Few people play sports during the winter, choosing instead to exercise via ornament-hanging, stuffing meats inside of other meats, and defending their snow forts from migrating kangaroos. Explore the sporting side of the season with today's Groupon: for $12, you get a round of snow golf for four and four hot drinks at Majestic Oaks Golf Club in Ham Lake (a $26 value).

While other athletic clubs hibernate, Majestic Oaks welcomes Old Man Winter's frigid embrace with snow-savvy cheer. Played using golf clubs and a fuzzy tennis ball, snow golf provides nine holes of family-spanning fun and takes less than an hour to complete. Traversing the course, most of whose holes are under 100 yards, provides a reason to enjoy a brisk winter afternoon with friends while getting some light exercise. Hot chocolate and coffee (a value of $1.50 each) can keep your foursome of snow-golfers warm or can be used to punish snowmen who overindulge in mulligans.
