Glowing Greens

This place made me dizzy, and I like that my clothes glowed in the dark, there were some holes where you could get a hole in one, and I did get one! This was very fun!

This place is a hidden gem in downtown! Being neighbors with it is quite fun if we want a simple and fun night out.
However, the downside is the fact that they close way earlier than stated. Hours of operation generally mean the hours in which a business operates. Knowing this, you’d think customers would be able to play until 10 pm (closing time) or at least 9:50. The fact that we got there at 9 and were forced to play 9 holes as opposed to 18 is quite disappointing due to the fact that we finished at 9:25!!! Great place just wish they’d change their closing time to «whenever we please» because that’s how it is.

Indoor glow in the dark mini golf! Woohoo! Because of the whole glow in the dark theme, their décor can be a bit spooky, which became a bit too much for the almost-​3-​year-​old with us… so just be cautious if you plan on bringing really little ones! It costs $ 11 for adults to get in, which seems like an average price considering it was an 18-​hole course. I’d say it took a little under an hour and a half to complete the entire course. There isn’t too much variation as far as hills or obstacles, it’s just a lot of zigzags and walls to conquer. 5 stars for the cool glow in the dark theme, but 3 stars for the course itself.

Very cool concept, and certainly the cleanest peewee golf I’ve ever been. Great music and the waves sound effects playing in the back ground — didn’t make us feel like we were the only ones in the place. Highly recommend this for a birthday party. Wear white clothing or your Day-​Glo accessories.

My family and I had a blast last night at the Hillsboro’s one, the art work on walls are great. Lots of fun for a family. Staff was very friendly and place was clean. We will definitely go check out their other one in Portland.

Much better than I remembered it being from a few years back. I’m not sure if they re-​did it, or what, but it looks a lot newer & improved than I remember so yay! The cheese factor is a solid 10 out of 10, but that kind of makes me love it even more. It’s pirate themed with tons of décor, and the occasional animatronic creature designed to creep you out (or scare the pants off you if you’re not paying attention like me).
The holes vary from easy peasy to medium-​hard. Almost «I want to smack someone with this putter» hard but with some patience, I resisted.
The service was great too — they do a great job of staggering groups so you’re not either waiting for the next group to finish up their hole, or trying to rush because there’s a pileup behind you. $ 11 will get you a solid hour of fun.
I just wish they had beer!

It’s a lot of fun if you play by their suggested special rules per course.

This place was a lot of fun! I haven’t been in a long time, but they just popped up in my search for fun things to do and I wanted to give them credit for being so awesome. Will definitely be stopping by this weekend!

Screw this place. The family who owns it are verbally abusive and just down right dicks. I still have texts from the managers talking shit, I was called a shitty person by my female manager in front of my co-​workers. Don’t support their business. They didn’t give us gloves when they made us clean the bathrooms, and you could mess up the smallest thing not only would they completely go off on you they would talk shit about you to all of your co workers. ¹⁰⁄₁₀ worst business and I highly regret working for them.

This is a really novel idea and super fun activity and it’s a really creative course and I love that my clothes glowed.
My ONLY criticism is that sometimes it’s impossible to hit a hole in one because of how the course is designed. I mentioned it to someone and he said they’d improved on that in their newer location. And it didn’t actually ruin any of the fun.

Kitschy fun! Great escape from the rain, something different to do down town.

Glowing Greens is a fun place to experience mini putt in a more controlled atmosphere. We hv a lot of kids, altho young adults — they’re still kids, and boys @ that. They gt competitive, overzealous or, well, they’re boys they break things! Ths place is a bit matchbox and a bit of a dive @ that.
Golfing was a challenge. Which is awesome.
There was a sense of lack in pride in the displays, equipment and surroundings. The employees behaved as tho they were doing time instead of bidding us a good time.

Traveled to Portland for a weekend getaway with a few friends, and stopped in for some mini golf on a rainy afternoon. Even though some of the holes are basic there were enough difficult holes throughout to keep us entertained. The trippy glow in the dark pirate theme is the best part of the course.

wow! this underground miniature golf place is so much fun! the semi-​psychedelic obstacles and the horrifying zombies, skeletons, and pop-​ups is sure to give anyone a good laugh and 。or fright
like regular miniature golfing, this is a full 18-​hole course with a set of suggested playing instructions on the back of your score sheet
they ensure hilarity with directions like hit the ball with anything but your club backwards between your legs
~*~
this was lots of fun compared to regular mini-​golf mostly because they don’t go easy on you!
just be prepared to roll yours like a bowling ball ;p

Cool place — difficult golfing. None of the holes are easy — I don’t think there was a single one you could find any possible way to get a hole in one.
Wear white so you glow in the dark! Or wear black and don’t glow and sneak up on people and scare them… ;)
Weekends they are open late. They have snacks; no alcohol. The staff was friendly and funny.
18 hole course — awesomely themed with pirates, sharks and treasure all around. Takes a few holes for your eyes to get adjusted to the dark, but after that it makes it much easier to golf.
We came in around 1030/​11pm on a Friday night. We only had to wait about 10 min due to a large group of kids in front of us (I saw someone say they maxed at groups of 4 — this group had 8). It was slow golfing, but it was really fun. Expect to wait during peak times.
The bathroom is really creepy… it’s like through a random door in the back, down a bunch of creepy hallways. It is quite an adventure.
Good luck, and watch out for the box that moves and scares the crap out of you if you aren’t paying attention!!!

