Glow Golf Ideas

Most golfers think of golf as a daytime sport, but with glow-in-the-dark golf balls you can play at night, too. Golf courses and ranges as well as miniature golf centers are grabbing hold of the idea and using glow golf to expand their options for customers. From parties to contests, glow golf presents lots of fun new ways to enjoy golf.

  1. Parties and Fundraisers

    • Golf courses and miniature golf centers can use glow courses for parties and fundraisers. Many indoor miniature golf centers are adding glow golf to their courses for play-in-the-dark fun. Line the course with glow-in-the-dark materials and use black lights for lighting so the glow balls illuminate. Create a theme for the course and add obstacles in glow-in-the-dark materials to match the theme. The center can offer a party room, food, and tokens for other items at the center.

      Golf courses that set up glow golf night play can offer fund-raising tournaments. Provide fun tee gifts such as glow-in-the-dark necklaces and lots of food and prizes for the awards party afterward.

    Club Member Events

    • Night golf tournaments for club members and guests add a twist to the standard tournament. Participants play in the evening with illuminated glow balls. Staff can set up a nine-hole night golf outing by using glow sticks to surround the holes and fairways. For added fun, include contests such as longest drive and closest to the pin. Arrange for dinner and drinks afterward during the awards presentation.

    Hole-in-One Contest

    • Similar to night golf, arrange a night golf hole-in-one-contest. Surround a par 3 hole with glow sticks and have people pay for a chance to win a prize for the ball closest to the pin.

    Helicopter Drops

    • Set up a glow golf raffle by numbering glow balls. Sell tickets corresponding to the numbers. Have a helicopter drop the bag of numbered balls on the green. The ball closest to the pin or in wins a prize for its number-holder.
