Putting Edge

This is a nice place! something different! I had a good time. Everything glows in the dark.

Pretty decent indoor mini golf course. Took my nephew here (he’s 14) and we had a blast. The course winds around in the back, so it’s not as small as it seems. We probably conquered the course in about an hour.
There’s a small arcade that takes tokens (and has Galaga).
… There’s also a small concession stand inside with overpriced treats :)

To my fellow 20-​somethings:
JUST DON’T. My girlfriend and I celebrated ⁴⁄₂₀ here, and although sure, it was trippy, it was also a nightmare, literally and figuratively.
The literal nightmare was the way it was decorated. For no reason, the flowers on the wall are all frowning and moping, there are clawed lizards scampering about the murals ready to cut you, and a motley crew of angry aliens and spiders dot the rest of the glowing landscape. IT’S LIKE A BAD, BAD ACID TRIP.
The figurative nightmare was how OVERCROWDED it was. Upon arrival we had to wait 20 minutes for a «tee time», and then the course was packed hole-​to-​hole, leaving all parties to go hot-​and-​cold between waiting for the people in front of you to finish, and then feeling rushed as the party behind you waits for you. Also, one of the two employees (he was a lanky black guy in glasses) was subtly yet majorly a dick to me for no reason. To top the ambience off, add in a couple dozen screaming eight year-​olds running around what could have otherwise been an adult, sexy, psychedelic, chill, *relaxed* place.
I don’t know about you, but I’M STARTING TO LOSE FAITH IN GROUPON. It seems more than half of their businesses need fresh clientele for a reason — people don’t naturally recommend others to the business, BECAUSE THE BUSINESS IS (pun intended) SUB-​PAR.
Keep fightin’ the good fight, guys.

A fun place to play mini golf and games

Such a cute date spot! This is my second time coming here and both times I remember having some good, old-​fashioned fun. Putting Edge brings a little psychedelic sexiness to plain ol’ mini golf. There’s glow in the dark painted scenery all around you with backlights to make everything really pop out. Parking is a breeze in the structure and though it can get a little crowded, you just have to be patient and wait your turn to put some holes.
All in all, a good time! Not sure if I’d come again any time soon since it’s sort of a novelty activity to do, but I’d def recommend it as a date option! Put away, my friends!

I was looking online for mini golf course and stumbled upon this one. I was so psyched out when I read that it was a glow in the dark course and immediately put on my «puppy eyes» for my bf. He didn’t mind that we had to drive in traffic so off we went!
It wasn’t hard finding the place since it was at the bottom floor. As soon as we entered, I was really disappointed. Sure, the place looks pretty cool. Afterall, it’s glow in the dark. However, this place is sooooo tiny! Not to mention all the kids that were running around screaming.
My bf and I couldn’t even go through all the courses due to kids sitting around and playing. You’d think they workers would say or do something but they really don’t seem to care.
By the way, unless there’s a groupon deal don’t bother paying for the full price. It’s really a rip off. I dont think I’ll come back.

After googling mini golf options in Los Angeles, I decided to try out Putting Edge to pop boyfriends mini golf cherry. We came with some friends and there wasn’t any wait so we were able to begin immediately! (6PM ish on a Saturday night!)
All of the art was fascinating! I loved the colors and black lights. Some of the holes had fun options to make putting a little more difficult (hitting only backwards, every members hands on the stick at one time, etc.) There was a group of five in front of us that were taking FOREVER (and NOT listening to the 6 put maximum rule), but we just ended up skipping a hole so we didn’t have to wait so long for the next round.
We didn’t try out any of the arcade games, but it looked like it was pretty crowded and entertaining!
Overall, a great place! I’d love to come back randomly one day.

I have walked by this place for years and finally when in and got a gift certificate for an x-​mas present. There are several things you should know. First, when you purchase 30 dollars or more you get a free round. Second, arrive early on the weekends as there is a wait. The arcade games are ok but if you have a little one there is really nothing there to play while waiting. We something with pockets to hold your tokens. Tuesdays there is pay for one get one for free. Staff is nice, and they do a good job of cleaning the poles right after they are played with. Wear white or something else that will glow in the dark.

Definately a different kind of experience. It’s awesome to be amongst all the glow in the dark. However, the 18 holes gets a little long. Plus, when it’s busy you have a group ahead of you and behind you and it can feel a little cramped. I think 9 holes with more variety in each of the structures would have been more interesting. My group left at about the 14^th hole. We just got bored. Kids would LOVe this place, however.

Fun decorations, creative holes, good music. What’s not to like? It’s everything you could be looking for in a mini-​golf range. It’s never been overly crowded when I’ve gone (usually later at night) so there is almost no wait time that plagues many mini-​golf courses. The holes are visually and structurally creative and a lot of fun to play. None of the gimmicks are unfair, either.
Of course, there’s also an arcade and a decent amount of other fun distractions if somebody in your group hates mini-​golf (there’s always one).
The price is fair, and I would definitely go again!

