Posts have been few and far between recently, but I had to let you know about a great place we visited this weekend: Putting Edge, a glow-in-the-dark miniature golf place. Did I mention it’s indoors? Yay for beating the Florida heat!

Some of the highlights included:

• the music. We (ok, mostly me) rocked out to songs like Hey Mickey, You’re So Fine; ‘N Sync’s Bye Bye Bye; the Cha Cha Slide.
• the challenges. Every fourth hole or so, there would be special challenges. I won’t list them all, because part of the fun was learning what they were, but not touching the carpet and not using your putter were two of our favorites. So much fun and out of the ordinary.
• the decor. It’s not crazy golf, since nothing moves, but the glow-in-the-dark aspect was pretty cool. Each person gets their own glow-in-the-dark colored ball and matching glow stick, and the sets (is that what you would call them?) covered everything from under-the-sea to Holy grail knights.

The takeaway: Mini golf is a great activity for couples, families, out-of-town guests, you name it. Putting Edge takes it a step above by adding unique elements that make it so you can’t help but have fun. Plus, since it’s in the Festival Bay mall, you can walk through Outdoor World and marvel at the sheet number of items that feature camouflage.

• Location: 5250 International Drive (inside the Festival Bay mall, adjacent to the movie theatre)
• Hours: 11a-9p Mondays through Thursdays; 11a-11p Fridays and Saturdays; and 11a-7p Sundays
• Cost: $10.50/person (discounts available for seniors and kids under 13)

Bonus: I didn’t take any photos, but they have kindly provided some on their site here.
