Putting Edge

I don’t consider Halifax the most kid friendly city in Canada so I was surprised this place even exists. Is it incredible? Compared to Crystal Palace in Moncton, fuck no, this place is a joke. But for Halifax, great!!! The course was fun, a good way to pass an hour.

Oh Halifax. I feel for you. I really do.
Sorry, gotta kind of look down my nose on this one and put on my mini golf connoisseur hat.
You deserve soooooo much better!
All growing up (still am) I am that annoying kid who always wanted to check out every single mini putt there was. I would scout out places before hand, and have managed to find some absolute gems. (Although I still am still looking for the one form Happy Gilmore. NSFW language
)
Putting Edge is the best we have to offer around here. It’s unimaginative and uninspired.
Shame.

Mini-​Putt snob: P

My visit here was part of a surprise birthday extravaganza for my friend. She had no idea what was going on, and when we pulled up, she exclaimed, «OH MY GOD GLOW IN THE DARK MINI GOLF!»
29^th birthday is the black light birthday, don’tcha know?
There were ten of us, so we split into three groups. The black light artwork on the wall is extremely trippy, and gets moreso as you play through (I won’t spoil it, but make sure you look around at all the trippy art.)
I don’t know how long it’ll be before I feel like going back, but it was definitely a great way to kick off a birthday party evening.

This is a super fun place where anyone can play and have fun. It is awesomely decorated with glow in the dark everything, and has 18 fantastic fun holes. I definitely enjoy the loud pop music that keeps you dancing while you wait. They also have an arcade in the lobby which is pretty stocked. And the best part, the course actually looks and feels like they tried to make it a little creative.
Great alternative (and cheaper) to a movie night!

My wife took me here today to play a round of mini golf on a teambuy she bought for this place. The arcade will make you deff from the air hockey table banging back and forth but beside that once you get in the door to golf it is fun. I cannot think of anything wrong with the place. We lost a ball but were able to track it down after a few mins of looking.

I have to take some responsibility for not knowing what I was getting myself into. now having said that I still feel like I was held up at gun point and robbed after leaving there today. (That may have been a little dramatic)
I took my 6 year old nephew and 4 year old niece, it was their idea, they must have seen the sucker sticker glued to my forehead. Having never been there before I was easy prey. Here is my «beef» $ 31 buck a roos for maybe 20 mins of play for the three of us, a family price option would have been nice, it was $ 8.50 under 12, and $ 10.50 12 and over. I don’t want to seem cheap, is it wrong I would spend that on a good bottle of Merlot, but feel I need to complain about spending it on a little game of mini putt putt? Lets take a minute to talk about the arcade games that are in every sq ft of the main entrance and lobby. I am the «fun» aunt so saying no was not an option, $ 20 bucks later we left with a bunch of high quality candy purchased with our winnings from the arcade game tickets.
This is not a bad spot, it was packed, the staff were friendly, they got us in and out quickly, we did not have to wait in between holes long to play, there were a few birthday parties going on, looked like a fun place for that type of thing.
Just be prepared if your going with kiddies and are like me having an issue saying no, then you are looking at a expensive day out!

Finally checked this place out last night with the bf. Had a blast, except for the part where I lost and had a sore loser moment. Im extremely competitive. it hurts sometimes!
It wasnt too busy and we had a great time playing the 18-​hole ‘course’. The music was loud and made me feel like I wanted to go dancing after and the glow-​in-​the-​dark aspect made me feel that if I was a kid it would be extra super exciting in there.
We had a fun time and took them up on the offer to buy a $ 5, 30-​day pass. Even if we only go one more time it will be worth it.
Definitely a great spot for dates or to take kiddos.

