Go green this Father’s Day with a family outing to the golf course. Rather than indulging in a gluttonous meal, get the whole family in on the action that Dad craves most. Golf is  both exciting and active, so it’s the perfect plan for a fun Father’s Day. Although the high temps may deter you from wanting to tee off in June, the low season prices and special deals make it worth the extra sweat. Consider Scottsdale’s nationally ranked Troon North Golf Club. Winter prices can be more than $200, whereas summer rates start at just $45. In addition, the course offers a kids play free program that allows youngsters under 15 to play a round and rent a set of clubs free after 3 p.m. If you’re willing to brave the heat, then you’ll be sure to score a deal. With over 300 courses in Arizona, there are literally hundreds of great rates to choose from. If you are looking for a deeper discount and you are willing to pay in advance, check golfnow.com. No matter which route you decide, keep in mind you won’t see prices this low until next year. So take advantage of the opportunity to get your whole gang involved on the green.
