ASU KARSTEN GOLF COURSE
Designed by renowned golf course architect Pete Dye, the ASU Karsten Golf Course is a classic links style course. Four sets of tees ranging from 4,765 to 7,057 yards provide variety for all levels of players. Strategy is key and precise shot making is critical, as many greens are partially hidden and well guarded by bunkers and water. The daunting par 3 signature 16th, measuring 248 yards from the tips, is dominated by a lake that runs down the right side from the tee to a deep, narrow green. The kidney-shaped par-four 18th guarded by water left is one of the toughest finishing holes in Arizona. Reserve some energy to conquer the rugged but scenic final four holes.
