What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It? The 18th hole is a true risk/reward par 5 that skirts the banks of Lake Louise (named after Loiuse Solheim). From the tournament tees, the carry to the fairway could be the most difficult tee shot on the course. Especially with the prevailing south wind. Favor the right side of the fairway and lay up smart - the green is much more receptive to a full shot.
Must Have Dish or Drink after the round at the 19th Hole? Our hand-cut, hand-breaded chicken tenders are a must for lunch and a Club Special after the round will finish your experience at Karsten Creek.
Who Holds Course Record and What Was Their Score? John Peterson from LSU shot 65 during the 2011 NCAA Championships.
