Golf in the Heart of Alaska's Countryside

Golfing may not be the first thing you think of when you think of Alaska, but there are some spectacular golf courses that get players out into the beauty of the state. The North Star Golf Club is the continent's most northern USGA course. There are visitors specials for those who are not members and the specials are for 9 or 18 holes, and include cart, clubs, a logo ball, a certificate, towel, and a round of golf. This is a great way to have the experience of playing the course and taking home a few souvenirs to celebrate your play. There is a fully stocked pro shop on the premises for anything else you might need. It is the location that makes this course unique and it claims to be the only course that must account for animal interference on the scorecard. Animals are attracted to the wide open vistas of the course, which means you may end up losing a ball or two. Should a raven or fox walk off with your ball in play, the local rule is to drop the ball in a close location without a penalty. The course offers lessons for those who are new to golf.
