MUSKEG MEADOWS
Wrangell's Golf Course is carved from a rain
forest and its natural beauty defies description.
Its ocean views, snow-capped mountains, and
wildlife are remarkable. It is truly a memorable
experience to play golf surrounded by all this
beauty. The regulation course is a 9-hole
course, with a 250 yard driving range. The
annual opening tournament of Muskeg
Meadows is in April each year, coinciding with
the Wrangell Garnet Festival, our local
celebration of Spring and the migration of Bald
Eagles congregating at the mouth of the Stikine
River. There are four major tournaments during
the season, with smaller tournaments and
contests almost every weekend during the
summer. The Course is USGA rated.
