Extreme Defensive
Owner and Texas-native Mike Davis and the NRA-certified instructors at Extreme Defensive watch over range members and educate patrons in the principles of effective marksmanship and responsible possession during small group courses. Amid 24 forest-green range stalls, shots ring out from the hands of shooters as they pierce target papers and warn standby target papers of the workday they’re about to have. Firearms training courses imbue marksmen with proper handling and safety skills, and the 10-hour Texas Concealed Handgun License certification course taught by Mike—himself a concealed-handgun-license holder—helps students satisfy application requirements. During classes, shooters improve their technique before the guidance of the experienced professionals, improving both form and CIA sunglass-removal technique.

Twin Creeks Golf Club’s rates fluctuate throughout the day and week.
Twin Creeks Golf Club
Commended for its preservation of the natural Texas landscape, Twin Creeks Golf Club features an 18-hole course that seamlessly integrates native trees and two flowing creeks into a pristine, 6,840-yard layout. All of the picturesque par 72’s difficulties are brought to bear on the par 4 13th hole, where a strong headwind may nudge rightward drives into a rippling creek and an immense green makes any two-putt a tricky proposition. Golf carts glide across the immaculate meadows, occasionally spinning their wheels and wailing their reverse alert in distress as passengers approach the hidden lake of the 17th hole, called the “Devil’s Elbow.” Golfers can calibrate their swings at the course’s practice center, which includes a driving range, bunker, chipping area, and putting green, an ideal spot to covertly test any remote-controlled balls. After a day spent making sand angels in every bunker, guests can recess to the rustic confines of the Elkhorn Bar & Grill, where Southwestern fare sates diners resting at patio tables or under the 50-inch flat-screen TV located indoors.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 72 course
- Length of 6,840 yards from farthest tees
- Course rating of 73.2 from farthest tees
- Slope rating of 131 from farthest tees
- Four tee options
- Scorecard

Digital and 35mm prints packaged in the projector’s cylindrical glow soar over the 645-seat room before crashing into an adjustable 40-foot screen or removable fourth wall.

Four- or Seven-Night Stay for Two at Hotel Villas Playa Samara in Costa Rica
Beachside Retreat Surrounded by Rainforest
Unlike waves at most other beaches on the northern coast, the waves that roll in the horseshoe-shaped bay near Playa Samara, buffered by nearby islands and headlands, are relatively calm and easily navigable. Guests of the waterfront Hotel Villas Playa Samara take advantage of this phenomenon on kayaking tours—one of many activities available onsite—that send paddlers skimming over the ocean, just a few feet above colorful coral reefs. Located far from urban bustle and surrounded by 200 acres of tropical jungle, the resort makes a relaxing home base for adventures by land or sea.
Hotel Villas Playa Samara resembles a Spanish-style village with its white stucco walls, red tile roofs, and wild herds of matadors roaming the grounds. Deluxe rooms, which lie only steps from the beach, come furnished with a private garden- or ocean-view terrace. The onsite Arrecife Restaurante also offers inviting island views on its patio, where diners can sample international cuisine and traditional Costa Rican breakfasts consisting of gallo pinto, maple ham, and fiambres.
Samara Beach, Costa Rica: Coral Reefs and Rainforest Adventure
Hotel Villas Playa Samara makes it easy to book an array of outdoor adventures set amid the rainforest or on the crescent-shaped beach. A nearly three-hour kayak trip, included with this Getaway, features a guided sojourn to Isla Chora—a secluded island whose shores boast pink and white sand. Snorkeling through the crystal-clear waters along the bay provides an up-close look at tropical marine life, such as hermit crabs.
Mountain-biking and ziplining tours take explorers deep into the jungle. A float down one of the rainforest’s rivers may supply glimpses of howler monkeys and iguanas. Anglers can take to the Pacific on sport-fishing charters, which steer to big-game fishing spots. Even novices stand a fair chance of hooking tuna and mahi-mahi or wrestling with a trophy-size plankton in the boat’s fighting chair.

