We have played the ASU/Karsten Golf Course each of the last two years during our annual spring training/golf trip to Arizona. It is a very challenging Pete Dye designed course with rolling undulating fairways, lots of trouble and tricky greens. There is a grass driving range with targets to warm up on.
The staff are primarily ASU students that provide excellent and courteous service. We’ve felt well taken care of in all aspects of each of our visits and try to leave generous tips.
The ASU/Karsten is a little pricey, but it is in wonderful shape and it a great challenge. This is a course that we plan to leave in as part of our annual trip.

The course is pretty much straight in front of you…
[…] My scores at the ASU Karsten course over the last 5 years: 2002: 102, 2003: 100, 2004: 92, 2006: 84 (with a damn triple-bogey on the last hole). The scores are going in the right direction at least. […]
