The Week Ahead: Play indoor golf at Falcon Ridge (Photos)

Playing indoor golf on the latest generation HD golf simulators at Falcon Ridge Golf Course is the answer for players wondering where they could hole up and hole out now that the dog days of winter have set in.

General manager Steve Spratt and his staff are welcoming golfers of all ability levels to the south-end facility where there are two new offers on the table.

“Foursomes can play for only $100 in total when they book screen times for between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.,” said Spratt. “And for junior players 18 and under, there’s a 15% screen fee discount for individual golfers.

The kitchen staff will be pitching in too, with a special menu being served on Valentine’s Day.

“We’ve created a magnificent four-course meal on Valentine’s Day for $35 per person and live entertainment will set a memorable mood for our guests,” said Spratt.
