Golf in Alaska? You betcha. Even in Wasilla, Alaska, you can find golf courses in a pristine, natural setting with amazing views of the Chugach Mountain Range. If your trip is close to the solstice, then choose a tee time at Settler's Bay as late as midnight. See why "Golf Digest" listed Settler's Bay and Sleepy Hollow in its "Places to Play" guide (See References 1). While there, stay in one of Wasilla's charming hotels and enjoy the beauty of this picturesque environment.
