Located in between Anchorage and Palmer is Peters Creek DGC located just off of the Old Glenn…read moreHighway (right next to the Glenn Highway). This 18 hole course plays through heavily wooded areas with some of the holes on the back 9 playing near or along Peters Creek. This was my first and only disc golfing experience while I was up in Alaska. And one I had heard very little about as far as on DGC Review website or by word of mouth. Actually, my golfing buddy suggested I make the trek out to downtown Anchorage to play Westchester Lagoon but it's been closed during the summer due to clashes between golfers and other users of the park. Since I was staying in Palmer, I decided to give this course a try. There's two parking lots to choose from when entering the park. The closest one (near the course's bulletin board) is located near the path to hole # 1, while the other parking lot (through the gate) is closer to hole #10...so depending on where you want to start your round, parking in either of these lots will accommodate your plans. While I played early (10 AM) on a Wednesday morning the course and parking lot was pretty empty, I did do some reconnaissance the evening before on the way back from dinner in Eagle River. I noticed that the course and front lot can get crowded, especially in the summer evenings when it doesn't get remotely dark-ish until Midnight or 1 AM. A short walk from the front lot down a path into the thick forest of Birch Trees is where the tee for hole # 1 awaits. As a California disc golfer and a first time player of this course, I stood for a while trying to take in the path and overall set up for the first basket. It's not too often you play a course in California with this many trees in your line of sight. Courses in CA tend to be a bit more wide open. I can imagine this is what those on the east coast have to deal with when playing some of their heavily wooded, tight fairway courses. After the shock, I started my round...hitting a share of trees but making Par on most holes on the front 9. Aside from the trees, you have quite a few holes that tend to play extremely short (some as short as just over 150 feet) but hook hard to the right, meaning if you're not left handed, you need to have a disc you can turn over or have a decent side arm game. This course definitely forces you to break out of your normal throwing game if you want to have a shot at some birdie opportunities. Most of the front 9 plays through the maze of Birch trees, with a few holes giving the player an opportunity to power out some throws on a few open fairways (holes 4,5,6 come to mind as they play along side of a rocky hill and down what looks like a dirt fire lane path.) Hole 7 is an straight away up-hill shot with a drop off to the left side (another good hole for something understable or a side arm shot for RHBH throwers). Hole 8 proved to be one of the more exciting holes on the course for the fact it's the only downhill shot in all 18 holes. With a mandatory on the right side, it's a straight and slightly to the left 237 foot hole that could easily lead one to empty their bag because it's such a fun hole to throw on. Much like the front 9, the back has a mix of tree laden holes as well as quite a few long holes as well. You can also hear Peters Creek throughout the back 9, making the atmosphere quite relaxing. Hole 15 is likely what many consider the courses signature hole, especially since this is where we get our first sight of Peters Creek. It's the longest hole on the course (375 feet) with a long and wide fairway and a basket nestled in a grove of thick trees to the left. But BEWARE! There's a drop off beyond the basket (both behind it and to the right...where the fairway leads you) into the "creek". The "creek" runs more like a river in the summer due to the snow / glacier melt from the nearby mountains. Chances to loose a disc to the creek come into play on holes 17 and 18 as well. I finished 4 over on my first 18 and 3 over on my second 18. Not bad considering this was my first time here. Some other thoughts... - Perhaps the only reason why I didn't give this course a perfect rating is due to the fact that there are no tee pads. Some tees were muddy and unplayable (had to throw from one side or the other on some holes). This is honestly the only complaint I could come up with. - Along with tee signs at every hole, there was a garbage can attached to the tee at every hole as well. It's something we need to see more of in CA. Unfortunately I did see some trash while walking the course. Seriously??? It's fucking Alaska! Show some respect! - While there are tee signs at each hole, navigating the course could be troublesome if you fail to bring a course map with you (map can be found at the link at the top of this business page). - During the summer the mosquitoes are relentless, so be sure to bring some repellent with you. - Look out for wildlife (saw moose prints in the mud).

