Imagine
teeing off under the midnight sun,
surrounded by the Alaskan wild. The
relaxing environment, fresh mountain
air, and spectacular panoramic scenery
make playing Black Diamond's 9-hole
golf course a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Black Diamond is located right next
to a serene mountain lake where wildlife
abounds. Mountains tower over your
game and wildflowers surround every
hole. The links-like course is one
of the northernmost in the world,
challenging you with uniquely Alaskan
hazards.
For most golfers, this is
a great opportunity to see what the
original courses in Scotland were like.
Thise course was built in 1995,
right on top of the Alaskan tundra
with little-to-no top soil. The
rugged grass is challenging to
say the least, but still designed
for easy walking or driving via
power cart. Hazards include moose-hoof
prints, tundra marsh, and a local
fox that steals your ball off the
second green.
