Winter Driving Range

[Neil4Speed]

Hey Guys,

Wanted to polish up on my swing before spring hits, any of you guys know of a driving range in the NW which is open during the winter?

McCowan's dome, not NW tho lol, is that place even open anymore??

I remember you can hit the back wall of the tent every single hit, but better than in the snow.

domes:

mcgowan's down by chinook
eaglequest at fox hollow


full outdoors there is two:

harvet hills driving range
rcga on glenmore and deerfoot

Since your in the nw your lucky the harvest hills one is open and probably the closest. They only have a 7 heated stalls i believe.

^Those outdoor places are open in the winter??

Yep they are, and it is marvellous ... I hate hitting in the domes.

is it cold when you go?
what kind of heater do they use?
like giant space heaters?
or would it be like hitting out of your living room?

depends on the day... anything below -10 is sketch.

But above that is good. The heaters are like patio heaters but think racked above your head. Most houses use forced air heating but the heaters their are like convection i think?? Pretty much your like a freaking mcdonald's hamburger under a heat lamp ahha.

If it's too cold be careful bringing out the driver and woods don't want to crack the head or anything.

Theres a really cool place that has vitrual golf. Its called Schanks Sports Bar. You have a selection of golf courses to choose from, and you hit in to a screen(kinda like golf town). You can play 18 holes, drink, and eat all at the same time.

Yep i was there three weeks ago when it was like 4 degrees outside.

I asked the guy they said they are open all winter.

It's 12 bucks for a bucket (like most places) and you can buy a 10 pass card for i forget how much.
