What You'll Get
Long ago, Scottish polo players longed for a game where they could explore scenic terrain, ride an obedient mechanical horse, and wear more courageously plaid knickers. Marvel in their subsequent invention with today's Groupon: for $25, you get one 45-minute private golf lesson and one large bucket of driving range balls at Jimmy Mac's Golf Range (a $59.50 value). During a hands-on private lesson, PGA professional Jimmy McMullen will putt would-be golf pros and casual gamers into sharper form. Defenseless golf gladiators can arm themselves with the clubs provided at their lessons, which are held year-round on a private tee. Jimmy Mac's Golf Range sports 25,000 square feet of Bermuda grass tees, Bermuda grass shorts, and plenty of pitching greens where iron wielders can put their recently absorbed tutelage into practice with a large bucket of 115 golf balls. Check out website for more information, and contact Jimmy Mac's Golf Range to schedule an appointment.

About Smiley’s Golf and Learning Center
When they took over Jimmy Mac’s Golf Range, PGA professional Brad “Smiley” Latimer and his wife Pam knew they had their work cut out for them. The couple dove right in: they resurfaced the miniature golf course, illuminated its brick-lined pathways with nearly 100 solar lights, acquired a FlightScope Launch Monitor for lessons, and stocked on the driving range with new Titleist and Callaway balls. Even after completing these renovations, they continue to revamp the facilities. The 18-hole mini-golf course now features two cascading waterfalls, babbling brooks that wend along turf fairways, and new putters that send colorful golf balls into holes or to the one-eyed pirate living under the course bridge to fulfill his dream of a new ocular orb.
A 325-yard driving range showcases 25,000 square feet of Bermuda grass tees and 20 artificial turf hitting stations featuring laser yardage readers. The range has covered and uncovered stations, as well as lights that let golfers swing even after the sun has started to snore. Lessons provide the instructional guidance of a professional while taking advantage of the center’s practice bunker and chipping and pitching greens, developing swings dependable enough to take down rabid ball washers.
