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 $15, you get 18 holes of golf at McNary Golf Club in Keizer (a $34 value). This popular course, formerly Governor and Senator Charles McNary's family farm, stretches across 150 acres of meadows and is pleasingly accented by lakes and well-maintained fairways. To up the atmospheric ante, the course also boasts the babbling beauty of Clagget Creek, which crosses over four different holes and runs along the oaks, walnuts, redwoods, and pine trees that line the fairways. McNary's signature hole, the par 5 18th, whimsically winds around trees and the lake, culminating in a large green next to a moat-like section of the creek where a castle guarded by fire-breathing caddies once stood. Thanks to excellent drainage and sprinkler systems, plus more than 4 miles of cart paths, McNary remains one of western Oregon's most playable winter courses. While essential to performing a cartwheel, a cart is not included with today's Groupon. Scheduling a tee time is recommended.