Glow-​in-​the-​dark Putt-​Putt Golf sounds a lot cooler than it really is. It’s like Batman nipple-​suit director Joel Schumacher decided to open an indoor mini-​golf course.
The «blacklit» 18-​hole course and neon props remind me of the set and Neon Gang from Schumacher’s Batman Forever with Val Kilmer, Jim Carrey, and Nicole Kidman. That Gotham City Neon Gang wasn’t scary because it was cool. It was scary because they BELIEVED they could be glow-​in-​the-​dark AND be cool at the same time.
I’ve been to Putting Edge 3 times in 3 years. Luckily, we had discounts each time, but even that didn’t really make the experience fun. It was more of a time-​killer than anything.
Besides the golf, there are also arcade games if your phone/​tablet doesn’t have games. Music played 2 of the 3 visits there and some of the songs were cool. Wish I was at a club instead of surrounded by glow-​in-​the-​dark plywood.
The concession stand lets you get a drink if you can’t wait till dinner. One round of golf is $ 10.50, but you can get unlimited golf for $ 12.50 which shows you how many times people actually play more than one round of mini-​golf at the Putting Edge (A: not very often). It closes at 8:30 every night except Fri/​Sat at 11:00.
If you’re a sober adult, Putting Edge just seems out-​of-​date and like forced-​fun. My advice is to be younger, drunk, or high … or all three … to get the full effect of the black lights and surreal colors.

Located in the Howard Hughes center, Putting Edge is quite fun. It can be a bit noisy at times, as the arcade and birthday area are all in the same space. However, when mini-​golfing, the later holes toward the back of the course are quieter. What’s really quite good about the place is that they space out the golfers so that no party is hurried to finish a hole. You feel like you have the course to yourself. I also really like the black light décor. I will most likely go again.
Pros:
— indoors
— spaced out players
— décor
— arcade games
Cons:
— pretty loud next to arcade
— relatively small course w/​out a ton of variety to the holes (not a lot of space indoors)
— paid parking at the Howard Hughes center

I was able to try out The Putting Edge because of a Groupon I had purchased. The Groupon entitled you and a friend to one round of miniature golf at the Putting Edge. OoOOhh my first time Miniature Golfing!
IF you haven’t been here before, this place is indoors. The whole mini-​golf course is in one big room. and the place is super dark with tons of blacklights all over (I think). The whole place is painted with a paint that pops in the light. It reminds me of a scary clown maze /​Alice in wonderland kinds of theme. (All over the place).
Anyway, when we went, it was early in the afternoon on a weekend so there weren’t too many people there. There were of course a ton of kids. There were kids playing in front of us and kids playing behind us. And parents who have no control over their kids.
While we were playing, the kids in front of us would take too long. We were fine with waiting except the kids behind us were not so they would walk into our hole and start playing while we waited for the kids in the other hole to finish. Or, they would pick up our balls and drop it into the hole. It was funny. And we didn’t mind sine we weren’t really taking the game seriously. If you don’t mind this then you shouldn’t have a problem… but if you do it would be better off going somewhere else.
Overall, I had fun at The Putting Edge and would probably come back. Not in the near future since this isn’t an activity I could see myself doing often, but twice a year maybe. :)

Coming to this place is like getting high on drugs … glowing castles, glowing sharks, glowing knights, etc.
Parking:
I parked at the Howard Hughes parking structure — $ 2 flat rate on Sunday
—
Price:
For adult (+13) — $ 10.50 per 18 holes
—
Environment:
This place separates into two areas — glow-​in-​the-​dark mini golf area and arcade area. There’s only one course for mini-​golf, but at least there’s A/​C — so you don’t have to play under the hot sun. The arcade area consists of games such as Time Crisis 4, typical basketball shooting hoops, air hockey, etc.

Mini-​Golf:
Pretty interesting courses — definitely not easy to get hole-​in-​one and your light-​color clothes will glow in the dark; however, one of my friend got a bit dizzy from all these glowing light.
—
Rating: For the price I am paying ($ 10.50 per game + $ 2 parking fee), it is definitely over-​priced for one golf game; however, it’s definitely an unique experience — but not a must-​come place (³⁄₅)

This place is great for those who love mini-​golf, loud daycare-​like environments, and bio-​luminescent marine life. Came on a Tuesday, which I’ll never forget because that’s the day that kids play for free, and coincidentally the day I was also almost hit in the head by a stray golf ball.
The whole glow-​in-​the-​dark course is a great a idea and the layout of the course itself makes for a great time with friends. This place is no Castle Park or Boomers as it is designed mostly for kids under 10 (the difficulty of the holes isn’t that high), but I like that the place is indoors and air-​conditioned. This place is located in the Hughes Center near LAX and you get free parking for up to 2 hours: D
Some cons were the slow service (there was only 1 guy working while about 50 little kids were running around) and the inflated rate of the course – it was $ 10.50 for adults but the course was much smaller than other, cheaper mini-​golf courses.
I recommend this place if you’ve never been here before or in the summer when you don’t want to stand out in the sweltering heat for 18 mini-​holes.

