Two HD simulators give golfers a break from Old Man Winter at Falcon Ridge

Indoor golf season is about to kick in big-time at Falcon Ridge Golf Course now that the holidays have become a happy memory.

General manager Steve Spratt and his staff are welcoming golfers of all ability levels to enjoy themselves on the south-end facility’s two High Definition Golf simulators.

“The machines are loaded with 23 of the world’s most famous golf courses,” said Spratt. “Banff Springs, Bay Hill, Bethpage Black, Doral, Casa De Campo, Kiawah Island, Nicklaus North, Pacific Dunes, Pebble Beach, Pinehurst No. 2, Spanish Bay, Spyglass Hill and Torrey Pines are just some of the tracks players can take on.”

The simulators not only give local golfers the opportunity to play what the PGA and LPGA’s best stroke players are familiar with, they can also be set up for best-ball, alternate shot and other formats.
