Fall Into Flavor: Why Indoor Golf Season Belongs at The Local Drive

By October 2, 2025No Comments

The signs are everywhere—crisp mornings, cooler evenings, the smell of rain on the pavement, and the first flakes of snow waiting to make an appearance. Denver and Aurora golfers know what that means: the days of sneaking in an 18-hole afternoon are winding down.

But don’t hang up your clubs just yet. At The Local Drive, we believe golf season never ends—it just moves inside. And unlike outdoor courses, our version of “winter rules” comes with bourbon.

Cocktails First. Golf Second. (But Really, Both Are Great.)

Our TrackMan simulators are world-class, but let’s be honest—you’re also here for the cocktails. Fall brings spiced bourbon creations, crisp apple infusions, and drinks that taste like sweater weather in a glass.

Golf pairs well with cocktails anyway. Handicaps keep golf competitive, and cocktails keep the storytelling competitive—especially when that ‘birdie’ gets upgraded to an ‘eagle’ after two rounds.

When Weather Says “No,” We Say “Fore!”

Outdoor golf means soggy fairways, frozen fingers, and losing three balls in the leaves. Indoor golf means world-famous courses on TrackMan, a cozy seat between swings, and zero time spent yelling “I think it’s in the rough!”

Here, you can tee it up rain, snow, or shine, and keep the friendly competition alive. Just remember: there are three ways to improve your golf game—take lessons, practice constantly… or buy the next round of cocktails. We recommend all three.

Space to Play. Space to Lounge. Space to Celebrate.

Our venues are built bigger than your average simulator bar. Think open spaces, plush seating, and a vibe that blends cocktail lounge polish with clubhouse camaraderie. Perfect for spectating, sipping, or settling debates about whether that was a six or a seven. (Pro tip: if they can’t remember, it was probably an eight.)

Holiday parties? We’ve got you covered. Premium cocktails, premium golf, and plenty of space for the kind of celebrations that end with stories about “the putt that almost dropped.”

And it’s not just about play—our venues pull double duty as workspaces, too. Need a spot for a client presentation or a team huddle? Bring your laptop, plug into our free Wi-Fi, and take advantage of video/audio access for meetings that feel more like happy hours. PowerPoint looks a lot better when the follow-up slide is Pebble Beach.

Two Locations. Same Mile High Spirit.

RiNo (Denver): Industrial chic with cocktail sleek. Post-work swings, late-night hangs, or a holiday party that guarantees a better highlight reel than your office karaoke night.

Stanley Marketplace (Aurora): Spacious, stylish, and perfect for groups who like their events with a side of bragging rights. From fundraisers to friend nights, this spot delivers.

Both locations offer the same Local Drive energy: cheeky, classy, and welcoming to everyone—from scratch golfers to scratch margarita drinkers.

Your New Seasonal Tradition

Think of The Local Drive as your fall and winter clubhouse. Team-building event? Check. Holiday party where the competition is as strong as the cocktails? Absolutely.
