Muskeg Meadows is a 9 holer built by the local golfing enthusiasts in the mid-1990s that counts over 600+ members worldwide. It's a unique layout trudging over muskeg, a bog or marsh with layers of moss, as it moves through meadows and a rain forest of spruce, hemlock, and cedar trees. It can play to 2,950 yards, 35.1/119 course and slope ratings off the back tees. It also has a covered 8-station, 250-yard practice range as well as a practice putting green. Golf in Alaska is always special with the views and settings and Muskeg Meadows has some of the best with sea and mountain vistas surrounding the course and plenty of wildlife. In fact, they have the "Raven rule" here, any ball taken by a raven can be replaced with no penalty!
