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.

Worst time I ever had playing at Starecke, had old men up rushing my play along all day. Slow players in front of me, I was billed twice

Moronic folks running the desk billed twice payed on my gold now app and had to pay when we arrived.

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.

Starke Park

Overall course is in good shape, fairways and greens need to be mowed. The day I played it was cart path only. Still wet from recent rains. Challenging course , old school with tree lined fairways . Like it
