Situated on the north bank of the Guadalupe River, Starcke Park Golf Course (formerly known as Max Starcke Park Golf Course) stretches across a scenic landscape of century-old pecan trees. The golf course is easy to walk being of mostly flat terrain. Trees line the fairways, making accurate tee shots top priority in scoring well. There are also strategically placed bunkers throughout the golf course and water hazards coming into play on a few holes for added challenge. Starcke Park Golf Course’s signature hole is the par-4 finishing hole, which requires a tee shot down a narrow fairway bordered by pecan trees on the right and a pond on the left. Considered one of the best municipal golf courses in Texas, Max Starcke Park G.C. also offers a practice and putting green and driving range.

Great course conditions!

I was very surprised how green grass was and the shape of the course when it was the hottest part of the summer! The course is a lot longer than I expected and definitely recommend the course for the price!

Nice unknown gem!

This is a great course and I enjoyed every minute playing it. I played Rebecca Creek last week and could shove a tee in the ground. Starke was a welcomed change in this well kept course.

Solid Course

Overall had a good experience at the course. Worth it for the price point they’re asking, especially when it’s on sale. Driving range and layout is lacking in some departments, but nonetheless it was a good time.
