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 $45, you get a round of golf, cart rental, and practice balls at Grey Rock Golf Club (up to a $100 value).

Created by acclaimed architect Jay Morrish nearly two decades ago, Grey Rock's course overflows with oak-lined fairways, lush foliage, and emerald greens over its idyllic 160-acre span. Unleash every cudgel in your arsenal to conquer the course's challenging dogleg turns, or adopt a leisurely pace that allows time to stroll through recently renovated bunkers and greet each blade of grass by name. After the final putt, golfers can hone their swings at the driving range, clink clubs within a capacious clubhouse lit by a pair of stately hearths, or sip on celebratory suds at Putter’s Grill. Top brands such as Titleist, FootJoy, and Adidas adorn the aisles of a full-service pro shop, which stocks a panoply of golf gear, signature apparel, and pole seedlings that grow into full flagsticks if planted in garbage disposals.
