Golf

The northern phenomenon known as the midnight sun is what makes golfing in Anchorage truly distinctive. The Alaska golf season usually runs May through September and with the midnight sun, tee times can range from 5 a.m. until nearly midnight.

At the Anchorage Golf Course, located on the hillside with sprawling views of the city, golfers can enjoy vast views of three separate mountain ranges, including the towering nearby Chugach Mountains. Denali, the tallest mountain in North America, makes an appearance when the weather is clear, and it's not uncommon to encounter a moose sauntering across the greens.
