Star Hill Golf Club

Cape Carteret, North Carolina, USACoastal North Carolina

Star Hill Golf Club in Cape Carteret offers an 18-hole public layout marked by Bermuda fairways, coastal winds, and a playable design that invites golfers of all levels. Well-kept conditions and friendly staff make it a solid choice for both locals and visitors.

Course Overview

Star Hill Golf Club presents a compelling golf experience on the North Carolina coast, blending approachable playability with a well-maintained layout that appeals to a broad spectrum of golfers. This 18-hole public course stretches across gently rolling terrain punctuated by mature trees and sandy soil typical of the region. The course's design offers a balance of challenge and enjoyment with Bermuda fairways that reward precise shot-making and putting surfaces that hold true despite seasonal conditions.

The layout encourages strategic thinking without overwhelming less experienced players. Golfers will find multiple risk-reward opportunities, especially around greens guarded by bunkers and subtle elevation changes that influence ball flight and shot placement. Wind coming off the nearby coast can add an element of unpredictability, particularly on the more exposed holes, testing a player’s control and club selection.

Set along 202 Club House Drive in Cape Carteret, Star Hill Golf Club benefits from a relaxed, inviting atmosphere. The driving range, although limited to 160 yards, provides an adequate warm-up area. A smaller pitch and putt spot offers focused practice, making preparation accessible for all skill levels. On the course, golf carts equipped with GPS ease navigation, though walking remains an option for those who prefer a quieter, more connected experience with the surroundings.

Amenities extend beyond the turf with a friendly clubhouse offering a selection of food and beverages. The clubhouse staff receives praise for their hospitality, adding to the welcoming environment for both locals and visitors. The course’s pace of play is typically smooth, although moderate delays can occur, especially during busy periods.

Star Hill Golf Club stands out in the Cape Carteret area as a course where thoughtful design meets practical playability. Players seeking a course that balances straightforward navigation with subtle tests of skill will find it a satisfying destination. Whether coming for a casual round or looking to fine-tune one’s game in a coastal North Carolina setting, Star Hill delivers a versatile golf outing with reliable conditioning and friendly service.

Course Highlights

Star Hill Golf Club features Bermuda fairways with subtle dunes and sandy outcroppings that reflect its coastal location. The course’s layout incorporates natural wind patterns, challenging golfers on exposed holes where club selection becomes crucial. The bunkers are strategically positioned near greens, forcing careful approach shots. The friendly clubhouse and attentive staff complement the well-kept landscape, providing an inviting atmosphere for visitors.

Nancy & Lauren were both phenomenal and very accommodating for our large party of 10. I would give both of them 100/100. Nancy came and checked on us multiple times. Very very friendly. Highly recommend Birdies to anyone. Great atmosphere and vibe on the golf course!

Got to play 9 holes of the Pines side! Nice track for the money. Driving range was a little rough and only 150 yards. Tee boxes were good, fairways mostly plush and Bermuda greens rolling pretty quick. The pace of play was a little slower today but usually the pace is ahead of schedule. Shot a nice 39 from the blues with a great opening birdie but a disappointing closing bogey. Didn’t see any gators but did see some big squirrels.

Course was in great shape and the staff couldn’t be better! For the price way more bang for your buck than most courses in the area

Visiting town and vacation and looked for a close, local course. Having read some of the reviews, I wasn't holding out a lot of hope for the condition of the course, but was pleasantly surprised. The greens were a bit bumpy from being aerated but they were in good shape and rolled well overall. Played only the "Sands" 9 but the fairways were in good shape too. Some burnt spots or dirt areas around the course but that's to be expected as the season goes along. Driving range only goes to 160 yards and the pitch/putt practice area is marginal, but good enough for warming up. The carts were very nice and included GPS. The marshal and front desk were both friendly and helpful. Course was good enough that we booked it for a 2nd time this week.

Used the pool day pass for our family, since there are just no public pools around and we promised our son for weeks to go. Its a decent enough pool but needs a little update. Same with the showers, toilets etc. Lifeguard was on duty and very attentive. Unfortunately at $20 a person, this will be a one and done deal
