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 $45, you get a round of golf for two at Le Nouveau Club de Golf Gatineau, located in Aylmer, Quebec (up to a $90 value). This Groupon is valid for any tee time Monday–Thursday or after 1 p.m. Friday–Sunday.

Le Nouveau Club de Golf Gatineau's championship course sprawls across more than 7,000 yards of recently renovated fairways. Front and back tees allow club sluggers of all experience levels to enjoy the challenge of 18 signature holes, dotted with bunkers and ponds filled with ball-scavenging selkies. Test swing power on the lengthy, par 5 ninth hole or curve zingers past the willow trees of the 17th. Canadian champion Graham Cooke lent his fairway-whispering skills to the task of redesigning the course, which includes well-manicured bent greens and argyle-sock-washing stations.
