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
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.
Wonderful Course - Great Condition!
From tee to green the course was in great condition, greens rolled true and the layout is tremendous. The recent rains are beginning to heal the brown spots in the fairways. This is truly a gem, great practice facility as well.
couse was well taken care of---awesome greens---staff was super friendly

One of my favorite courses. Super easy to get to - Tolls make it easy - but you can cut through the Round Rock Neighborhoods
Great course. Not crazy difficult (from the Blues), but it can go long if you can with the Golds.
Always in great shape - they let you know if they are aerated and the buffet deal is actually pretty good if you play morning golf (which gets you Breakfast and Lunch).
One of my favorite courses and i consider it just northeast Round Rock. It's kind of like an easier version of Shadowglen (in Manor), and it's very similar to Roy Kizer in Southeast Austin.
Practice chipping area and range are also more than adequate.
Great course conditions
For having got as little rain in the area this course was in great shape. The greens were soft and there were were few dry spots on the course. Not the hardest course you will play but there is plenty of sand and water to get you in trouble. Star also has a very nice practice facility which is free when you play so show up early!
Some of the best greens in town
As usual, Star Ranch has some of the best and most consistent greens in town. The course has a very fun layout and always a pleasure to play. We've had just enough rain this year so that the entire course is in excellent condition. I'd play here more if the price were a bit lower.
An on course marshall is needed. Groups fell behind and did not move aside for faster groups. Also, player in group in front was shirtless for most
An on course marshall is needed - we never saw one. Group in front fell well behind and did not offer to move aside. Also, one player was shirtless for most of the round until 18th hole.
Lots of fun
Better than average condition, bigger than average fairways for the not so strait drivers.
A little pricy unless you catch the specials but worth playing.
Breakfast, lunch, range balls and as many holes you can play - great deal!
The grounds are very well maintained - the greens were, well green, which is quite a feat during the Texas summer (100°+). Well worth the money.
Great day of golf
Course in very good shape, easy check in and pace of play superb. Free breakfast/lunch with the round a bonus. Very good shape all the way around.
Great Course
This is a great course if you can play it for a discount. We started at about 5:00 and finished just after the sun went down. One thing that I really wish courses would put more effort into is making sure that people are keeping a steady pace of play. The foursome in front of us waited until they had any entire open hole before they would tee off, even on par 5s. For all of my fellow golfers out there, be courteous to the golfers playing both in front and behind you. The course was in great shape from tee box to greens and had some holes that most people would only see in a country club. A very friendly staff and top quality practice facilities were also part of the deal. i would definitely play this course again.
Excellent golf experience
Star Ranch is a well-run, well-maintained golf facility. The people working in the golf shop and food and beverage area are courteous and professional. The course itself is currently in good condition. Tees, fairways and bunkers are excellent. Greens appeared to have been aerated several weeks before, so the surfaces weren't perfect but they were very playable and rolled true. Short iron shots backed up and medium irons rolled out just a few feet. We went off at 7:45 on a Sunday morning and never had to wait for the group in front, so we finished about 11:00. After a quick buffet lunch - included in the green fee - we played another 18 at no charge (replays are free, based on availability), again, in about 3 hours and 15 minutes. It's a fun course to play because it features plenty of variety but also has fairly generous landing areas, which obviates the need to spend too much time looking for lost golf balls. The holes are framed beautifully and the greens are challenging without being too severe. My buddy had never played it before and was so impressed he wants to go back next weekend.
Little bit of everything
This course has a little bit of everything -- slight elevation changes, well-placed bunkers, undulating greens, water hazards, challenging pin locations, open (no houses etc) yet not too forgiving. The driving range is nice and you'll almost always hit off of grass and not mats. The clubhouse is nice -- great porch with rocking chairs for that post round beverage.
Best shape ever
Havent played the Star in a while....wow.The fairways are better than I have ever seen them.Lush.Greens rolling really good as usual.A hair on the fast side compared to average but not too much.I was really impressed.Keep it up guys.
Nice Course
Grass and greens in great shape, would play it again but
twilight cost seems a little expensive
Always great conditions.
One of the best things about Star Ranch are the greens. I have never played there when the greens have not been rolling true. It's the one thing I look for when playing golf...are the greens in GOOD condition...and at Star Ranch they always are. I don't think there are any tricky holes that the average player has to worry about.
Course in great conditions
We knew the storm was coming in but decided to play anyways. Didn't mind the rain but once the lightening started we got off the course after hole 4. Staff gave us full rain checks and we plan to go back soon!
