The Course

Every hole asks something different of you

Forest-lined fairways, true greens, and bunkering that punishes a lazy shot — Karen rewards precision as much as power.

A fairway at golden hour

Forest-lined fairways

Indigenous trees line most fairways, so a wayward drive costs you more than distance.

A well-maintained putting green

True, well-kept greens

Greens kept true enough that a well-read putt actually goes in — ask any member.

Strategic bunkering

Bunkers placed to make you think twice before every approach shot.

A full hole-by-hole course card — par, yardage, and stroke index — is available from the Golf Administrator, and provided to every visitor ahead of their round.
