Indoor Golf in the
Golden Heart City

Golf in Fairbanks is a tale of extremes. While summer offers the famous “Midnight Sun” rounds at 2 AM, the long Interior winters drive the game indoors. The city relies on two key venues to keep swings fluent: the accessible bays at Play It Again Sports and the private studio at Midnight Sun Golf Course.

Whether you are near the commercial hub of Old Steese Highway or out towards the scenic Chena Hot Springs Road, Fairbanks offers distinct options for year-round play. This guide helps you navigate between casual retail simulators and private training suites during the deep freeze.

Fairbanks Indoor Golf FAQ

Do I need to bring my own clubs?

Yes, it is highly recommended. While Play It Again Sports is a retail store that may have demo clubs, serious players should bring their own clean bag.

When does outdoor golf start?

The outdoor season typically runs from mid-May to September. The simulators are crucial for the remaining 7-8 months of the year when the ground is frozen.

Can I drink alcohol at these venues?

Policies vary strictly. Play It Again Sports is a retail environment and typically does not serve alcohol. Midnight Sun has a clubhouse, but you should check specific winter policies for the sim building.

Is Midnight Sun really open 24 hours?

In June and July, yes! The outdoor course allows tee times late into the “night” under full sunlight. However, the winter simulator operates on standard scheduled appointment times.
