Course Overview
Karsten Creek was built for Oklahoma State University’s golf program at the behest of Karsten Solheim, the Ping founder. Deeply wooded corridors, forced carries and small, slick greens require precise drives and excellent touch on what is one of the most challenging university courses in the nation. No wonder the course has rocketed such players as Rickie Fowler and Viktor Hovland onto the professional stage. Lake Louise, named after Karsten’s wife, is a determining factor on the closing stretch, which finishes beneath the OSU clubhouse. Karsten Creek looms large on the college-golf rota, and will be even more revered after a renovation by Andrew Green.
