COURSE INFORMATION

Home to the nationally-ranked Oklahoma State University Men’s and Women’s Golf programs.

“The predominant feeling you have in this place is one of peace and tranquility. The holes are secluded from one another so that golfers don’t really see others until they reach the sixteenth hole. The separations are created by a combination of elevations and trees. With the woods, creeks and ravines, and the open fairways stretching into silence, there’s a great sense of walking with nature.”

Tom Fazio, Golf Course Designer, Karsten Creek.

  • This hole provides another panoramic view. A left to right shot is preferable on this wide fairway. Once you reach the green your work has just begun. The green is slightly elevated, and most of the putting surface can be seen from the fairway.

  • This is one of the most unusual holes on any golf course. A par three of 218 yards that plays down the channel of a large ravine into the prevailing wind. The entire hole is tree-lined and the green is protected front and back by water.

  • This hole is downhill and downwind. The front of the small green is guarded by a severe left to right slope that will funnel most approach shots into a bunker on the right side of the green or a creek, which meanders along the back and right side of the green.

  • On this hole, the elevated tee gives a view of the entire length of this par four hole. A prevailing left to right breeze might carry a tee shot into the right fairway bunker. The back tee requires a carry of over 200 yards to clear a water hazard.

  • This hole is usually downwind, and should be reachable in two shots. The dogleg right features fairway bunkers on both sides of the landing area. The green is framed by large blackjack trees to the left and right.

  • This hole plays east to west and is well bunkered. A new tee box on this hole not only adds length but also difficulty to the easiest of the par 3s. The green is probably the largest and most severely sloped on the golf course.

  • This is the most difficult hole on the course at 467 yards into a prevailing south wind. The tee shot must carry 180 yards to clear the lake. The green is guarded by a bunker on the front left. Lake Louise sits menacingly to the left to swallow any pulled shots.

  • This downhill, normally downwind hole may allow quite a few birdies. However, the tee shot must carry 241 yards to clear the lake and the entire length of the hole is bordered by Lake Louise to the left. This green could set the stage for a dramatic finish to a championship round.
