Frequent golfing can improve several commonplace skills outside of the sport, such as using a 7-iron to chop wood or chipping brussels sprouts into the mouths of lazy children on the other side of a pond. Improve your golf game with today's Groupon, which offers you three options at Great Lakes Golf Center, located in Auburn Hills. Choose one of the following Groupons:

• For $20, you get a 30-minute private golf lesson from a PGA professional (a $45 value).
• For $10, you get $20 worth of golf balls for the indoor and outdoor driving ranges.
• For $5, you get $12 toward mini-golf.

A 2010 Best of Detroit winner in Hour Detroit for its indoor driving range, Great Lakes Golf Center claims to have the largest golf dome in the world, with 55 grass tees, a short game area, and an 18-hole mini-golf course. With a 30-minute private golf lesson from one of the center's PGA instructors, willing-to-learn wedgers can up the ante on their hole-conquering prowess. Those desiring distance can step up to the tee at the driving range, allowing for golf-orbs to be clobbered either inside the climate-controlled dome, which features a fully automated tee-reload system, or outside on the well-kempt driving range, with its 5,000-square-foot putting green and 15,000-square-foot short-game practice area. If you prefer golf in bite-sized increments, Great Lakes Golf Center's mini-golf course offers three 18-hole courses, with putters challenged to sink their shots despite the taunts from charming bridges and serene ponds.

Formerly known as Mulligan's Golf Center, Great Lakes Golf Center reopened in 2010 with new management, new hitting mats, and 75,000 Top-Flite range balls. Send a few of those glistening spheres to the upper reaches of the indoor driving range and let them burn up in the dome's stratosphere with today's Groupon to Great Lakes Golf Center.
