Bring your sunscreen, camera, and binoculars. The golf course is wonderful wildlife habitat, and as we develop the course we work to preserve this unique resource. It seems there is always something new to see. The sandhill cranes call out when they see the humans wacking away at what look like very tough eggs. The moose pass through on their way to browse in the wetland ponds.
Birds perch on hazard markers and hunt insects in the rough.
Hawks and eagles soar overhead, looking for voles and ground squirrels. Owls hoot at golfers from their high perches, and often swoop down and carry off a vole while you watch. The North Star Golf Club is 10 minutes from downtown Fairbanks. Go North on the Steese Expressway toward Fox for about 3 miles. Take the Chena Hot Springs Road Exit, and turn left at the bottom of the exit ramp.
