Golf Scramble
The Golf Scramble, an optional event (at additional cost),
will be held on Sunday, September 18 from 7:00 AM to 1:00
PM at the award-winning AZ State University’s Karsten Golf
Course.
Opened in 1989, Karsten is a links-style Peter Dye course has
been the home to one of the strongest collegiate golf programs
in the country–the ASU Sun Devils. Awarded 4.5 stars by the
prestigious Golf Digest Rating Panel, this well maintained and
challenging design features Dye’s signature mounding and
creative bunkering–making proper club selection essential for
low scoring. Top PGA and LPGA TOUR professionals such as Phil
Mickelson, Billy Mayfair, Grace Park, and Anna Nordqvist have
all sharpened their skills at this premier facility. Other notable
golf legends such as LPGA Hall of Fame Joanne Carner, the late
Heather Farr, and tour event winner Grace Park honed their golf
game on the ASU Karsten Golf Course.
We will be working with a local charity for on-course
challenges and contests!
