$45 for a Golf Outing at Riverfront Golf Club in Suffolk (Up to $192.50 Value)

Golf parallels life in that the only way to escape rough patches is through aggressively swinging a club at something. Power through obstacles with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get a golf outing at Riverfront Golf Club in Suffolk (up to a $192.50 total value). The outing includes the following items: Three 18-hole rounds of golf (up to a $49.50 value each) Three buckets of driving range balls (an $8 value each) One cart fee (a $20 value). Cart rental is only included for the first round of golf. Players must pay an additional $20 fee for each subsequent round. Famed course architect Tom Doak sculpted Riverfront Golf Club’s 18-hole course through a scenic expanse of lush, waterfront terrain along the Nansemond River. Forgiving fairways characterize the course, providing ample landing space for shots that bisect the towering oaks, sycamores, and ball-hungry squirrels that loom in the long-grass rough. The grassy monolith seamlessly incorporates natural marshes, waterways, and native tall grasses into its layout, as all but three holes are framed by a natural landmark on at least one side. Rounds conclude with breathtaking flair, as players must contend with the 500-yard, par 5 18th hole , where second shots must clear an immense pond that takes up the entire fairway on the way to reaching the green in regulation. Players receive a bucket of driving range balls for each round, and the deal includes cart rental for the first round. Carts must be rented for the final two rounds for two additional $20 cart fees.

$20 for $40 Worth of European Bistro Fare at Bistro 324 at The Renaissance Room in Virginia Beach

One of the great simple pleasures of traveling abroad is stumbling upon a restaurant frequented by locals, followed closely by bathing in gelato and loudly explaining why everything in America is better. Replicate that feeling with today’s Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of European bistro fare at Bistro 324 at The Renaissance Room . Each weeknight, The Renaissance Room’s stately event space transforms into Bistro 324, where talented chefs construct nightly changing menus of European-inspired bistro fare, tailored to suit the culinary tastes of its American guests. Cheese tortellini splashes into waves of cream sauce and hops aboard lounge chairs of pancetta and mushrooms ($21), and lobster-stuffed ravioli drifts in a house-made vodka sauce ($18). To sample further oceanic fruits, plunge forks into grilled jumbo shrimp atop jalapeño-and-onion risotto ($23), or divide and conquer landlubbed entrees such as panko-crusted eggplant parmesan ($15). Chefs drape 12-ounce new york strip steak in a cape of brandy-sautéed portobello mushrooms and a parmesan-butter sauce ($23) to attract the admiration of upper-class wines. Bistro 324 serves as The Renaissance Room’s main dining space, designed and appointed by architect Thomas Hamilton, surrounding guests with deep crown molding and carved wooden accents. Once weather warms, Bistro 324 invites guests to dine alfresco on a stately outdoor patio paved with bricks and mortared with béchamel.
