The Winter Golf School

Has anyone else been to the winter golf school? I heard there was virtual golf so got a few buddies together and went for a round, the system was great with probably a hundred courses to choose from. The hitting mat has simulated fairway, rough, sand and buried sand lies. The round took about 4 hours for our foursome so for about $5/hour that's pretty good entertainment value. We also chit chatted with "Dave" (the owner) and looked around before and after our round and there has to be a good 15-20 hitting stations, a putting surface that's huge (not your typical indoor/outdoor carpet on a hard base, some younger kids were chipping onto it when we got there and the putting surface reacted very similar to a real green, think Dave said it has a sand base), video analysis and of course you can get professional lessons.
Besides the golf there was also a Foosball table, ping pong table and pool table. I also overheard some guys talking about a virtual golf tournament coming up there this weekend??? Definitely gonna look into that.
I guess its Brandon's version of the golf dome in Winnipeg. Gonna be nice to be able to hit balls all winter long!
