    Built in the 1950s it has been listed among the best courses in Alaska by Golf Digest. The front 9 is hilly and the back is mostly flat. It is well treed with little water and the mostly straight fairways are planted in bentgrass. Don't forget the bizarre opportunity to play midnight golf beginning in May. No, not night-lighting, Sunlight! Military first, public second.
