During my February vacation I'm going to Arizona to visit Arizona State. While I'm there I have to play some golf as there is way too much snow here in Boston. Anyways we will be staying in Mesa and I plan on playing at ASU Karsten, Longbow and maybe one more. Does anyone have reviews on the courses and or recommendations for a third.

Thanks guys

The ASU Karsten Course and Longbow are good courses and convenient to ASU. I'd suggest Southern Dunes which is about 20 minutes South and Whirlwind (two courses) which is very close.

If you would like a course that is a little different than either Longbow or Karsten you might try the Dinosaur Mountain course at Gold Canyon.  It is a little bit of a drive, but not further than Southern Dunes,  from ASU but worth the trip if you can get on.  The Raven at South Mountain would be closer and a challenging lay out.

    • Haha I made a I typo. I was thinking two things at once, ‘I don’t think bogey is a bad score’ and ‘I think bogey is a great score’. But I mixed them up and said the opposite 
    • How isn't bogey a great score? As a 20 handicap every single time you make a bogey you are playing better than expected. Because if you bogeyed every hole you'd most likely be lower than a 20. You're a high handicap playing a hole that is lined with hazards the entire length of it on both sides.  Bogey is a very solid score for you on that hole.  From 300yds off the tee PGA tour players average 3.71 strokes to hole out. As a high handicap you are going to be more than 1 full stroke higher than that, probably closer to 2 full strokes higher.  If you had 100 different 20 handicaps play that hole I would bet a lot of money that the scoring average is greater than 5.0 Sometimes courses have really hard holes. Play for your bogey, be ecstatic about a par, and do everything possible to minimize double bogey.

    • I don’t think bogey is a great score here. Will try the 7i - 7i approach. If I’m short, I think I can get out of the bunker and if I’m on the right I can chip up. 
    • Super narrow hole. Stroke average will likely be well over par here. Since it seems like it only plays what 300-305 for you from white tees I don't think 7i - 7i is the worst play if 7i dispersion is small enough that it would hardly ever reach the penalty hazards.  But if your 7i dispersion brings the hazards into play then you're likely better off hitting something further up there since everything would have the hazard in play.
