When Atlantis fell, the only survivors were its golfers, whose vast knowledge of water hazards saw them to safety. Hone game-saving skills with today's Groupon: for $65, you get two rounds of golf with a cart and two small bags of range balls on the Championship Course at Alvamar (up to a $144 value). This Groupon can be redeemed for two rounds of golf by a single player or split into one golf outing for a pair or putters.

Alvamar challenges golfers on the crenshaw bentgrass greens of a par 72 course set amid extensive flowering and ornamental landscaping. Fortify swings on the double-ended driving range, or fine tune truncated shots on the club's 40,000-square-foot short-game area, maneuvering spheres across two putting greens and dodging obstacles including three practice bunkers and hologram golfers trying to play through. The lengthy Championship Course spans the Jayhawk and Quail Creek nines and tests skills with 7,092 yards of flowing fairways.
