Skyland Golf Course is not just an 18-hole public course, but a family tradition. The third generation of the Rhodes family currently oversees operations, keeping the well-maintained grounds and the welcoming atmosphere up to the standards of the regulars who have played the links for decades. At 6,115 yards with a slope of 116, the par-72 course isn't an especially difficult test, but it does hide some tricky surprises within its condensed length. Water comes into play on three holes, and the wind above the tree line frequently knocks shots off-course. Meanwhile, some bunkers are filled with sand while others are left grassy, giving golfers fits when a sand wedge refuses to risk getting grass stains.

Beginner yoga classes introduce fresh flexers to the basic postures, while schooling them in proper alignment of the body and basic breath control. Newly experienced yogis can strengthen their stretchy spines and achieve ultimate relief and relaxation by finally being able to reach elusive back itches. Power yoga is a challenging workout for students looking to become a master of bending brawn that combines strength, flow, and breath work within an 80-degree studio. This Groupon can also be used towards Pilates classes, which concentrate on improving strength and flexibility through mat work and controlled breathing. Classes occasionally incorporate the use of equipment, such as a balance ball and foam bricks resembling chocolate bars that are kept just out of reach. Check out the full schedule here.

A quick breather. Just a few seconds. Then boom—it’s back to punching, and kicking, and dedicating whatever is left in the tank to the next exercise. That’s how the intense, full-body workouts at Adventure Mixed Martial Arts go down. They’re fast, and they’re a constant challenge. At the same time, though, those workouts build self-confidence and camaraderie between participants in addition to strength and endurance. The facility’s instructors go a long way in helping that happen, too, through personalized attention. They take care to recognize that mostly everyone is there not to compete, necessarily, but to simply look and feel better.

Arching over the rolling hills of Seville, the fairways at Deer Pass Golf Course's 18-hole layout stretch across 6,012 yards of well-manicured terrain. Though scenic sights abound throughout the course, golfers will likely leave with the seventh hole most firmly etched in their memory, as the 155-yard par 3 requires players to launch tee shots onto a green surrounded entirely by water and populated by a wrinkly Gilligan. Before taking to the breezy links, clubbers can prep their short game at the practice green or fuel up with a snack and refreshments at the on-site snack bar. Visitors can also peruse the club's pro shop, which is filled with racks of stylish shirts and accessories from top brands, many of which are emblazoned with Deer Pass's logo or missing kitty flyers.
