Course Review

Karsten Creek Golf Club
Stillwater, Oklahoma
Within the Narrows of OSU Foliage
AMW Faves List
Favorite Par 3 – #11 – a magnificent par 3 near the start of the back nine tight, undulating, and tree-lined. It is a stern test for any mere mortal.
Favorite Par 4 – #16 – a dogleg to the right with water providing a dramatic backdrop behind the green. This hole gives back as much as it asks.
Favorite Par 5 – #9 – wide open from the tee, it invites you to launch a drive before reining it in for a narrow approach into the green. Long and demanding, this hole presents a formidable challenge.
Favorite Hole Design – #3 – Usually a par 5 earns a spot on this list, but the 3rd hole at Karsten Creek stands out as a beautifully designed par 3.
Easiest Hole – #12 – rewarding smart play at the 12th is to execute wisely, and a birdie is well within reach. Overpowering the hole, however, will only lead to trouble.
Hardest Hole – #17 – long and demanding, this par 4 requires a big carry over Lake Louise off the tee for a chance of hitting the green in regulation.
Favorite Extra Sighting – Lake Louise
Favorite Apres Golf – walking the campus at OSU
Where to Stay – Fordson Hotel – The Unbound, The National, Two Hearts Inn
Where to Eat – Ranchers Club, The Monarch
