Like suntans and long-distance relationships, golf skills disappear if you don't keep working at them. Keep the magic alive with today's deal: for $31, you get an 18-hole round of golf (up to a $62 value) at The Divide Golf Club in Matthews. This Groupon is valid for tee times scheduled after 1:00 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday or anytime Monday through Friday. All pin-seeking Groupon customers must schedule tee times at least one week in advance.

The Divide—a name derived from the course's position within two counties—offers lush greenery, rolling hills, carefully crafted ponds, and impeccably manicured greens. Golfers of all skill levels are welcomed to blast off dimpled cosmonauts from one of four tee-box locations featured at each hole. After breaking into the vast Bermuda fairways, foresighted fore-shouters can implement a wide range of clubs—the scorecard pencils in a smorgasbord of game changing par 3's and par 5's, many of which are known for culling birdies, eagles, and sleeping snowmen from their respective numerical nests. Off the beaten cart path, The Divide pampers players with pro shop merchandise, driving range facilities, and on-site dining options at The Grill, including snacks, meals, and liquid performance enhancers posing as cocktails.

Reviews

Seven GolfLink reviewers gave The Divide Golf Club an average of 3.5 stars. Here's what they had to say:

• I like this course because of the layout: no funky hole designs because they ran out of real estate. Holes 2 and 18 can be card wreckers and they''re [sic] par-5''s. Bunkers are inconsistent at best and unfortunately that day I experienced a number of them. – BlackLabsRule
• This course is nice. Have some ugly bunkers that dont have nice sand and greens are alittle ot [sic] of shape and slow. but teeboxes, and fairways are in great shape and the rough areas are long and present a good challenge when you are not hitting the fairway. – AFreeman12
