Like painting a portrait or fixing a computer, completing a round of golf is always more impressive when it’s done in the pouring rain. Enjoy equally impressive fair-weathered fores with today's Groupon: for $25, you get two 18-hole rounds of golf with a cart (a $50 value) and a $10 lunch voucher at Cardinal Hills Golf Course in Selma (a $60 total value).

Cardinal Hills Golf Course unfolds across 6,338 yards of kempt corridors sculpted into lush, tree-lined terrain. Enlist a fellow linksman in a four-wheeled jaunt around the grassy grounds, sending balls soaring while avoiding the threat of territorial trees, greedy greenside bunkers, or kleptomaniacal pond frogs. Although lengthy greens such as the 550-yard 17th hole challenge driver distance, Cardinal Hills' three tee options help duffers of all club-flailing fortitude surmount verdant juggernauts. The course's proximity to the White River—which is visible but not in play—brings golfers into contact with wildlife, delivering a sense of oneness with nature and a chance to study raccoons’ short game. After traversing the earthen playground, golfers recapitulate each of their shots over grill fare such as a bratwurst with kraut ($4.75), a sudsy can of beer ($3), or a zesty plate of nachos ($3.75).
