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
Golfer Reviews
Poor/Inconsistent Greens
I used to enjoy the challenge of this course, but they have simply lost the greens. Yesterday was, well, just awful...and others in the parking lot agreed.
Sandy Greens
Course was in good shape but if I would have known the greens were sanded then I would have played elsewhere. I don't need anymore help in adding strokes!
Great Value. Excellent Shape.
First player and was impressed with the friendly staff and course conditions. Highly recommended.
Greens are in bad shape
Played here for years and have never seen the greens this damaged. Most definitely not worth full green fee rates and should be embarrassed to charge these rates. My group and I won't be back for a long while, as the greens are in really bad shape and wil take at least a season to recover.
NA
Fair condition greens, course layout is fairly easy. Good for beginners
Green issues?
I always go to Star for the course conditions... The greens are not very good right now and disappointed when other courses greens are in better shape for a 1/3 of the cost at the weekend rate.
Fun Time/Great Course
This was the first time I had played this course w/o being in a charity tournament and had a great time. Greens were a bit fast and hard to read ( ball wouldn't break like it was supposed to, haha!) The only reason I gave 4 for Value is cuz we didn't get the lunch included with the GolfNow price! other than that, with getting a lunch with the price, ya can't beat it and the drink cart is always there.
Star ranch.
Great gofl course. Excellent condition. I would take others golfets there to play.
Star Ranch
Had great weather, the course was in good shape and pace of play was very good. The greens were running true and easy to ready...consistent hole to hole. Would recommend.
Greens were in good shape
This course was in great shape. Having played many local courses, I found the greens in better shape than most! Play forward and have a blast!
Good Value
Received a good price via Golf Now for Easter. Course in pretty good condition despite the hard winter.
Day on the Course
We enjoyed the golf plus the breakfast and lunch buffet.
Nice layout
18 holes in under 4 hrs. on a nicely designed layout on a windy day. Good conditions and staff was friendly. Generous landing areas and greens rolled true.
Course is looking GREAT!
This course is in the best shape I've ever seen it and definitely the best out of the last 7 or so courses I've played in Austin lately. The greens were immaculate! I will be back ASAP and am disappointed it took me this long to find out this course was in such great shape this year.
My only complaint if anything is the sand isn't up to par with similar priced courses. Its not awful but just not as good. Took a couple of shots to figure it out.
Star Ranch
One of my favorite courses. Always in great shape.
Great shape
Star Ranch is always a pleasure to play especially when you have a good round. The greens were in nice shape as were the fairways so early in the spring. The added value of being able to eat a breakfast and lunch buffet with your green fee is an extra bonus!
Must play course
Star Ranch is very much worth playing. The folks there are very hospitable and take pride in their facilities. Will definitely play again when in Austin area.
Dry, Ball rolls to far
Could be a really nice course but way to dry. Other than that, Very much enjoyed playing Star ranch. Got breakfast and lunch by booking directly thru course, Can't beat that. Just needs watered.
One of the best deals in North Austin area!
Course is in great shape. Staff was friendly and pace of play was spot on. The only disappointment would be the lack of readily visible yardage markers. Since they don't have GPS on their carts, which IMHO they should, given the prices charged, they should have at least well defined yardage markers. Either stripes on the cart path or more yardage poles in the fairways at 100, 150, 200 and 250. I guess i'll have to join the herd and invest in a handheld GPS. Still a great course!
Excellent practice facility and course was in fantastic shape.
The course was in fantastic shape. The starter was a very personable gentleman and worked with us as a couple of the guys playing were coming from San Antonio and were running a little late. In fact, he even took a cart up to the parking lot so they could get to the #1 tee as fast as possible. The pace of play was a little slower than we thought it should be; however, it was such a great day that it did not really matter.
