Alaska Golf Courses
Alaska has roughly 20 golf courses, and every one of them offers conditions found nowhere else in the country. The season runs from mid-May through mid-September, with peak summer rounds playable past 10 p.m. under a sky that stays light. Anchorage and the Matanuska-Susitna Valley account for most of the state’s courses, set against the Chugach Mountains. Anchorage Golf Course is an 18-hole layout on the city’s hillside with views of three mountain ranges, while Settlers Bay in Wasilla plays along the Knik Arm coast. Palmer Golf Course and Moose Run, a military-affiliated course open to the public, round out the region.
Fairbanks has a 9-hole course and the 18-hole Chena Bend layout at Fort Wainwright, where near-24-hour daylight around the solstice stretches tee times past midnight. The Kenai Peninsula has an 18-hole municipal course in Kenai and a 9-hole par-3 in Homer. Southeast Alaska contributes the Mendenhall course in Juneau and Muskeg Meadows in Wrangell, both 9-hole layouts carved out of temperate rainforest.
Expect daytime highs between 60 and 70 degrees in July, frequent rain, and the occasional moose crossing the fairway. Green fees are moderate, with most courses charging between $25 and $65 for 18 holes. The mix skews toward 9-hole courses given the small market, and all courses are public or semi-private. Tee time availability is rarely an issue outside of weekend mornings in Anchorage during peak summer.
