The Golf Club Star Ranch
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
Great track
One of the best on the north side. Always challenging with risk rewards and the greens are always nice
Wonderful condition
The course was in great condition despite the recent dry weather. Greens were exceptional. Great value.
Drizzly Sunday at Star Ranch
The course was in good condition, but the weather was a tad unfavorable. Large driving range as well as putting and chipping areas. Would like to play this course when the weather was nice. Fairly tough for a mediocre golfer like myself, but the course itself isn't overly challenging.
Great Course
Great course!
The overall look and feel was fantastic. Tee boxes were green and lush. Fairways were a little brown but its winter golf. They were lush with enough grass to take a nice divot. Greens were phenomenal for this time of year. Roll was pure and straight. Even the said traps were nice. I purchased a tee time at 2 pm for $28. Really good deal and looking to go back soon!
Holes 14 had a sprinkler stay on an was a bit flooded but the the hole is smiple to play around it.
Valentine's round
Took my girlfriend to play at Star Ranch for the 1st time. Very good round - the holes were challenging enough for me but not daunting for her.
Monday golf outing
Star Ranch is a great course for the money. Traps had a lot of new fluffy sand that was very inconsistent in depth.
Open area and windy
A great course in NW Austin area. Green condition is amongst the best in the area during winter time - you can actually see green grass. Players were nice and allow you to play pass them as I was play solo and wasting no time to catch next birdie :)
very nice course
I really enjoyed playing this course. The real challenge is finding your ball if you get off the fairway though.
Excellent course
Overall this is a great course. The weather was great but the wind picked up on the back nine. Enjoyed our round and I am looking forward to the next time I can play there.
$75: 36 holes & lunch
Paid $75 at 10AM but was able to get my money's worth by playing 36 holes - we barely finished - and the lunch that is baked into the price is pretty awesome. Lots of options, buffet style. Course was fun and long - some of the green were choppy but mostly because people don't fix there marks on the green. Overall, awesome day and awesome course.
Conditions are better.......but still needs time.
First time back since course re-opened. Pace of play was great. Fairways and greens much better. However some fairways already starting to dry out. Some greens were recently treated and not mowed......were spikey and somewhat slow. Still have areas in rough with no grass and cracked dirt. Not currently worth the prime green fees being advertised.....discounted rates might be in line until conditions improve. I like the course and it's a good layout, but just needs more time.
Nice Course, Needs Attention To Details
Several areas of the course were overly saturated, but not from rain. Bunker with 4" of standing water; boggy spots that swallowed balls. Numerous fairways where animals had uprooted the grass. Most all greens and tee-boxes were in good shape.
Course was great - Golf Now price was no good
If I had booked direct it would have been cheaper plus lunch included. I booked through Golf Now and it cost more and no lunch included - not a very good deal
great shape
nice place to play, pricey unless using Golfnow and promo, will play here again!!!!!!!!!
Fun course, good condition, terrible pace
Star Ranch is consistently in pretty good shape, and the layout is fun and not overly challenging. The value is pretty good with the all-inclusive buffet breakfast and lunch. However I can't recommend Star Ranch as highly as other courses in the Austin area due to the pace of play. We had a pretty early tee time because we knew it stacked up here on the weekends, but the people who run it made sure we had a nearly 5 hour round by starting groups on both 1 and 10, and the marshals didn't say a thing about the slow pace of the groups in front of us. I feel sorry for the groups who went off mid-morning. They may still be out there as I write this at 7:00pm.
Nice course and wide open fairways
It is always in good shape and easy to get to. It is a very easy course to play with huge landing zone and greens, and the bunkers are usually ok to play out of. I will go back and play again.
Great Day on Course
My buddy and I played 18 and hit from the back tees.for the first time. This was really a different experience but a fun one.We actually did very, very well considering the distances. This day was overcast and the weather in the 70s and was just absolutely wonderful. The greens had recently been aerated and were sandy, which made the ball do "tricky" movements but overall we had much fun.
Star Ranch
Very friendly staff. Course was in excellent condition.
Hot deal was a super bargain.
Great course. Bunkers set up course well. Great condition. Only thing that kept it a four star rating was the bunkers. They were not in good shape. Overall a super course.
Sunday Star Ranch
Course in good shape, pretty slow pace, had to wait frequently. Overall a good deal.
