If you’ve lived in the Deep Creek Lake area for a while, you probably think you’ve seen it all. The boating, kayaking, wakesurfing… Maybe it’s starting to feel a bit “been there, done that.” Personally, my family lives for a day on the water, but sometimes, I need an evening on dry land (especially as temperatures drop).

That said, if you’re looking for a change of pace this fall, you’ll love one of our newest local businesses: The Bogey Club Golf Lounge.

The Bogey Club is an indoor golf simulator and lounge, conveniently located in Oakland. They’re open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which means no more waiting for sunrise to hit the green. You can practice any time you want, day or night!

I love that this spot hosts a full-swing golf simulator, a lounge area, a billiard table, and a full kitchen. Plus, it’s BYOB, and you can even bring your favorite takeout food to enjoy. That’s a pretty sweet deal if you ask me.

(My personal pick: takeout from nearby Brenda’s Pizzeria and an ice-cold beverage from my Yeti. Hard to beat a classic!)

The Bogey Club offers memberships and has a few leagues to join this fall, so be sure to check them out before they fill up. This is also an excellent place to host your next event of nine people or more. It’s easy to book online, and the staff is really friendly.

So, whether you’re an amateur or a golf fanatic like me, this is a great way to move your body and have some fun with your friends. And if you want to improve your golf game before making this a group thing, take advantage of their golf lessons! The barrier to entry is ridiculously low, so bring your sense of humor and have a good time.
