$16 for a Custom Full-Body Airbrush Tan at Beach Tans ($35 Value)
The sun’s energy not only tans people’s skin but also gives flowers the strength they need to keep from screaming when they’re plucked. Give the illusion of a stint in the sun with today’s Groupon: for , you get a custom full-body airbrush tan at Beach Tans (a value). Today’s Groupon does not apply to mobile tanning.
Within a studio flanked with sky-blue walls and sand-colored curtains, Beach Tans burnishes sun-shunning bodies with the customizable hue of Fake Bake tanning solution. Airbrush artisans contour the spray to the body’s curves, anointing skin of almost any shade with a sun-kissed glow while avoiding the irritation and orange tinge common when using other bronzing techniques or sunbathing on a human-size Cheeto. The newly bronzed emerge in 15–20 minutes with a natural-looking tan that can last for up to a week with proper care. As when preparing for a swim meet in a pool full of honey, tanners should shave, exfoliate, and avoid lotions and makeup before their session.

$45 for an 18-Hole Golf Outing for Two with Range Balls and Cart Rental at Balcones Country Club ($90 Value)
It’s difficult to hit a target from far away, which is why holes-in-one are rare and the Goodyear blimp has never been shot successfully with an arrow. Drive hard with a vengeance, thanks to this Groupon.
for a Golf Outing for Two ( Value)
- 18-hole round of golf for two
- Cart rental and driving-range balls included
Balcones Country Club
Two majestic, 18-hole courses encircle the stately grounds of Balcones Country Club, whisking golfers to an elysian landscape of dense tree lines and large, rippling waterways. The slightly easier of the two, the Balcones Course, features the club’s signature hole, a 155-yard par 3 where tee shots must clear a vast water hazard and a central fountain that spews the liberated souls of drowned golf balls. The club prepares greenhorn golfers with a bevy of classes offered through their golf academy, which range from typical private lessons to fitness programs offered by Titleist Performance Institute–certified trainers. A classroom equipped with video swing-analysis technology hosts intense investigations into corrupt swings, and a double-sided, lighted driving range fosters late-night reflections on whether or not golf balls are simply fallen stars.
A more frenetic pace of competition takes stage on the 10 courts that billet Balcones Country Club’s tennis program, and scampering tykes and weary adults can retreat to the club’s two outdoor pools for a more relaxing setting. Guests can fuel up for a day of recreation with a quick bite at the onsite grill or engage the community in the elegant, 250-capacity banquet hall.
