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.

Much better conditions than in the past

I was very impressed with the improvement to the course conditions. In the past I had written this course off because of how hard the fairways were and how rough of shape the greens were in. If you have not played starcke in the past few months then I highly recommend it! Especially for the price

Could be better

This course regularly allows groups of 5 and 6 play without anybody out there to make sure they’re allowing people to play through, pace of play I feel is the most annoying thing while on a course and they just don’t care about that, the course itself isn’t bad but it could be better if they wouldn’t allow those groups of 5 and 6 out.

Affordable and in Good condition for drought

Considering we haven't had rain for two months the course was in fair condition. Open layout that allows players to recover from most errant shots. Gotta keep your head on a swivel as a lot of fairways are side by side.

Staff was great and helpful.

Pace of play was the biggest issue with really tight tee times. Supposed to tee off at 8:36 and it was so far behind we didn't tee off till after 9.. With that said pace was better once the round started.

Overall pretty good place to work on some new swing mechanics.
