$89 for 18 Holes of Golf and Cart Rental for Two People at The Bridges Golf Club at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis (Up to $178 Value)

Mulligans should be reserved for special occasions, such as first dates, American Idol auditions, and dying. Declare a do-over on your daily routine with today’s Groupon: for $89, you get 18 holes of golf and cart rental for two people at The Bridges Golf Club at Hollywood Casino in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi (up to a $178 value). Designed by Arnold Palmer, the course at The Bridges Golf Club ranks among the Best Casino Courses according to Golfweek , and has played host to PGA and USGA events. The 6,900-yard, par 72 playplace hands golfers a mix of opportunities to display their putting prowess, outdrive their opponents, and demonstrate the proper way to yell “Fore!” while driving the cart onto the green. Birdies and bogies alike appear beautiful thanks to the lush landscape, which runs rich with moss-draped live oaks, pines, magnolias, and marsh views, and adaptable tee boxes accommodate golfers with abilities that range from Caddyshack to Charl Schwartzel. Because of The Bridge’s Silver Signature status, an honor bestowed by Audubon International for eco-friendly course design, players enjoy peace of mind knowing that nature approves of their presence and will not send hail. Players can tee off at The Bridges Golf Club Wednesday through Monday between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. Before heading back to the office with tall tales about a tough day, shower off any evidence of sand-trap forays in the locker room or share stories of the ball that almost got away at the full-service bar and grill. The Bridges Golf Club’s rates fluctuate throughout the week and by season; plan ahead to make sure you’re redeeming your Groupon at the most opportune time.
