several times. Always well maintained with a nice layout. Not an exceptionally tight course and somewhat forgiving. Beautiful greens and great bunkers
Great course, definitely recommend
Tee box’s, greens, and fairways were in amazing shape. Course design was wide open with elevation changes. Also, tee time came with free lunch buffet. Strongly recommend playing.
Enjoyable round
Always enjoy this course. Staff is friendly and the course is in good shape.
Relaxing Round of Golf
My husband and I played with 2 other guys and they were very polite and overall we had a great time.
The best place to play
I have over the years played every course north of the river in Austin. I keep coming back to Star Ranch for three reasons.
One. Value. Beautiful course, breakfast, lunch and another 18 holes all for 80 bucks.
Two. Course conditions. Always in top shape. True greens and beautiful fairways.
Three. The Staff. Everyone is super proficient at their jobs. From check in, the starter and the course marshals. Pace of play is monitored closely and slow players are politely asked to speed up.
Not surprising when you call Friday for a Saturday tee time they are all sold out.
Make the time and call earlier than you are used to.
Amazing day!!
What a golf course and facility!! Breakfast, cart, range ball and lunch included!! Great staff and members. Fantastic conditions!! Highly recommend!! I’ll be back!!
Conditions
Amazing condition for September in Austin
Great service
Golf shop gave us a discount once they saw one player was a junior golfer
Food included is really a nice touch
Great practice facilities
Very impressed
Good value
Practice facility is very nice. Unfortunately the speed of the greens on the course are much slower than the practice green.
Playing Star Ranch is a Pleasure
Always a pleasure to play Star Ranch. The course conditions are always the best in the area. Hot today so play was light. Finished in under 3,1/2 hours and never had to wait.
Very Playable Course & All day golf
I play Star often and its always one of the go to course because of the week All Inclusive package on weekends. You pay your $80 and you get breakfast and lunch buffet, and you playbacks if they have availability in the afternoon. If you're looking for a full day of golf, $80 gets you just and and 2 meals. It's also a very playable course for all levels. The only downfall of this course is that it can play slow at times because is it popular for all levels.
Nice greens!
Great greens and fairways but no yardage markers on sprinkler heads or 150 yard zebra post which was kinda frustrating. Like Orville Moody used to say, "I gotta download a yardage app!"
Tee time complaint
I booked my tee time for 10:32am and showed the staff my email confirmation time/number. They had no tee time for me at that time and told me they could get me in at 10:45am. Completely ruined my experience and my guests. Completely unprofessional by golfnow and their booking. How can you offer tee times that don’t coordinate with the golf course?!?!?! I want a complete refund. Absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had golfing.
Hidden Gem
One of the best tracks in the ATX area. Great layout, great condition and great value! Tee to green is as good as any course in Austin and although the greens are in great shape, would love to see them roll a little faster.
Not Impressed
Not very friendly at check in. Kept telling me that I could not have signed up as a single player? Slight drizzle but club house had no rain gear for sale, no jackets, no umbrellas. Cart was soaking wet so I went to the men's room to get paper towels to dry seat.
