Golf enthusiasts, along with those who have never picked up a club, have a new place in Kalispell to take a few shots on virtual greens.
The Clubhouse Lounge sports bar opened this summer in the former Sears store location on U.S. 2. Owners Levi LaPrath and Jarred Griffis were looking to take their shared passion as avid golfers and provide an indoor golf experience.
“Most places you go and have a drink, but there's nowhere you can have that drink and then hang out with friends,” LaPrath said. “We wanted a place where you could hang out and not have to leave. You can play golf and hang out.”
