Since great aunts cannot resist pinching dimpled cheeks, the overwhelming number of dimples on a golf ball should confuse their grabby hands—defeating them once and for all. Drive dimpled dandies back into their holes with today's Groupon: for $27, you get 18 holes of golf (up to a $30 value, depending on day and tee time), a bag of balls (an $8 value), and golf cart rental (a $16 value) for one at Paradise Pointe Golf Complex (up to a $54 value), located in Smithville. The deal is valid anytime Monday through Friday, and after 12 p.m. on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

Paradise Pointe Golf Complex has been operating its two challenging 18-hole courses adjacent to sparkling Smithville Lake for more than 25 years. Choose between two courses for your 18 holes of golf—for a formidable challenge, golfers can take on The Outlaw course, guiding their golf balls past trees in the fairways, deep bunkers, and occasionally the ghost of Jesse James. Or they can pursue The Posse, a scenic 18 holes, rich with panoramic lake views, wooded wildlife areas, and vigilante mobs. Included are a bag of balls and a golf cart, ensuring ease of transportation and a suitable supply of orbs to replace fly-aways or petulantly striking spheres.

A day on the greens can function as a refreshing escape from the confines of a cubicle, a car wash, or a costume with a stuck zipper. Take this chance to flee toward the lush foliage and wandering wildlife of northern Kansas City, or gift this Groupon to a golf fanatic who has resorted to chipping cookies into the open mouths of sleeping dogs while he awaits his next five-iron fix. Call ahead to make a reservation for golf at Paradise Pointe Golf Complex.

This Groupon is not valid for tournaments, outings, or with other offers.
