After many years of planning and fundraising, the pieces were finally in place to create what is now Karsten Creek. The fairways were cut from a forest of oaks and blackjacks, complemented by an undulating terrain that flows throughout the course. The back nine winds around Lake Louise the 110-acre lake Louise featured on the finishing holes. As the home of the Oklahoma State Men's and Women's golf programs, the course is kept in a challenging condition, allowing team members to maintain their competitive edge.
