Since great aunts cannot resist pinching dimpled cheeks, the overwhelming number of dimples on a golf ball should confuse their grabby hands—defeating them once and for all. Drive dimpled dandies back into their holes with today's Groupon: for $40, you get 18 holes for two, one cart rental, two small buckets of range balls, and lunch for two people at Cattails Golf Club in Elwood (up to an $88 value).

Cattails Golf Club gratifies golf gurus with 18 holes spread across 130 acres of sweeping greens and majestic forestry. Hone club cadence on Cattails' driving range by splitting two small buckets of golf balls with a sporty sweetheart or streetwise stranger before boarding a motorized buggy for a jaunt along the course's well-manicured bentgrass fairways. Thwack dimpled delights along a challenging terrain rife with conspiring creeks, elevated greens, and sandy traps swimming with cyclopean ball-devouring sand snakes. A hot dog, bag of chips, and small soda sate post-game palates as players luxuriate in the 10,000-square-foot clubhouse, packed with a pub, dining room, and well-scaled pro shop.