$399 for Up to Five Laser Spider-Vein-Removal Sessions for Legs at Clear Allergy Immunology Laser Center in Plano ($5,000 Value)
As we get older, our skin often begins to betray our age with sun spots, spider veins, and gossipy beauty marks. Keep your number under wraps with today’s Groupon: for 9, you get up to five sessions of laser spider-vein removal for the full legs at Clear Allergy Immunology Laser Center in Plano (a ,000 value). On average, patients need five treatments to remove all visible spider veins, though some patients may require less.
Dr. Eric R. Kavosh and the team at Clear Allergy Immunology Laser Center send spider veins skittering from both legs during laser vein-removal treatments using Fotona laser technology. The trained tech begins with a brief consultation before releasing the laser’s light across patients’ lower limbs. Carefully moving the laser over spider veins for up to 15 minutes on each leg, the tech focuses energized light beams into unsightly squiggles, where they permanently shut down the unsightly blood vessels and their illegal gambling operations.
After the vein shuts down, blood reroutes to deeper veins, leaving the spider veins to close up shop and file for bankruptcy before fading away. Though posttreatment gams may experience some tenderness, the non-invasive and minimally painful procedure requires no downtime. For optimal results, Clear Al recommends two treatments during the first and second visit with the fifth treatment closing out the vein-eradicating game in the third and final visit.

Microdermabrasion or Microdermabrasion with Chemical Peel at Image ReNu at Walnut Hill (Up to 64% Off)
Looking younger can help to open many doors, unless it’s past midnight and you’re in front of a retirement home. Look like you belong with today’s Groupon to Image ReNu at Walnut Hill, located in the Woodhill Medical Park buildings. Choose between the following options:
- For , you get a microdermabrasion (a 5 value).
- For , you get a microdermabrasion with a chemical-peel treatment (a 0 value).
Image ReNu at Walnut Hill helps customers to revive waning complexions with noninvasive microdermabrasion and custom chemical-peel treatments. A skin-smoothing microdermabrasion session deploys sodium-bicarbonate crystals across the skinscape, diligently evacuating dead skin cells and stomping out fine lines. The treatment requires no downtime, and a gentle resurfacing agent helps to leave freshly sandblasted visages with a healthy, glowing complexion. During a chemical peel, a trained aesthetician examines faces before whipping up a tailor-made exfoliating solution that will help to erase acne scars, fine lines, and signs of chimney sweeping. Though the treatment does not require downtime, visages may experience post-treatment flaking dependent on the peel’s potency, the skin’s sensitivity, and the amount of time spent marooned on desert islands without a parasol. Offices are open Monday–Friday from 9 a.m.–5p.m., and are closed on weekends.

Each of the independent beauty therapists stationed within Suite Escape Salons of Forney boasts at least eight years of experience in their rejuvenating arts. After picking up a cup of coffee or tea from the beverage bar, guests begin their sojourn with a mani-pedi, dipping fingers and toes in bubble baths that loosen dead skin, dirt, and crib notes scribbled in eighth grade. Technicians ritualistically tidy nails and cuticles on all 20 digits, buffing hands and exfoliating callused feet before crowning their tips in OPI polish. Next comes the hydrating facial, which deploys Biomani or Dermalogica products that clear skin of oil and dead cells before a rich mask and layer of moisturizer replenish pores.
Those continuing their treatment head to a quiet massage chamber, where a therapist fuses the five flowing strokes of Swedish technique to stimulate circulation and send stress to frolic on a farm in Iowa. During the session, heat from warm towels seeps into particularly tense knots and gentle hands knead lotion into the skin. A stylist intercepts guests for the final step in the salon package, wielding products from Redken, Biolage, or Rusk to infuse locks with a rich hue that accents the soft geometry of their new cut.
