ASU Karsten Golf Course

4-star: Above average course - well worth a visit.

Est. 1989

ASU Karsten Golf Course: PERMANENTLY CLOSED IN MAY 2019 to make way for the Arizona State University's expanding athletic facilities district.

[Original Where2Golf description]: ASU Karsten Golf Course is a hilly and at times quirky Pete & Perry Dye design, located in the heart of Arizona State University's Tempe Campus. This desert-style and parkland course, bisected by a busy highway, may not be one of the most scenic in Phoenix, but has for many years represented an excellent value, low cost golf option.
List of courses: Phoenix / Scottsdale

Tournaments

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).

Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).

Who's Who

Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.

Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club

Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.

Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
