Muskeg Meadows was the first nine-hole regulation course in Southeast Alaska. U.S.G.A. rated Moderate/Difficult due to narrow fairways with dense woods lining either side. The course is a result of cooperative efforts of local industry, city government, and individuals.
The facility includes a covered 8-station, 250-yard practice range as well as a practice putting green. Standard golf supplies and snacks are sold. Full sets of golf clubs (right & left handed) for men, women and children are available to rent, along with power and hand carts. There is a unique clubhouse/pro shop, where the coffee pot is always on and strangers are welcomed by the friendliest people in Southeast.
Established in 1993, the Wrangell Golf Club was formed for the sole purpose of developing and operating a golf course in the community of Wrangell. Construction began in 1995 and the greens were installed in 1998. The Wrangell Golf Club is a non-profit organization created by local golf enthusiasts. The first weekend in May is our annual membership meeting, dinner, and tournament. There are over 600 members worldwide, including golfers from as far away as Tokyo and Singapore. The Wrangell Golf Club is very proud of Muskeg Meadows and we invite you to join us.

These meadows are interspersed throughout the local rain forest of spruce, hemlock, and cedar trees on the golf course. It was through this visual inspiration that the name “Muskeg Meadows”, was derived.

Hi Steve, Thanks for your inquiry. We’re glad to hear you’re interested in hitting the links while your ship is stopped in Wrangell, Alaska! Muskeg Meadows is approximately two miles from City Dock where you will be disembarking. We are currently booking groups for golf onboard the Regatta. We will have courtesy transportation for you from the dock to the golf course, and return. When you get here we will have all your golf supplies ready in an assigned golf cart. You are encouraged bring waterproof footwear and a lightweight rain jacket as the weather in Southeast Alaska is always marginal, and the golf course is embedded in wetland. Please take a moment to fill out any golf questionnaires onboard the Regatta so we can accommodate you with the proper golf equipment.
