More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The last light of a long Alaskan evening hangs low over the fairway as you roll a putt beneath an endless sky. Play on the northernmost USGA golf course in the United States means teeing off with daylight that can stretch past midnight and a landscape that feels honest and raw: low spruce, open tundra edges, and the distant shape of permafrost hummocks that change the roll of your ball.

History
The facility is known as the northernmost USGA-certified course in the United States and was laid out to work with the arctic landscape and seasonal permafrost rather than against it.
Conservation
Permafrost and tundra edges are sensitive—stay on designated paths and carts to limit erosion and help protect the fragile soil and native vegetation.

Dress in layers
Arctic evenings can shift from warm to windy—bring a windproof outer layer and a warm mid-layer.
Bring insect repellent
Early summer has hungry mosquitoes near tree lines and boggy areas—repellent keeps the round comfortable.
Watch for wildlife on fairways
Moose and foxes frequent the course—give animals space and suspend play if a moose is nearby.

Permafrost and sensitive turf can be damaged by off-path driving—follow course signage to protect greens.
