Considering a Home in Fairway Estates (Wasilla, AK)?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Fairway Estates (Wasilla, AK) and the surrounding Mat-Su Valley (Wasilla) golf market.
Fairway Estates is the golf-fronting residential subdivision built directly along Settlers Bay Golf Course, roughly 8 miles west of Wasilla on Knik-Goose Bay Road. At 138 acres with lots averaging roughly 3.8 acres (some sources describe an initial 1-2 acre lot range), it is a considerably smaller and more specifically golf-oriented product than the much larger Settlers Bay Owners Association subdivision that shares the general area and name. The golf course's own official website directly markets Fairway Estates lots, describing the development as bordered on two sides by salmon-rearing streams with views spanning ocean, wetlands, mountains, and the golf course itself, and positions it as Alaska's only 18-hole residential golf community.
No dedicated Fairway Estates homeowners association or CC&R filing was independently confirmed in this research pass, and no golf-membership perk tied to Fairway Estates lot ownership was found -- golf access here works the same way it does for any Settlers Bay Golf Course player: public green fees or a season pass, open to anyone. The community's value proposition for a golf-oriented buyer is genuine developer-level integration and course frontage, not private or bundled access.
Golf Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
No evidence was found that purchasing a Fairway Estates homesite includes, requires, or discounts golf access at Settlers Bay Golf Course. Golf here is public, pay-to-play or season-pass, available identically to Fairway Estates residents and any other golfer.
Living in Fairway Estates (Wasilla, AK)
Fairway Estates comprises roughly 3.8-acre-average homesites (some marketing material cites an initial 1-2 acre range) across 138 platted acres directly along the golf course, with paved, borough-maintained streets and underground utilities. It is bordered on two sides by salmon-rearing streams and sits near the Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge. It should not be confused with the separate, larger Settlers Bay Owners Association subdivision (Units 1 & 2, ~799 owners) that shares the broader Settlers Bay area and name but is explicitly not golf-affiliated.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Residents have direct access to the golf course's clubhouse dining and the area's broader outdoor-recreation setting -- salmon streams, coastal trails, and the Palmer Hay Flats State Game Refuge's wetlands and tidal sloughs -- rather than a dedicated private amenity package of its own.
Location & Surrounding Area
Fairway Estates sits at Mile 8 of the Knik-Goose Bay Road, on the shores of Knik Arm roughly 8 miles west of downtown Wasilla, within the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
