Long ago, Scottish polo players longed for a game where they could explore scenic terrain, ride an obedient mechanical horse, and wear more courageously plaid knickers. Marvel in their subsequent invention with today's Groupon: for $40, you get a round of golf for two and cart rental (up to an $86 value) at Shadowmoss Plantation Golf Club on Dunvegan Drive. Shadowmoss is also offering a $30-per-round promotion for county residents in September, but this Groupon still offers you a better deal.
Featuring up to 6,701 yards of manicured greens and velveteen fairways, the course at Shadowmoss is carved from an original Charleston plantation. Whether toting space-age equipment or ham-handed wooden clubs whetted in the tenebrosity of night, golfers can enjoy the scenic views while saving themselves from leg strain in a comfy golf cart. Designed to challenge the most skillful of players, as well as chronic swing slicers, Shadowmoss provides an enjoyable divot-dodging experience for all participants. Soak up the sun while zeroing in on pins guarded by riddle-obsessed Sphinxes before boasting about your scores at the full-service snack bar and lounge.
This Groupon is valid any time Monday through Friday and after 11 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Reviews
Shadowmoss Plantation Golf Club was written about on WorldGolf in 2009. The golf club received 3.5 stars from Golf Digest editors:
- Almost 40 years old, this semi-private course finds way to stay fresh and challenging. It's a laid-back, casual course with golf for everyone, where players are warmly welcomed and invited to come again. Shadowmoss Plantation has some great features, primarily its greens and bunkers - a good chance to find out if you have a sand game. It's a course that accommodates every type of golfer with ways around hazards and a variety of tees. – Lisa Allen, WorldGolf

Golf Life
Shadowmoss is so named because, unlike most plants, it flourishes in complete darkness and often cruelly mimics the movements of those who happen upon a patch of it. What are some other unusual plants and animals one may encounter on the golf course?
- Golf-ball-dissolving pitcher plants
- Adorable sand-trap-sized version of the monster from Dune
- Precocious teenaged thief who keeps trying to pick up your clubs and then inexplicably expects you to tip him for his efforts
- Sasquatch, although not as often now that he has kids
- Fun fact: the "green" is actually a pool of water with a dense surface coating of algae, so be careful where you step.
