Thinking About Living in Star Hill Golf Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Star Hill Golf Club and the surrounding Crystal Coast golf market.
Star Hill Golf Club is one of the Crystal Coast's oldest golf facilities and the clearest example in this market of a residential neighborhood genuinely organized around and named for its golf course, rather than golf being incidental amenity inventory in a larger development.
Golf & Course
Opened in 1967 and designed by Russell T. Burney, Star Hill offers three distinct nine-hole, par-36 courses (Sands, Pines, Lakes) that can be combined into 18-hole rounds, giving it 27 total holes -- one of only two 27-hole facilities identified in this market.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Most sources describe Star Hill as semi-private, with both club memberships and public daily-fee tee times available; the club's Better Business Bureau registration category ('private golf courses') and at least one directory describing members-only play conflict with that picture. This was not resolved definitively this session.
