What a Year for Golf in Alaska
The 2025 Alaska golf season brought strong participation and continued growth across the state. Major events – including the BMW State Amateur, State Match Play, and Four-Ball – saw solid turnout, with increased participation from juniors and women from throughout Anchorage, the Valley, and the Interior. Our continued alignment with the Pacific Northwest Golf Association also helped expand competitive opportunities for our members, increase member-benefit offerings, and strengthen our regional connection.
