Permafrost:
North Star is underlain by permafrost, creating an ever changing pattern of dips, swales, and mounds reminiscent of the great courses of Scotland. No two shots are alike at North Star, which generates great interest and variety as a golfer progresses through the links. The number 8 green, once flat, is now one of the world's most undulating, yet playable greens anywhere. Enjoy!
