| - We liked Glow Putt so much we went back the very next day. They've been open about 5 months, and the concept is awesome. I may be dating myself but this is mini-Golf meets Tron. They took poorly performing unproductive retail space, painted some wood to glow in the dark, added fluorescent lighting (to charge the paint after hours), some black lights and some imagination and voila, we have glow in the dark mini golf. It is dark enough to appreciate the concept but still bright enough to see your way around. My 7 year old and 5 year old both loved it, as did the rest of the family. The owners thought of everything - even the scorecard on the mini-clipboard glows, and it hangs from a lanyard around your neck. You get a glowing bracelet, and the clubs and balls glow too. The cost is reasonable, and the owner and staff are all super nice. The holes are much more simple than at the more traditional mini golf venues around town - here there are no windmills, but you don't miss the bells, whistles and animation of the other places. My son loved to charge the ball every few holes, and especially on hole #17. The silly wheel to spin on #11 was a nice touch. 8 and 15 are deceptively simple and too short, but still challenging. My favorite hole is 13 - I think that's the one with the pinball action where the ball drains to a lower level. Glow putt is a great concept, and it is very well executed.
