Denver is one of the sunniest cities in the USA, allowing golf courses to stay open all year. That said, temperatures go as low as 16°F on average in winter (5,280 feet above sea level nonetheless), and even if it doesn't snow as much as in the nearby Rocky Mountains, The Mile High City averages 57 inches of snow per year, making golf a bit tricky sometimes.
That's when golf simulators come in and save the day. We all know how bad blading a shot hurts the hands when it's cold outside! Whether you're looking for a warmer place to play golf in the low season or a fun sports bar to hang out with your golf buddies after work, here are our top five best indoor golf venues in Denver, Colorado.
