Miniature golf, like a good thriller novel, consists of surprising slants, introduces distracting angles, and often ends somewhere between a farmhouse and the Eiffel Tower. Read the fairways and analyze the angles with today's Groupon: for $11, you get four rounds of mini golf and $5 worth of batting-cage tokens (up to a $25 total value) at Westerville Mini Golf and Batting Cages, located in Westerville.

Westerville Mini Golf weaves angular fairways and absurdly sized obstacles throughout two 18-hole mini-golf courses (children younger than 2 years are free). Green fairways guide putters through a forest of ornamental flowers and alongside an 80,000-gallon water pond that threatens to swallow wayward putts and egotistical golfers. Chipping, chopping, and tapping their way through the course, golfers journey through 18 holes while accompanied by the pleasant sounds of water, birds, and grown men arguing with windmills.

After the round of golf, trade the club for a bat and take a swing at an airborne ball in one of eight batting cages. Sluggers can swing towards slow-pitch softballs or try their hand at clobbering baseballs speeding anywhere from 25 to 80 miles per hour. $5 gets approximately 6 batting cage tokens, each worth a turn of 14 pitches.
