Year Round Golf Dome

Here in the depths of winter, we're all dreaming of the first Spring day; unfortunately, it's still quite a ways off.

But like a shiny beacon of hope, we have summer all year round at places like the Year Round Golf Dome, the home of today's feature: $8 for One Hour of Range Time with Unlimited Balls at Year Round Golf Dome in Schoolcraft ($17 Value. Expires April 1, 2012.)

At Year Round Golf, "the weather is always perfect," and you'll be happy to have it just so. Located just north of Schoolcraft on US-131, Year Round Golf offers a great venue to fine-tune — and even improve — your golf game this winter.

The interior dome features 34 range tee stations with a driving distance of 70 yards and a maximum height of 65 feet, allowing you to see the ball flight of each and every club in your bag. With an entire hour of unlimited balls, you'll have more than enough time to put in quality practice with each swing of the club.

Also available, but not included in this feature, are three Full Swing golf simulators offering 18 holes on more than 30 of the world's most loved golf courses, such as Banff Springs, Cog Hill and Pinehurst. Best of all, you can hit the links here with up to five individuals in your group, which you'll never do out on the real course. But just like a real course, Year Round Golf offers a wide selection of beer, wine and soft-drinks for your enjoyment while you "walk" the course.

And once Spring does mercifully arrive, you're always welcome to return to Year Round Golf and head to the outdoor range, where you can set your sights on any of the five laser-measured target greens. Now, stop making excuses and get back in touch with your game!
