Grand Geneva's award-winning golf resort presents two 18-hole championship golf courses, each meticulously designed by some of golf’s top architects, including Jack Nicklaus, to embody the lush, rolling landscape of southern Wisconsin. The Brute, a particularly challenging, immaculately manicured par 72 course, stretches for more than 7,000 yards, laying claim to 68 bunkers, massive, rolling greens, and an international space station on hole nine. Meanwhile, The Highlands course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and famed architect Pete Dye, boasts 18 holes of newly renovated bent-grass terrain that snakes and winds throughout a Scottish-style design, offering undulating greens and difficult pot bunkers throughout.
The courses' new state-of-the-art GPS yardage systems allow golfers to accurately gauge the remaining distance to the pin, and the fully stocked pro shop provides all the equipment and accessories golfers may need, except for the rare iced-tea-and-lemonade potion that Arnold Palmer used to become a scratch golfer. The refreshment-cart service can, however, replenish players in the midst of a game, and Links Bar & Grill serves up delectable edibles to refuel golfers depleted from passive-aggressive putt-and-strut celebrations.
Rates fluctuate throughout the day.

The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
