Discover the Joy of Family Golf

Golf isn't just a sport; it's a wonderful way for families to bond, enjoy the outdoors, and create lasting memories together. Family golf brings generations closer, offering a unique opportunity for quality time on Alaska's Best Putting Greens.

  • Benefits of Golfing as a family

    1. Outdoor Activity: It gets the family outdoors and moving. Golf courses are typically set in beautiful surroundings, providing fresh air and a chance to enjoy nature.
    2. Physical Exercise: Walking the course, swinging clubs, and carrying clubs (for older kids) provide physical activity and exercise. It's a low-impact sport suitable for most ages and fitness levels.
    3. Skill Development: Golf teaches patience, focus, and coordination. Kids learn hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, and how to control their bodies through the swing.
    4. Mental Stimulation: Golf requires strategic thinking and problem-solving skills. Kids learn to assess the terrain, plan their shots, and adapt to different conditions.
    5. Family Bonding: Golfing together fosters bonding and creates lasting memories. It provides quality time away from screens and distractions, allowing for meaningful conversations and shared experiences.
    6. Social Skills: Golf encourages social interaction, etiquette, and sportsmanship. Kids learn how to interact with others on the course, follow rules, and handle both success and failure gracefully.
    7. Life Lessons: Golf teaches valuable life lessons such as integrity, perseverance, and resilience. Kids learn to deal with challenges and setbacks, which are important skills for their personal and academic lives.
    8. Building New Connections: Engaging in interactions on the golf course can pave the way for forging fresh relationships, opening doors to broader opportunities in the future.
    9. Lifetime Sport: Golf is a sport that can be enjoyed throughout one's lifetime. Starting young allows kids to develop skills that they can continue to refine and enjoy well into adulthood.
    10. Family Traditions: Golfing together can become a cherished family tradition, passed down through generations. It creates a sense of continuity and connection to family history.
