Alaska has less than 30 courses, and it will never be in the same conversation as Florida, Arizona or California for sunshine or golf. That doesn’t mean there are no opportunities to tee it up in the Last Frontier.
Even the U.S. Golf Association has made it a point to get to Alaska, hosting the 2022 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur at Anchorage Golf Course. That layout sits as the No. 1 public-access course in Golfweek’s Best Courses You Can Play state-by-state rankings.
Speaking of those Golfweek’s Best rankings, for most states we generate lists of best public and private courses. For Alaska, there simply isn’t enough golf for both lists. All the courses listed below welcome public play.

Golfweek’s Best offers many lists of course rankings, with the list of top public-access courses among the most popular. All the courses on this list allow public access in some fashion, be it standard daily green fees, through a resort or by staying at an affiliated hotel. If there’s a will, there’s a tee time.
