Golf in Fairbanks

Fairbanks is Interior Alaska's largest city and the second largest in the state, a community built on gold rush origins in the Tanana River valley at the confluence of the Chena River. The city occupies a geographic and cultural position distinct from coastal and southern Alaska—isolated from the maritime moderating influences that give Anchorage and Southeast Alaska their more temperate climates, Interior Alaska experiences some of the most extreme temperature swings in North America. Summer golf in Fairbanks is a genuine pursuit made extraordinary by the midnight sun, which enables rounds at ten o'clock at night in June and July, and the spectacular subarctic landscape that frames every course in the region with mountains, boreal forest, and a sky that seems to belong to another world.