Mini golf. In the dark. Under black lights. 18 holes. Pop music.
There. You are now fully prepared for your first Putting Edge experience. Although, if you’ve made so far as to read reviews, I suspect you already had an idea of what you were in for.
I actually dig the Putting Edge. It’s one of the few activities other than eating that don’t make me nervous with threats of injury, embarrassment, or loss of significant wealth. Like any other mini golf, you can truck on in with your whole crew, pick up a putter, a neon ball, and a score sheet and you’re off to the greens. Er… darks.
The skill level required to have fun is nil. Seriously. The holes aren’t any more or less complicated than your average, meaning that with the right luck (or wrong luck depending on how you look at it), you can get PWNed by your five-​year-​old niece just as easily as you can win it all with your own mad skillz.
The only downside for me is the pacing issue. If you’re playing with four people, you’re always going to have pairs breathing down your neck or asking to play through at every turn. This isn’t a huge deal, nor do I think there’s any real solution for it. Still, it’s hard to relax and enjoy your hour or so with friends when you feel like you’re holding other people up.

I really like Putting Edge and make a trip or two every few months. It boasts 18 holes spread over two stories with every square inch glowing in neon fluorescent glory. It’s usually quite empty so bringing a big group has never been a problem for me. Although I’ve been more times than I can count I still haven’t mastered the course and find it equally as challenging every time.
Every few months they seem to put up coupons on Groupon or Team Buy, which can make for a cheap night out.
The only caveat I have is that the music is quite loud, so don’t go if you have a headache. I made that mistake once. I’ve also never seen anyone get a hole in one on the 17^th hole. That thing is tough. Putting Edge is a great date idea or group outing because who doesn’t like mini-​putting.

This place is a lot of fun. If you have a fairly decent-​size group (6 – 8), you can stretch out your bang for your buck by easily spending two hours weaving through the neon jungle in the dark. Just be thoughtful and let others play through if you’re taking a while at each hole.
The «DJ» suffers from split-​personality disorder, I think. Sometimes we go and listen to the same Glee album on repeat. Other times it feels like you’ve been transported to the Dome with synth beats and barely-​beeped expletive-​filled rap. Good thing you’re not here for the music.
If you really want to stretch out your time there, take advantage of the arcade in the lobby. I would recomment the hoops game; if you get your timing down juuuuust right, you can score a nice stack of tickets to cash in for candy or glow in the dark paraphenalia.
The thing that confuses me the most about this place is their special that is a round of putting and a beverage. What’s confusing is that you’re not supposed to drink inside the course, and there’s no place to put down your drinks when it’s your turn to putt. So why bother?
Wear lots of white, keep your purse and coats in the car to avoid carrying anything you don’t need, and just have fun.

I’m almost embarrassed to say that I’m willing to spend a Sunday afternoon at glow-​in-​the-​dark mini-​putt, but aw, heck! Who cares? It’s actually a lot of fun, and the glow in the dark setting is pretty entertaining.
So, if you feel you need an excuse (young children, nieces, nephews) to go, let yourself become a kid for an afternoon and go get your glow bracelet on with some friends, no small children required. Big kids (aka adults) are welcome, and will easily be as giddy as the kids are.

Uh, it’s mini-​golf. Which means it’s fun.
It’s indoor mini-​golf. Which means it’s year-​round fun.
It’s glow-​in-​dark indoor mini-​golf. Which means it’s year-​round super-​fantastic fun!
The only way this place could get better would be to add some moving obstacles.

The Putting Edge is great entertainment! It brings out the kid in you! For under $ 10 you can enjoy a round of glow in the dark mini golf.
Whether you’re looking for something to do on a Friday night or whether you’re going on a date, it’s a great choice. Some of the courses are difficult but it’s a good laugh. I’ve gone with a large crowd and it does take a while to go around with a lot of people but it’s good, cheap fun!

The Putting Edge can be a hilarious time, especially when you’re with a group of people in their mid-​20s to 30s celebrating a birthday after a bender of a night.
For some reason, I have been to this mini-​golf attraction a couple of times; never with children and always on a whim. Last time I went, it was touch and go at first. Everyone was feeling pretty spent from earlier celebrations and the attitudes of the girls who assisted us were far from pleasant. Nothing like living the teen dream, working in Bayers Lake at a mini-​golf center — so I suppose I shouldn’t be too hard on them. But seriously, they were pretty jerky, with no time for questions and a «you’re really bothering me» vibe radiating like whoa.
After an unpleasant employee interaction, the four of us ventured into the black light paradise, music blaring and eyes-​a-​squinting. It turned out to be pretty funny, and some of us turned out to be pretty good (us not necessarily implicating me in this equation). We were passed by eager children a few times, and were asked by the employees to speed up; apparently, being leisurely and enjoying the company of friends is not on the docket at this joint.
There are some weird rules about how many people can play on a team and they do patrol, so make sure you’re not caught playing out of turn or you may get into trouble. All in all, if you’re going for a larf and aren’t taking it all too seriously then I project you will have a dandy time. Just don’t hinge your hopes on grand customer service, because you may be sorely disappointed.

