Alaska Public Golf Courses

In a state best known in the sports world for its world-class sled dog mushers and downhill skiers, golf is an increasingly popular sport, with the added attraction of wildlife on the golf course.

The greens in Anchorage, the Matanuska-Susitna Valley, Kenai Peninsula, Fairbanks and Kodiak attract a growing number of golfers. Moose, caribou, black bears, fox, lynx, rabbits, eagles and even Dall sheep are known to wander onto the greens, much to the delight of golfers who pack a camera in with their golf clubs. Golfers say the wildlife is more of an attraction than a nuisance.

The use of Yellow and Orange balls is recommended to help with the visibilty due to light frost or snow.
