A golf-training ground replete with an expansive driving range and a 36-hole miniature-golf course, Golf Center of Arlington helps golfletes foster control of dimpled orbs in both aerial and earthbound shots. Saunter up to the smooth, undulated surface of the putting course for a lesson in the kinetic dynamics of rolling spheres. The refreshing mist of seven waterfalls and the gentle burble of intervening canals provide an elysian setting for a fruitful bonding session between player, bearded alter ego, and putter.

Pulverizing of tiny things with metal clubs continues at the driving range, where 65 hitting areas provide emerald launch pads for an ample selection of range balls eager to graze the stratosphere. A combination of synthetic and grass tees afford ideal hitting conditions for players averse to loose dirt and those still trying to divot their way to China. Distant practice greens at precisely marked yardages help clubbers dial in their swings with every club in their bag of trick sticks. Incandescent lights and a tract of covered hitting stalls facilitate swing-honing sessions after sundown and during perilous storms issued by Mother Nature to avenge particularly hurtful ball marks.