Wow I really Can't believe all the bad reviews on this place. It is a bit run down I will give it…read morethat; but it just needs some good ol' TLC prob would cure most of the problems they have. I have been going here since I was prob 9 y/o and I think a combination of lack of effort and also being the only place in anchorage for mini-golf has taken it's toll on the place. Take it from an avid mini golfer who has been on a pelthora of courses in fl and other states, this is a GOOD course. It has great character; and has much more interesting holes than most of the boring "typical" courses I saw in other states. I would mostly knock off points for lack of maintainence and the sometimes less than enthusiastic staff. I Personally never had a problem with the lighting but that could be me. I wouldn't say it's very bright. I will be going there again tommorow and afterwards I can revise this review a bit better. Though overall I would say this course is more intresting, entertaining, and more orginal than your average mini golf place. Knock one star off if unperfect lighting bothers you and for the lack of repairs. I'm a bit forgiving on the latter part.

The entire place was dirty and smelled strongly of mildew and mold. The bathroom was out of order. The front desk girl was very mellow and didn't show us were the balls, or clubs or tally sheets were. Thankfully it's all pretty up front. The place has not been vacuumed in forever. There were tons of bits of lint and small pieces of trash laying around the courses. The various holes in the walls haven't been patched in a decade and the walls hadn't been wiped down in a long time. There were beetles crawling on the floor and ancient spider webs in the corners of the holes with giant spiders in them. There are multiple holes in the rug and areas with torn up signs on the floor that say "Don't step here" and a few holes were out of commission. One area didn't have over head lights at all. The front desk girl spent her time playing pool with a friend and watching reels while sitting on the couch. It's a shame. This is a really cool space and fun mini golf area. They should spend a week cleaning and doing minor repairs. Drain the water and fill it with rocks and make some little Alaskan land scape in it's place with tiny moose and cabins and mountains. It really wouldn't take much to bring this place back to life and I hope someone does.

Peggy loves golf! She is the LPGA Pro at O'Malley's golf course.

A few years back I got Leila our daughter getting lessons from Peggy. Life got busy and we stopped but we just had a lesson yesterday. Leila and I together. I have been a golfer since I was a kid. I played 36-45 holes a day when I was 15 years old. My brother would drop me off in the morning and pick me up after work. I had surgery on my shoulder and hadn't picked up a club in 4 years, kind of scared to, but So she has a 2 person lesson for $150/hour. Check out her website PeggyGolf.com to see her appointment availability. So I said you know what, with the surgery and all maybe I should get her to coach me. She started working on us both. She takes a video on her iPad several times and shows side by side problems and then works on fixing them. She fixed my slice and re-taught me a new grip. I need to practice what I learned and Leila picked up pretty much where she left off. I improved my game in just one lesson. What will I be able to do in 10 lessons? Golf is like riding a bike once you learn the right way you never forget. We'll practice and in another couple weeks get another lesson. My set up is better, I kept my head too low, my right hand wasn't rotating over as the club met the ball (meaning the face of the club was open when I hit the ball) and there it was, the slice to the right which is 85% of all golfers. She figures you out quick and then making the changes, you improve. Get a few lessons with her! You won't want to throw your clubs in the lake and you'll save money on lost balls! Start hitting it straight with Peggy!

The incident occurred during the summer of 2025. At the time, The Dome told my son's stepmother that he would be allowed to return this year. However, I am now being told that he has been permanently removed from the program. My son has been receiving behavioral health services through Alaska Child and Family Services and Child and Family Development since March 2024, and he has had an IEP through his school since the 2022-2023 school year. Despite his age and documented needs, The Dome permanently removed him without properly investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. My son was not given three warnings before being removed from the program. We also requested additional documentation and information about what happened, but our concerns were not properly addressed. My understanding is that my son was told by an older child to damage property. Yet, the older child involved was not removed from the program, while my 7-year-old was permanently removed. I find this extremely unprofessional and unfair. If The Dome had already decided to permanently remove my son, why was his stepmother told that he could return this year? Why were we not given clear communication or the opportunity to address the situation? Children, especially those with behavioral and developmental needs, deserve patience, understanding, appropriate support, and a fair process. I am asking The Dome to provide transparency and accountability regarding how this situation was handled and why the decision to permanently remove my son was made without properly investigating the circumstances.
