Things To Do In Huntsville

Though their 27 holes share rolling fairways and the shade of oaks, magnolias, dogwoods, and azaleas, River Plantation Country Club’s three courses all boast their own challenges, which lie ready to shape well-rounded golfers. The nine-hole courses, named Augusta, Biloxi, and Charleston, all feature their fair share of tricky shots and holes flanked by streams, dotted with trees, or blocked by sample-size manhole covers. Players can further hone their skills on a 50-slot driving range, a putting green, and a short-game playing field complete with a faux sand bunker and chipping green. After practice or gameplay, golfers can stop into the River Plantation Grille to top off human or lifelike-android energy reserves with burgers, wraps, quesadillas, and deli sandwiches.

Weekend cruises along the lake. The occasional night fishing trip. While many people would like to own a boat for those reasons, the expenses of maintaining and storing a boat year-round can be daunting. Carefree Boat Rental eliminates the tedious bits of boat ownership by lending its well-maintained fleet to members by the hour. Inspected weekly by a dock staff using a 50-point checklist, each boat is also equipped with US Coast Guard-required safety equipment such as flares, approved flotation devices, and an emergency stash of Cheetos. The crew also takes care of regular maintenance, such as oil changes, hull cleaning, and annual bottom painting.

Nestled at the southern point of Lake Conroe, Nauti-Dayz Boat Rentals facilitates fun with a fleet of nautical vessels. Outfitted with 90-horsepower Honda motors, pontoon boats welcome passengers for low-speed floats around the lake’s placid waters. MerCruiser motors send ski boats ripping across the waves, towing skiers, tubers, and wakeboarders in their frothy wakes. The shop also rents waverunners that seat up to two passengers and reproduce the high-speed thrill of riding a motorcycle across a full swimming pool. All rentals include complimentary fuel and life jackets.

Star Cinema Grill entertains screen-gazers with first-run films while simultaneously serving grill-style food and drinks to sate senses that can’t enjoy movies. Visitors can click on the now showing page to find a film before settling into a comfortable seat with a large popcorn and prepare to be wowed by jaw-dropping action, tear-evoking romance, or nightmare-inducing preshow cell-phone warnings. Although not included in this Groupon, Star Cinema Grill's wait staff will bring food and beverages to your table, so you can order dinner, sip a glass of foreign wine, or enjoy a domestic brew without having to leave the theater to brew your own.

With the boat storage deal, owners can back their sailboat or power boat into one of the 10'x25' stalls, then shop for necessities—from ice and drinks to fuel and cleaning supplies—in the centrally located convenience store. The half-day pontoon rental gets 11–12 people gas and buoyancy for up to four hours of recreational boating, ideal for exploring the picturesque Lake Conroe, a 21-mile-long lake rife with boating, swimming, fishing, underwater chess tournaments, and jet skiing. Customers may apply the value of this Groupon toward a larger stall for storage or a full-day pontoon rental if they so choose. As a service to boaters and the ecosystem, Lakeview Marina offers complimentary recycling of a reusable mess of wares; check the website for a list of acceptable items.

Freedom Boat Club's expert staff transforms inlanders into inboaters without the maintenance, refueling, and storage hassles of watercraft ownership. Up to four people can learn key nautical skills such as tying knots, docking in the wind, and digesting saltwater from one of the company's midshipmen prior to taking a vessel out for a full day of aqueous amusement. Both the Lake Conroe and the Clear Lake locations operate an armada consisting of multifarious types of marine movers, including ski boats, fishing vessels, and pontoons.
