Muskeg Meadows: Home of Ravens Rule
by Aaron Angerman, reporter@golfinalaska.com

Bear, deer and moose can be seen grazing as nine USGA rated fairways rise out of the wetlands to form Muskeg Meadows.  Sitting atop a foundation of byproducts from the once flourishing Wrangell timber industry, the 32-acre course offers such a unique golf experience that it boasts a 30-tournament schedule, highlighted by the annual Alaska Airlines tournament.  While playing golfers can checkout the newly added activities shelter, which serves to provide a location for guests to dine on great food, chat with locals or view the interpretive signage detailing the course's conception.

"Golf in the wilds of Alaska, between the snow capped mountains, in the middle of the rainforest, "says Pro Shop Manager Terree Pino. "Here you'll find the friendliest people in Southeast Alaska and the coffee is always on."

Come and test your skill as you avoid the large jutting rock on the course's signature ninth hole.  Observe the abundance of wild flowers and wide variety of birds as you walk the course, but keep an eye on your ball -- Ravens have been known to steal balls as they rest gently on the greens.  Don't worry, because if you have a witness, you'll be awarded a free drop according to the "Raven Rule."
