Golf, like marriage, requires hard work, patience, and the courage to stare down an alligator on a daily basis. Confront amphibious predators with today’s Groupon: for $21, you get two 18-hole rounds of golf with cart rental at Dunedin Stirling Links in Dunedin (up to a $42 value).

The picturesque greens of Dunedin Stirling Links' 27-acre course challenge golfers with 18 holes of eye-pleasing play nestled among scenes of natural beauty. The par 3 course hones sphere-slinging skills with small greens and water hazards and highlights the coastal surroundings and plaid fairways characteristic of a Scottish-style layout. Players can hop into golf carts to zoom from each ball borough to open plain, enjoying the cool breeze off the marsh as they ride. The course's scenic setting is peppered with natural marvels, such as copses of shady pine trees and nests of ospreys⎯the golf ball's only natural enemy.

Dunedin Stirling Links' rates fluctuate throughout the day.
