GREAT NEWS FAIRBANKS GOLFERS!

The rumors are true! We have sold the golf course, and finally closed the deal yesterday. The new owners are already working hard to prepare for opening again.

There is extensive remodeling going on in the clubhouse, and the course has been mowed back down, and looking good again.

AND...they have RENAMED the venue "MIDNIGHT SUN GOLF COURSE", and started a new page and web site.

Their new website is available at https://www.midnightsungolfak.com/?fbclid=IwAR2S1oZbcHx1UvDsPI-9ZzkqqDxdGDd48x2z7NmIrn-46pdAWoOYyRJ0MNg

Now that glyphosate has been found to be a carcinogen, you will be happy to know that North Star Golf club has NEVER used an herbicide of any kind, in spite of the presence of dandelions, clover, and other weeds. With constant mowing and occasional fertilization, the grasses are the dominant species, and the course has never looked better.

In our 25 years, North Star Golf Course has grown into a beautiful place to play. We are still hoping to find a new owner/owners to take over the reigns before Mother Nature takes over completely.

The course has operated in the black for over a decade now. We are simply ready to have our summers free in our golden years.

Here's long time member Nancy Chang making a regulation par on the short but challenging #15. Can you see the ball? Great shot Nancy!

Our longtime friend and course worker Hans Sobanja has left us too soon. He was a fixture on our mowers and top dressers for many seasons. We will miss him.

Most North Star Golf Club members have seen the bubbles. Many have poked them with a tee and watched as the escaping methane burns at the flick of a bic.

"It’s an area that I and some other colleagues have started thinking about: can you get methane forming in terrestrial environments? But it’s a very new area of science," carbon scientist Katey Walter Anthony said.

Not only were the Men's League players hot playing backwards on the Back Nine August 28th, they had time to light up a methane bubble. Video by Kristopher Wood and narration by Roger Evans, PE & course architect.

North Star Golf Club, America's Northernmost USGA course, is on permafrost...which accounts for our unusual terrain. Arctic methane release is the release of methane from seas and soils in permafrost regions of the Arctic.
