Bob Jones’ Message
“In golf, customs of etiquette and decorum are just as important as rules governing play. It is appropriate for spectators to applaud successful strokes in proportion to difficulty but excessive demonstrations by a player or his partisans are not proper because of the possible effect upon other competitors.”"Most distressing to those who love the game of golf is the applauding or cheering of misplays or misfortunes of a player. Such occurrences have been rare at the Masters but we must eliminate them entirely if our patrons are to continue to merit their reputation as the most knowledgeable and considerate in the world.”
(Written April, 1967)
Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., (1902-1971), President in Perpetuity

The History of Muskeg Meadows
Thursday, July 1st, 1993Muskeg: a bog or marsh with thick layers of moss and other vegetation. Muskeg is the most plentiful un-forested terrain in Southeastern Alaska. These meadows are interspersed throughout the local rain forest of spruce, hemlock, and cedar trees on the golf course. It was through this visual inspiration that the name “Muskeg Meadows”, was derived.
This 2,950 yard, 9-hole course is the first regulation course in Southeast Alaska. The course is a result of cooperative efforts of local industry, city government, and individuals.
The facility includes a covered 8-station, 250-yard practice range as well as a practice putting green. There is a unique clubhouse/pro shop, where the coffee pot is always on and strangers are welcomed by the friendliest people in Southeast. Standard golf supplies are sold and clubs and pull carts are available to rent.
Established in 1993, the Wrangell Golf Club was formed for the sole purpose of developing and operating a golf course in the community of Wrangell. Construction began in 1995 and the greens were installed in 1998. The Wrangell Golf Club is a non-profit organization created by local golf enthusiasts. In May of each year there is an annual membership meeting, dinner, and tournament. There are over 600 members worldwide, including golfers from as far away as Tokyo and Singapore. The Wrangell Golf Club is very proud of Muskeg Meadows and we invite you to join us.
