CHENA BEND GOLF COURSE

The midnight sun creates an otherworldly golfing experience where you can tee off at 10 PM with perfect visibility across this rugged Alaskan layout carved from boreal forest. Designer Robert Muir Graves maximized the dramatic elevation changes and natural creek hazards that wind through dense stands of birch and spruce, demanding precise course management on holes like the downhill par-3 8th that plunges 80 feet to a well-guarded green. This military installation track proves that subarctic golf can be every bit as challenging and memorable as its temperate cousins, with greens that run lightning-fast during the brief but intense growing season.
