Salt Creek Golf Retreat's spacious swath hosts 18 challenging golf holes with an overall par of 71. Mounted astride their GPS-equipped rolling steeds, heroes will zigzag across Salt Creek seven times as they chase the elusive dream of a perfect plaid outfit across 18 greens, zinging dimpled enemy spheres across sparkling lakes, white sand bunkers, and—hopefully—into small dark holes (a $34.50–$44.50 value/person). After besting a bevy of balls, players can retire to the clubhouse to feast on a lunch of a hot dog, soda, and chips (a $6 value/person) while eye-eating Salt Creek's scenic greensward, which borders the lush forests of noted photo-bait Brown County State Park. Today's deal also keeps quadruplets in the loop—fraternal foursomes can procure fairway togetherness by purchasing two Groupons.
