On Monday night, January 10, 2005, the Juneau City and Borough Assembly unanimously approved a 35-year lease for city land that will allow Totem Creek Inc. to pursue financing to build an 18-hole golf course in Alaska's capital city.
During these litigious, environmentally-hyper times, the term “wetlands” frequently is anathema to a golf course development. Such is not the case in Haines, Alaska, where a retired doctor and a visionary golf course designer are building a course smack dab in the middle of wetlands.
