Golf Outings for One or Four or Membership to The River Golf and Country Club in Louisburg

Playing golf is a better way to commune with Mother Nature than scattering the pages of your journal throughout a national park. Get to know our planetary matron with today’s Groupon for golf outings at The River Golf and Country Club in Louisburg. Choose from the following options: For $17, you get one 18-hole round of golf for one, plus cart rental (up to a $35 value). For $30, you get a one-month walking-only membership with unlimited golf (a $65 value). For $65, you get 18 holes of golf for four, plus cart rental (up to a $140 value). The semi-private River Golf and Country Club fosters competitive sportsmanship on a challenging par 72 course. Indulge your outdoor cravings and tee off on 18 holes of tree-lined fairways and lush greens on River Golf’s skill-testing course, containing 6,391 yards of terrain, multiple sand traps, roving golf-history quizmasters, water hazards, and four par 5 holes. Before taking to the grass, golfers can warm up on River Golf’s chipping area, putting green, and driving range to loosen club swings in hopes of lodging a new low score. Single orb slingers or four-person golfing troupes can then traverse the course on any day of the week, including holidays, while those taking advantage of the one-month membership can engage in unlimited putting or get to know each blade of grass individually. One-month memberships are walking only, but carts may be rented for $12 per day. Groupon Says The Groupon Guide to: Choosing Produce Your face is so smooth. Did you shave with broccoli? Read more…
