Tee Box Indoor Golf Club — Ann Arbor

It’s not every day you get the chance to play Pebble Beach without being in California — unless you pick up today’s feature: $12 for One Hour of Simulator Golf at Tee Box Indoor Golf Club in Ann Arbor ($35 Value. Good Any Day, Any Time. Expires January 15, 2015.)

We have all heard about the simulated golf experience. But you probably wonder, how realistic could it be? The only way to know for sure is to try it, and today is your lucky day. To put your mind at ease right away: Yes, it is the next best thing to actually being out on the course in person (and if you hate waiting for the slow group in front of you to line up their fourth putt, it may be even better).

With the simulators at Tee Box Golf, your usual foursome can enjoy a round of golf regardless of how cold that Michigan 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.

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 Tee Box Golf, where you can spend your winter hooking golf balls into the beautiful Pacific Ocean at sunset.
