Until the game’s officials lift their ban on the use of go-karts, tackling, and trained attack squirrels, players will have to continue to rely on technique to win at golf. Boost your game the old-fashioned way with today's Groupon: for $60, you get one round of golf for two people, plus cart rental at Prairie Bluff Public Golf Club in Lockport (up to a $120 value). Today’s deal is valid Monday–Friday all day or weekends after 12 p.m.

Prairie Bluff’s finely manicured fairways blanket more than 237 acres of scenic, rolling hills. Bring a friend, opponent, or favorite life-sized marionette to tour 18 holes bestrewn with pockets of lush prairie grass, 10 shimmering lakes, and more than 40 hazardous bunkers. The serenely beautiful course bestows an exciting challenge upon pros, and each hole sports four sets of tees to make the greens accessible to golfers of all skill levels.

Prairie Bluff strictly adheres to USGA course rules during play, and players should plan on leaving jeans and T-shirts at home in favor of more appropriate golfing attire, such as slacks, collared shirts, and plaid Zubas pants. When finished zipping around the scenic grounds in their motorized Flintstone car, players can drop by the 10,000-square-foot clubhouse to enjoy a bite at the on-site restaurant or stop in to the pro shop to engage in conversation with like-minded links lovers or sharply dressed mannequins.
