Forced to cut its cultural budget or face a total loss of its nation's heritage, Scottish Parliament settled on miniaturizing golf—a fortunate last-minute substitute for miniaturizing kilts. Celebrate the Scots' pared-down pastime with today's Groupon: for $6, you get 18 holes of miniature golf for two at the Maple Creek Golf & Athletic Club (a $12 value).

The Maple Creek Golf & Athletic Club's newly upgraded miniature-golf facilities offer two full courses of diminutive putting in an ample recreational complex. Players can direct orbs around angular obstacles or watch the action from a party deck situated next to the course. Recently replaced carpets on every putting fairway guarantee smooth breaks as golfers line up shots to bounce off of walls or gusts of wind for holes-in-one. Pairs can rest at tables alongside the links to enjoy the club's sylvan atmosphere or shoo away pintsize caddies trying to nibble on their shoelaces.
