The weather is never a factor when you decide to play a round of golf at the Par T Golf Course. This is a unique playing experience, as you need to bring your own clubs and choose to play on one of eight electronic machines that simulate playing on a real course. Among the choices, you can play on Pebble Beach, Doral, or any of the remaining six courses. Your shots are measured by the computer, so if you hit a tree or another golfer, it will count against you. The images on the panoramic screen are actual photographs of courses and not computer generated images. Par T is the perfect golfing destination during those dark, winter months in Anchorage.
