Miniature versions often present significant advantages—take the TV version of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, the running time of which perfectly matches the average time between sour-gummy-worm cravings. Shrink your golf game down to size with today's Groupon: for $15, you get an all-day pass for two to Pirate's Island Adventure Golf and Pirate's Cove (up to a $31.50 value). Choose from three Pirate's Island locations, in Celebration, Daytona Beach Shores, and Kissimmee on Vine Street, and two Pirate's Cove locations, in Ormond Beach and Kissimmee on Florida Plaza Boulevard. Children younger than 3 play for free at all Pirate's Island and Pirate's Cove locations.

Pirate's Island and Pirate's Cove plunge putters deep into a thicket of thieving pirates, buried treasure, and stowaways tangled in rigging. Players select an appropriately sized putting club and a golf ball of any color, asserting individuality while creating polychromatic turf art. Putt through two 18-hole courses (one at the Daytona Beach Shores location), skirting shimmering waterfalls that conceal skeletons and spelunking convocations behind translucent veils. The golf course abuts a glorious gift shop, and snacks are available for additional gold.
