As you stand on the 16th tee at the ASU Karsten Golf Course, you cannot help being drawn in by the beauty of the hole. A lake on the right side runs the entire length of the hole guarding the right and front sides of an expansive green. Mounding on the left and back sides of the hole complete a picturesque setting. The Karsten ASU golf course has the look of a lunar landscape because of the mounding that defines the fairways. The familiar Pete Dye railroad ties are around the #9 and #18 holes. The golf shop is outstanding, being rated in the top 100 for the country for three years in a row. This course is named after the late Karsten Solheim, the founder of the Ping Golf Company. Enjoy a round at ASU on one of your next Arizona golf vacations.
