In summary, I would say that it is worth it to put this course on your itinerary of courses to play. The course was in great shape, the staff were friendly and you get excellent value for your dollar. The fairways are fairly tight with mounds on either side of the fairways. Notable exceptions are 9 and 18 which share... More

The ASU golf course is like a trip to golf in Ireland or Scotland in many ways. I hope people enjoy it and the green fees are low, so average Americans can enjoy golf. Not an easy course. Beautiul to see an open golf area in a sea of buildings and parking lots.

First let me say very nice course But if you did not over charge tourists like me ( over 260.00 for 2 people) & 4 bucks for a bottle of water. We would have went back 1 more time but at those prices I think not

We golfed ASU Karsten for the first time in March 2013 from the Champion Tees (6288 yds, par 70) and the Regular Tees (5671 yds, per 70). The course was in magnificant shape from tee to green with the grass in the long rough proving tough to play from, but not so long you couldn't find your ball. Being a... More

Great course, especially for ladies. Every shot is different and it keeps your attention all the way around. Great restaurant in the clubhouse and the service at the course is exceptional. It is a little bit pricey but worth the expense.

We golfed this in early December. The price was worth it in December. The course was quiet but there was no attention by the starters or any rangers present. The front we completed in 2 hours and the back in almost 3 hrs. We waited alot on the back and it was frustrating. Course was in very good shape and... More

We learned about this fantastic opportunity for our family to experience ASU Karsten when i sent an email to the proshop and they promptly responded with a reply. First of all, i found that very courteous. Secondly, when i entered the proshop, the attendant knew exactly what i was looking for and set us up with a tee time that... More

Golfed Karsten on December 5th. Service was attentive and friendly. Pace of play was excellent and course conditions were very good. I found the course fairly challenging, and would like to give it another go now that I have been through it once. Cost was very reasonable for the quality of the experience.
