The Golf Village

Hit the range as well as the links with today's dual-purpose feature: $5 for 9 Holes and a Small Bucket of Range Balls at The Golf Village in Pineville near Charlotte ($16 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time until July 1, 2013.)

The Golf Village is a well-rounded facility wholly dedicated to the game of golf. With a nine-hole par-3 golf course and Charlotte's largest grass-tee driving range, The Golf Village provides the area with a convenient location to practice and play all in one spot.

Open all year round, The Golf Village offers a peaceful environment for all types of golfers to play and improve their game. The 10-acre par-3 course features small Mini Verde greens and sand bunkers, challenging players to execute crisp, accurate iron shots.

The full-length practice range at The Golf Village lets you warm up before you hit the par-3, as well as work out the kinks when you're done. Fresh yardage markers helpfully point out the distance on every swing, allowing you to dial it in. And for those that can't quite get to it before the sun goes down, The Golf Village turns on the lights, making the practice facility even more accessible and convenient.

Finally, if you're still struggling to make sense of the ball heading left when it should be going right, head into the pro shop and inquire about lessons. The Golf Village's helpful PGA Teaching Professionals can provide expert guidance on the best methods and practice drills to improve your scores.
