Starke Golf and Country Club features a challenging nine-hole golf course that is open to the public. The layout features tree-lined fairways, and water hazards in the form of several small streams and ponds come into play on seven holes.
The course also has strategically placed bunkers and native vegetation bordering the fairways and greenside. Although it does feature some challenges, the layout is player-friendly of the shorter tees with many forgiving features.
Designed by Roy Albert Anderson in 1959, Starke Golf and Country Club offers an excellent and affordable round for recreational golfers. Additional sets of tees are available to be used when playing a double loop eighteen hole round.
The course plays 3,212-yards from the back tees and just 2,948 from the forward tees. One of the most notable holes on the course, and the longest at 515-yards, is the fifth. This tricky par 5 has three separate creeks running through the fairway, while the shortest hole, the second, is a par 3 that plays to just 133-yards from the back tees.
Amenities at Starke Golf and Country Club include a driving range, pitching and chipping area, putting green and Pro shop for golfers. The clubhouse features both meeting and banquet facilities. Members and guests can also participate in the club’s activities, including membership dinners, fundraisers for charities and life events, golf tournaments, and more.
