Caribou Golf

Hmmm, funny name for a title but we had a extremely interesting experience at the Kenai Golf Course.


The city of Kenai has a fabulous golf course located just outside of town and is a jewel. Besides being long, 6,194 yds from the white tee's and 5,894 yds from the senior or gold tees the course is in great shape and winds it way around the Kenai River and woods surrounding it. The fairways are wide, the greens in good shape and the rough manageable. The price was a bargain at $25 + $13 for cart.


The following pictures really tell the story, but as we were approaching 16 green on the back 9 we had a visitor come out of the woods...........a full grown, bull caribou that would probably tip the scales at over 350 lbs. and a rack that had to span 6 feet from tip to tip.


He wanted to play ! He scared the heck out of us, just by his shear size plus he got so close to us that it was amazing. He stayed with us for 17 and only after we tee'd off on 18 (and he held us up for that) did he finally wander off into the woods.


A unique experience. Enjoy the pics and the video.
