The Anchorage Golf Course is unique in several aspects from courses located in the Continental States. Summer play can range from as early as 4:30 am to well after midnight. The beauty of the course itself is also a wonderful asset. Located on the hillside overlooking Anchorage, the course offers a view of 3 separate mountain ranges including the world-famous Mount McKinley. Visitors have a chance to see some of Alaska's wildlife, including moose, fox, waterfowl, and the occasional bear.