Wow they were busy for a Tuesday night. There were groups in front of us and groups behind us. It was an a-​ok time. I think I like their new course in Beaverton a lot better. At least all of the prop functioning worked in Beaverton last time we were there. This place is in a good location downtown across from veggie grill. Look for the pirate statue out front and head on down the stairs. FYI this place did not have air conditioning! It was really humid down there, even for a basement! Parking can be tricky. It was fun but they really need to get the prop/​puppet on the final hole up and running. No grand finale = Big bummer.

Cons:
–Expensive
–No parking validation on weekdays, but they don’t tell you that until the very end.
–No more than four in a group/​party
–No outside food and drink, so that they can sell you expensive drinks.
–Staff did not refund quarter when the arcade ate it.
–Staff did not seem to care.

This was a pretty fun place to spend a few hours. I went with a small group and we all had a lot of fun. We went on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn’t that busy. Make sure to wear white because there are black lights and it is cool to see everyone glowing. They have decorations and some move and talk. Since it is an indoor course, this is a great activity for when the weather isn’t so great.

No thanks. I took six kids ages 9 – 14 and they’re still talking about how creepy it was. I called a head, let them know I was from out of town… what did I need to know… etc. it would’ve been very helpful if they’d said its a small door leading to a basement. We drove around the block twice and still didn’t see it until we parked and walked the block.
We waited in the game room for our turn with games that were missing pieces and had cards you couldn’t shuffle. They forgot we were there and I had to find someone to get us going.
The golfing itself really wasn’t more than some blocks on the floor that you hit around. We showed up before we were told we needed to in order to do a full round and then were only allowed to do half of one.
It was indeed glow in the dark, which sounded fun but the decode was not kid friendly or fun at all.
Enjoy the hotel pool. Skip the golf.

I have been trying to go to this place forever. For $ 11 it was a good hour long activity. You can also pay a dollar and they will hold your stuff in the office which is nice so you don’t have to carry your coat while you play. We went on a Friday night and it wasn’t too packed, but we did have people directly ahead and behind us. The décor is pirate themed and there are a lot of glowing decorations everywhere but the actual course was pretty basic. However, it’s nice to have an indoor activity on a rainy night.

Really amazingly well done visuals and theme.
Clean and ship-​shape, friendly staff are excited to share this awesomeness with you.
It’s like golfing through a seamless gallery of psychedelic velvet black light posters telling the fate of a ‘skeleton crew’ who found Davy Jones’ locker.
So fun!
PRO-​TIP:
Pay the $ 1.50 for 3-​D glasses, they really do work here to enhance your «experience».
(I know… Real-​life is already 3-​D, but they totally add an extra serving of psychedelic surrealism!)

I don’t know how you can not like this place. Granted I went w an excited 7 year old, but I would have had a blast either way.
I saw nothing that needed repair. It’s a bit more than Oaks Park, but it’s worth it to play indoors on a 29 degree New Years’ Eve.
PRO TIP: Do the extra rules on the back of your score card for each hole!

Went a little while back, had a great time! A bit on the pricey side, but what can you expect when downtown Portland? Myself and my better half went on a weekday around 1ish. No rush, not a lot of people. The kids working here are a bit «high school» — and luckily we weren’t here for gleaming service. As it didn’t exactly exist, anyway.
The holes were easy and challenging in a good way. Took about 2 hours to play out. It was enjoyable and we may return when looking for something different to do. It is quite a large place and can accommodate lots of players. The kids working were nice and put us in front of some younger kids playing — that was nice and partly why I’d say 4 stars.
Strange odor in some parts… But seems expectant with fog machine and some small scares which were entertaining. Give this place a try when you have a little extra cash as I’m sure it was almost $ 15 each…

This is a fun place to go if you are yearning for your high schools days. Fun place to go if you are super laid-​back and can handle some rambunctious teens sharing the same space as you.
We went at the very end of Saturday night and knew that it might be a little busy. The guys running the place were really nice and explained that we could hop around a bit with which hole we wanted to play, but that the 18^th hole had to be the last because it takes your ball. Very appreciative of this info. We started on the first hole and then soon had to start skipping around. Really, it wasn’t too big of a deal and everyone was pretty relaxed. The scene is fun with crazy skeletons and decorations everywhere… some that move (nope, didn’t scare the holy beejezus out of me at all).
For $ 10 per person, this could be a pretty good option for some fun – just leave plenty of time to play towards the end of the night.

What’s better than psychedelic Pirates of the Caribbean mini golf?
This place is a great little hidden gem. It’s great for a date, a group of friends, or the kids. At 10 bucks per game, it’s a pretty good deal. Perfect for our Oregon weather.
It could probably use a makeover in the design department. Serious «mini golfers, those guys that bring their own clubs and have a separate ball for each putt might be offended that the holes are not engineered to be geometrically correct. Worn carpet, uneven surfaces, distance setup, etc.
We went on a weeknight, and it was busy enough that we had to wait about ten minutes, so I imagine it would get quite crowded on weekends or in rainy weather.
Wear white with florescent contrast, or something that glows in the dark. I put on some glow in the dark nail polish.

This was a fun evening. If you enjoy mini-​golf and you enjoy black lights you will probably enjoy Glowing Greens.
Not sure why it had taken me so long to get here, but it did. Sue and I were having a date night so I proposed dinner out with 18 holes of mini-​golf after. You could certainly do worse things with your time.
A cool course with some fairly easy holes followed by some more difficult holes. There are moving monsters and such at a few of these, so be warned. We flew through the first 7 or 8 holes before catching up with the people in front of us. It can get busy in here so be patient. It is worth it just to take it all in.
A fun night if you enjoy something slightly different from the norm.
