For current availability, the operator lists 086 377 6722 or 086 377 6744 and Line esr_reservation

CHOOSING YOUR ROUND
What shapes the day
Water on the opening nine
The hole guide places water right of the 1st and on both sides of the 9th. Review those holes when planning the opening stretch.
The 18th-hole approach
Out-of-bounds runs left of the 18th, with four bunkers before the green. The old guide omits tee details; use the day’s markers and distances.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Make the round work for you
Preview the opening holes
The operator describes water right of the 1st, bunkers beside the raised 3rd green and water on both sides of the 9th. Its hole guide helps identify these features before play; it does not specify which tee its yardages use.
Check the back-nine distances
The operator’s back-nine guide contrasts a 596-yard par 5 at the 11th with a 327-yard par 4 at the 12th. It places out-of-bounds left of the 18th and four bunkers before that green. Use the day’s tee markers to establish your playing distances.

Course questions
What defines the Eastern Star layout?
The operator describes a 7,134-yard, par-72 course across 520 acres with 65 bunkers, 11 lakes and more than 2,200 coconut palms. Those are operator-published composition facts, not a course-condition claim.
When did Eastern Star open?
The operator says the course was designed and built in 1991, while other published records state 1992 or 1993. Because build year and public opening are not necessarily the same, this directory preserves the disagreement rather than claiming a newly settled opening date.
