Horrible Customer Service
Was on a vacation. Booked a tee time that was already past the 48hr cancelation policy. Unfortunately we could not make it due to an illness. Manager didn't care and would not refund the money. A certificate was offered to replay but that is impossible as the course is 1800 miles away. My advice is too go somewhere else.....
Lord of the flies
This was the first time that I had played the 18 holes that I’m writing about since then I have played it several times, including the nine hole Mulligan course I like this course it has tons of old trees, relatively narrow, and really quite an enjoyable place to play. My Main issue with this place is you’ll be playing along and you come around the corner to start your next hole and there’s a group of kids walking The hole in front of you. Now I believe that this is a great place for kids to hang out. It is so much better than a street corner. But what I Don’t like is at 4:30 Pay $90 for 18 holes iand 40$ for nine holes and have these kids popping in and out of your game or just taking over the holes that they’re playing at a leisurely walk with no Hope of finishing your round. These kids appeared to be entitled because they don’t acknowledge you They are pleasant enough, It’s a complete lack of Acknowledgment when you ask to play through. The club seems to know that they’re there and they really don’t do anything about it. In general, it’s really quite a nice place. I like to practice there. It looks like a great date night place where you really don’t care about playing golf, but I would play someplace else for that kind of money and enjoy the round without having a bunch of young boys Interfering with your game
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We regret the issues you experienced regarding juniors during your round at Starfire. We pride ourselves in our junior friendly environment but it sounds like we need our ranger team to work with our junior golfers on their etiquette now that school is out.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to the opportunity to make a better impression during your next visit.

Slow
Had a 3:02pm tee time. 3:22 still hadn’t teed off which wasn’t a big deal but the group ahead of us was a group of 12! Playing as a group of 12. We asked the starter and he said he had someone on 3 that would make sure they weren’t going to play together. We along with the starter all watched the group tee off together. He said he couldn’t leave his post to tell them. After sitting on the tee box until 3:30 we left. Place is a joke. Over booked tee sheet, always behind. Save yourself the money.
Thank you for playing Starfire Golf Club.
We take speed of play seriously and make sure our course marshals and starters are continually working with our golfers on their pace. It looks as though we missed an opportunity, and we will address this and continue to improve.
We hope to welcome you
out to Starfire.

Poor management during bad weather
The Waste Management Open just up the road was on a weather hold all day but Starfire felt the course was playable and wouldn’t do cancellations or refunds. Bunkers had 1-2 feet of water, greens had standing water. In certain areas the golf cart path had 1.5 feet of rushing water that was over the bottom of the cart as we made our way around the course. Price of the course was 3-4x normal because it was busy for the open, I suspect this influenced their poor decision
Thank you for playing Starfire and taking the time to give us your review. Your comments are appreciated and I will share them with our team.

Enjoyable Starfire
The course was in great shape for the time of year but watch out for the water holes, especially on the Par 3’s as you might need some extra balls.
Thank you for playing Starfire and thank you for the review. We can relate to your new found appreciation for the way the water features surround our par 3's on the front 9.
We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
Travis Fish, Director of Golf

We sincerely hope that you will consider returning for another round of golf, allowing us the opportunity to showcase the exceptional standards that we strive to uphold.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to the privilege of welcoming you back for the Starfire experience.
Poor tee sheet management = Greedy pricing
I've played this track several times and it was in pretty decent shape fairway wise. But the bunkers had almost no sand and no body raked them after being in them.
The greens were pocked marked from nobody fixing ball marks.
The starter told us that the nines were running at 2:20 meaning there was no way for our group to finish the round in daylight. Meaning we should have been charged twilight rate but were not.
Thank you for playing Starfire and thank you for your feedback. We apologize your experience was not up to par, but your feedback is what motivates us to get better.
