With the simulators at National Road Golf Course, your usual foursome can enjoy a round of golf regardless of how cold the weather gets. However, while you may be able to escape the weather outside, there will be no escaping those dreaded snap-hooks or push-slices because this is as close to real as it gets. Each simulator features advanced software and comes with over 60 courses to choose from. The club-head and ball-tracking technology will give an honest evaluation of your every shot, meaning you'll live both the highs and the lows. Speaking of lows, one consolation for your worst shots: No need to search for your golf ball in the woods, only to find it kicked out into the fairway 20 minutes later.
Some of the world-class courses available include The Preserve in Kenya, Maori Heights in New Zealand, St. Andrews (Old, New and Jubilee) in Scotland and Pebble Beach, Spy Glass Hill and Torrey Pines in sunny California.
You may not miss tracking down the beverage cart for something to drink, either. Luckily, food and drink options available. As for the staff, they are very adept and can help you with anything from joining a league to signing up for lessons. So don't hang up your clubs just yet — instead, call a up a few friends and head over to National Road Golf Course, where you can spend your winter hooking golf balls into the beautiful Pacific Ocean at sunset.
