Top Indoor Driving Ranges In Denver

In states like Texas, California, Arizona and Florida, golf is played year-round. In Colorado, we aren't so lucky. Although we have 300 days of sunshine per year, our grounds are often blanketed with snow during the months spanning from November to April, making it tough to hit the course. Thankfully, we've adapted, and our city is home to more than a few indoor driving ranges, making it possible to continue to improve your game even throughout the winter months. Here are five of the best indoor driving ranges around the Denver-metro area.
APG Links Golf Club

APG Links is a leader in golf here in Colorado, and for good reason. They have everything from leagues and tournaments to lessons and club fitting. Their prices are fairly reasonable, and they have a top-of-the-line simulator that will help their experts analyze your swing and help you shave strokes off your game. If snow ruined your tee time, you need some expert help, or you're just looking for something new to try, APG is the place to go.

Sportz Skillz is another great indoor golf facility to check out in the winter months. They offer both public and private training sessions with certified professionals that will take your game to the next level. They also use a special vest, called the K-Vest, which has sensors in three different areas across your body, making it easier to diagnose problems within your swing, and give you a visual representation of what's happening so the instructors can properly fix it.  They even have a simulator on which you can play some of the PGA Tour's most popular courses, such as Pebble Beach and Augusta, among others. If you're looking to shave major points off of your game, Sportz Skillz is well worth the drive.
