I only know of a few.. as I'm from the Northwest burbs..

White Pines Golf Dome - Bensenville. These guys pinoeered the golf dome business. Great guys here as well.

Addison Links and Tees - Addison. Newer dome, better looking targets, never crazy busy.

Ditka's Sports Complex - Bolingbrook. Stepped foot in there once just to have a look. Looked great.

Poplar Creek - Hoffman Estates. I know they used to have a decent dome, but not sure if they still put it up or not. Worth a call.

There is also on in Oswego out by Aurora.. not sure where you're from, but.. that's available too.

Hope this helps..

In Desplaines they have an outdoor range but all the stalls are heated, so at least you can see your whole ball flight, and stay warm also

Driver: G10 10.5 v2 shaft
3 wood: g10
Irons: I5's green dot
Putter: G5 anser
Wedges: CG12, 52*, 56*Ball: : E6+

Anyone join Golf Nation in Palatine? A buddy of mine told me about it. Sounds like a cool concept. Golfnation.us is the web site. I wish it was closer to me.

I live right next to the place, but IMO the membership dues are a little pricey for what you get.

I live far south of Chicago, thought originally from Orland Park. I'm in Bloomington and we have a heated outdoor range, 300 to the net...and there's an indoor golf center that has those projected virtual courses. They work pretty well for the most part, but the short game and putting is far more difficult than on a real course.

I went to the one in Des Plaines, the Golf Center last winter. Outdoors with heated tee boxes. But you still have to dress warmly. I used lightweight layered clothing to stay warm with out affecting my swing. Not much wind that day so it wasn't too bad.

There's a couple indoor places but they usually no more than 100yds so you don't get true ball flight.

If the wind is low, the outdoor range in Des Plaines, The Golf Center, is the way to go.

I was thinking about joining the winter golf league here. It sounds like what you are thinking about. I can't imagine how chipping and putting actually works however.

They're closed on the weekends and close at 4:30 during the week. I might check it out while i'm on vacation.

I've heard good things about Boggies Indoor Golf Club too. The drive is too far for me though.

I would try Salt Creek in Woodale outdoor driving range in Chicago, that has heaters. Really a nice area and the mats are almost like real grass for your iron shots. 10 bucks I think for all the balls you can hit between 12-6. Weekdays only i think?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.

      Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.
