GOLF It! is swinging back into action with a new look driving range following overwhelming demand in the venue's opening weeks.
The golf facility will reopen on Saturday, December 2 featuring a newly insulated, heated Hub to let players and families enjoy the Big Feed's food trucks in a cosy indoor space complete with a fireplace.
There will be plenty of festive action including Santa's favourite films to hot espresso cocktails, plus Santa Claus himself throughout December.

Following it's opening in August, the team at Golf It!, led by Russ Smith, have invested heavily in upgrading the surface at the range after overwhelming traffic due to demand in the first eight weeks of the venue.
It comes after more than 60,000 visitors and two million balls were hit in that time - with the target for the first year being four million balls - meaning the constant ball collection required impacted the grounds.
The ground now has improved drainage and groundworks, as well as four high-tech robots to collect the balls.
Russ said: "Since opening in August the reaction from the people of Glasgow in general and especially our friends in the local community has been mind-blowing.
“No-one could have hoped for let alone predicted the numbers we had through the doors and hitting balls all day every day – so we had to act.
"It’s vital to us to have the absolute best of facilities at all times for our players and visitors so we have invested heavily to ensure things stay that way.
"The range is looking beautiful – we’re really excited to show it off to everyone and we’re thrilled to be open for bookings as normal from Saturday."

He continued: "It’s really exciting to be fully operational again and we’re looking forward to welcoming familiar and new players to Golf It! this weekend – everything is ready to go and we have added a few little new touches we think people will really love and appreciate.
"Plus our friends and partners at Big Feed have properly outdone themselves – it’s going to be a Christmas wonderland.
"We have so much happening through December to really bring the festive season alive for our players– from Christmas movies to Santa’s grotto, plus Christmas quiz nights on Wednesdays, free board games, live music Fridays and special seasonal cocktails and menus from the best street food traders in the country.
"Golf It! is Glasgow’s new home of Christmas – so come along and kick start your festive celebrations with us."
