This weekend we took our 5 year old grandson to the Putting Edge Fun Center in Lincolnshire. A basic package for 1 round of golf and glow bracelets costs $9.35 for adults, $8.35 for Kids 7-12 years old, and $7.35 for kids 5-6 years old and seniors. Putting Edge is open 7 days-a-week and also available for birthday parties. This indoor glow-in-the-dark miniature golf course is quite unique. The walls, the accents, and the entire 18 hole course are painted so that it all glows in the dark. And we are big into glow in the dark right now, we have glow in the dark Batman, glow in the dark pajamas, and glow in the dark, and now we can play golf in the dark.
The 18-hole course is fun and challenging. There is an Adventure theme so as you play you meander through a castle and its grounds where there are knights, dragons, sea creatures, ships and sunken treasure. There is enough skill needed to entertain the big kids without frustrating the preschoolers. The Glow-in-the-Dark feature adds interest to the course as well as making it a bit more difficult.
Some of our faviorite holes where the spiraling downward ramp that leads the the sunken treasure and the hole hidden behind a dragon tail. The last hole is always fun. At Putting Edge, the last hole looks like a bullseye with 3 circles where you can win different prizes. You can roll the ball in with your hands or use your golf club. We let our grandson roll all of the balls in and cheer for the prizes he won.
The lobby is filled with arcade games, which is a definite kid magnet. It's set up like any arcade with tokens, tickets and prizes. This is a nice feature if you have to wait for your tee time, or if you just want to extend your play time out with the kids.
We arrived early on Saturday morning, which was a good idea because we were there before the birthday parties began. We spent a couple of hours playing golf and arcade games and had a great time! For two senior citizens and a 5 year old, the green fees for one game of miniature golf, and a glow bracelet for each of us was about $22.00. And how can you say no to the room full of arcade games?
Bubbie says: I’d go again. After the fact we saw that the Entertainment Book has a coupon for 20 free Arcade Tokens, so I'd definitely use that to help out on cost.
Pa says: The course was certainly different than any other course on which I’ve played, and that was fun.
