Most people, when given the choice between hanging out at an old railway station or hanging out at a golf course, opt for the latter. There are, however, certain rare individuals who can never quite seem to make up their minds. This WagJag's for them: $49 for 18 holes of golf for two including cart rental at Widder Station Golf & Country Club (a $100 value).

Highlights of the Course

Widder Station is comprised of sprawling greens dotted with over 200 mature blue spruce and balsam fir trees. The par 72, 6,109-yard course is designed to resemble an old railway station.

Tips for Success on the Greens

Take heed with hole 18, a 502-yard par 5, which sets up through a corridor of trees along a dogleg fairway that breaks to the right and leads to a water-surrounded green. This hole will make or break your round, so take each shot carefully. If you choose to drive off the tee, hug the left side, but not too far or you'll be out of bounds. If you're successful with finding the fairway, you'll be faced with the tough decision of going for the green in two shots or playing through to the hole. (Good luck.)

Course Comforts

To keep you refreshed during play, a beverage cart makes its way around the 18 holes. The air conditioned, licensed clubhouse has an atmosphere far more pleasant than the inside of an actual train station, plus a large deck overlooking the 18th green. A pro shop and CPGA pro are both on site to help you get your game in gear.

To Please the Golfer's Palate

Widder is known for its double-egg western sandwiches, which hit the spot pre or post round. Barbecued fare is also available right off the ninth green.
