What You'll Get
Much like confronting a former bully at a high-school reunion, playing golf requires an efficient swing and at least three friends to cheer you on. Take a stand against a shank-producing stroke with today's Groupon: for $39, you get 18 holes of golf for two people, a cart rental, and two buckets of range balls at Crescent Farms Golf Club in Crescent (up to a $105 value).
Crescent Farms Golf Club (formerly The Players Club at St. Louis) challenges golfers with 27 semi-private holes that have lengthened fairways and newly reconstructed greens. The scenic 18-hole course at Crescent Farms stretches just more than 7,000 yards from the back tees (the course has five sets of tees to accommodate players of varying skill levels), and the newly-lengthened Zoysia grass fairways gently slope through majestic trees and lakes and creeks filled with floating basketball hoops. Water comes into play on 14 of the 18 holes, including the signature 8th hole—a challenging 163-yard par 3 that requires golfers to avoid a lake in order to land on a two-tiered bent grass green surrounded by trees and three sand bunkers. Warm up before the round with two buckets of range balls and by microwaving your golf shoes.
Crescent Farms pampers hardworking athletes with a newly remodeled clubhouse, complete with plush new furniture and the Roberts Grill. The fully equipped pro shop provides players with high-end apparel and gear, and certified teaching professionals school athletes with comprehensive lessons about golf and disciplining a child.
Crescent Farms Golf Club's rates fluctuate throughout the week; plan ahead to make sure you're redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.

About Crescent Farms Golf Club
The Stallion and The Colt are the two courses at Crescent Farm Golf Club, the former being an 18-hole titan that spans more than 7,000 yards, and the latter a 9-hole, par-30 executive course. At The Stallion, golfers test their meddle amid heavily wooded areas, native grasses, and a dozen water hazards. The course's signature hole—the par-three eighth—features a tee shot that must clear a tree-lined pond. The architect behind the main course must have had a flair for the dramatic, as both nines close with the course's two most-difficult holes.
At The Colt course, small greens make approach shots a challenge, compensating for the modest length of certain holes. But while the two layouts offer different golfing experiences, they both weave through gently rolling terrain that makes walking or pushing a cart full of bunker sand across either course a breeze.