Looking for something different to do on a lazy afternoon? Putting edge is a fun thing to do with a group of friends. Unlike regular miniature golfing, the sun isn’t burning on the back of your neck, you don’t have to walk far and long to each hole, and each hole doesn’t take 10 – 20 tries to get the ball in the hole.
At Putting Edge, each hole takes under 6 tries (its pretty easy), and it takes about an hour to complete, so you won’t get too bored hopefully. There’s lots of photo opportunities with trippy looking squids, animals, and medieval knights. I would take my friends here again. I think its worth it! Its something different and fun.
There were only one or two workers there, so the service was a bit slow.

Such an awesome glow in the dark golf course! it’s a little weird and creepy, but I like that. It’s like $ 10 for adults, which doesn’t seem too bad to me.
They also have a cool arcade, equipped with a fair amount of games (PACMAN!!!) and an air hockey table.
Fun place to hang out. Pretty empty on weekdays, so it’s a good time to come if you want to do a little of everything without having to wait :)

Bizarre…
It is very straightforward… and much more «boring» than the traditional outdoor mini golf places… which in my opinion are much much better.
The idea of glow in the dark mini golfing… is an interesting on but it just doesn’t have the same appeal… as say bowling. Or it’s not executed as well…
Sure there’s crazy colorful artwork on the wall, a glow in the dark golf club and ball… but at the end of the day the courses are pretty flat… and easy… and I’m a golf cheater… so yeah. I didn’t even need to at this place.
Eh. Boring…

As a lot of others said, I might also be apprehensive about paying full price for mini golf here. If it wasn’t for the Groupon I might have been an unhappy camper, but due to the dirt cheap price we paid, I can’t complain.
The décor is cool and interesting, but thats about it. We came on a Sunday evening and there were a few families with young children, and some older women in front of us who took their sweet time.
I suppose our experience would have been cooler if we had listened to our inner teenager and brought some booze…(sad to report, but definitely true). Come a little sauced and look at the neat glow in the dark art while you clumsily put put your way through the course.
Overall, an ok way to spend an hour, however, I don’t think paying full price is worth it. sorry! maybe its just because im in my early 20s and am just not that into mini golf…
I suppose i’d recommend this place for maybe a 10 year old’s bday party, or a family outing

Reviews from fellow Unilocalers made me curious about this place. See… Unilocal actually helps businesses get customers.
This is an indoor miniature golf course with florescent paint and black lighting. The course is not as challenging as you would find at a Malibu Castle or other outdoor courses, and is considerably smaller. No windmills or hitting into the clowns mouth at this course. They are selling the psychedelic art and the novelty of putting in the dark. All the putting surfaces are flat, so most putts roll pretty true unless it hits a wad of gum or candy wrapper.
Princess and I were able to navigate the course in under an hour. Both of us shot about par or a few strokes under.
A few video games, an air hockey table, and a pop-​a-​shot make up the arcade portion of the room.
Thanks to Groupon for the $ 10 for 2 deal, cause I woulda felt really gypped if I paid the full price. Their regular prices are the same as twilight rates at Westchester Golf Course for 18 holes, and you would use more than just a putter.
The Promenade at Howard Hughes — this place had so much potential, yet it is hard to see how businesses can survive the lack of foot traffic here. Parking is $ 2 flat rate.

Us: «Holy jesus man, you must get a lot of obnoxious kids on acid rolling through here. This black light setup is insane.»
Employee: «The acid kids are great, they just stand around in awe. Real quiet like. Much better than the drunks.»
And there you have it folks, an invite from staff at Putting Edge to drop acid and get your ass in here for some mini golf.
18 holes, super friggen cheap, and enough trippy art work to make me lose my mind if I was anything more than slightly buzzed. As a matter of fact I’m going to blame my epic loss to the gf on that art work… yea, that must have been it… I mean how else could I lose by OVER TEN SHOTS. Got to be the black lights, ehh…
Toss in their air hockey tables and a handful of video games and I’d say this is a pretty sweet little setup here. I say invite 50 homies, rent the whole thing out, and hotbox the place. If they say A-​OK to acid kids I’m sure they won’t mind a little herbs and spices.
