How about treating mom to spa, golf or brunch at Saddlebrook Resort in Florida?

Trust me on this: Mother’s Day is one day you don’t want to mess up – whether it’s your own mother or the mother of your kids (often your wife).

There are all sorts of ideas out there, but if the honoree on your list likes to golf, get spa treatments or eat or all three, I’ve got a suggestion.

Saddlebrook Golf & Tennis Resort near Tampa, Fla., has a few deals for mom out there. If you purchase a Saddlebrook gift card of $100 or more you can receive a $25 spa gift certificate to use on a future 50-minute treatment.

Of if a great meal might suit her fancy, take her to the Mother’s Day buffet at Tropic Restaurant. It’s $46.95 per adult, but this isn’t just some run-of-the-mill buffet, this is the good stuff. Start out with a Mediterranean seafood platter with rare tuna niçoise, grilled artichokes and feta cheese. Move onto the Caesar salad station with rock shrimp and seared duck breast. There’s sushi, garlicky shrimp tacos, roasted pork tenderloin, Churrasco hanger steak and lots more. And for dessert, Key lime bites, chocolate covered strawberries and a banana Foster station, just to name a few.

Of course, you could also take her to play golf, and Saddlebrook, has plenty of that with two 18-hole courses, the Saddlebrook Course, designed by Dean Refram, and the (Arnold) Palmer Course. It’s also home of the Saddlebrook Golf Academy, so a lesson wouldn’t be a bad way to go either.

In any event, you can get more information by calling 813-907-4419 or visiting SaddleBrook.com.