My nemesis: Putting Edge. Its accomplices: my children.
Putting Edge and I don’t get along well. Dark confined spaces with weirdly-​coloured backdrops combined with ear-​shattering music just isn’t my idea of a swell time.
It is, however, for my kids — which is why we go. Honestly, there’s not much better to do on a rainy summer day than to get inside and burn a little energy with extreme mini-​golf like that at Putting Edge.
Each hole is challenging in a unique way: do you have to putt through the tunnel? is the green slanted away from the cup? These are all factors to weigh when lining up your shot.
Putting Edge is best on a weekday afternoon, when there are less people clamouring for you to move onto the next hole. It seems to be particularly popular with the 10 to 14 year old set. The price is reasonable and it fills the void in a city with little inside entertainment outside of theatres.
If you can hack near-​darkness and pounding music, you might even have a good time!

Unfortunately the magical world of putting with glow lights didn’t exist when I was young enough to fully appreciate it. I’ve come to this indoor mini putt complex many times while entertaining my sisters or other children that re frequently entrusted to me. I’ve always spent a fortune on the packages for the rounds of golf, and I also always opt out of playing in favour of watching (and saving the price of an adult pass).
If you are planning on coming with a large group of kids, it might be a good idea to call ahead. I was coerced by a group of seven year olds for quarters for the arcade style claw machine games in the lobby until I gave in a spent 12 dollars on toys that were forgotten by the time we got our glow in the dark golf balls.
Hot Hint: There are extended hours for march break posted on the Putting Edge website. Most days they open at 10!

Putting Edge is great for Birthday Parties. The staff is excellent with the kids. They have different packages to choose from. Provide you a room, and take control of the gang. It is great. When we were there it was pretty crazy with parties. But all were having fun.
They will allow you to bring in Pizza as well.
The kids love it and the adults become kids.

Just don’t wear black… I’m serious.
I love Putting Edge. It’s the only place in Halifax that has glow-​in-​the-​dark mini-​golf and its a blast! Great first date idea because you get to have fun and if you aren’t one of those annoyingly competitive people, you’ll have a successful first date.
I’d say I go here once every year or two with friends or when I try the dating scene in the city. Its extremely inexpensive at $ 10 and is a good alternative to going and seeing a movie if you have to make a choice between the two.
The staff here are nice enough. Not impressive but never turned me off from coming. They are average but some can also have a fun sense of humor. Don’t dare to play against them though because one of them was about to «clean the streets with me,» on the mini-​golf floor. I have a feeling he would have been good to so I backed down and didn’t tempt fate.
This is a great place for dates, birthday parties, group events and much more! No one has tried to open up a similar place to the best of my knowledge and it makes sense. I wouldn’t want to compete with someone who has been doing it right for a long time. It’d be too stiff competition. However, I do think there is room to have another Putting Edge closer to downtown Halifax so I hope they do a little expansion. But for now, I don’t mind making the trip to Bayers lake.

Glow-​in-​the-​dark ANYTHING is fun, really, when you get right down to it. So, it kind of goes without saying that Glow-​in-​the-​dark mini-​golf is heaps of fun.
The beauty of mini-​golf is that anyone can play it, and everyone seems to be competing at the same level. Oh, sure, there are probably some serious golfers who might take it as seriously as the real game, but for the most part, it’s anybody’s guess whether the 7-​year old or the 70-​year old in your group is going to win.
The course is challenging enough to be fun, and the blacklight element just makes it even more of a memorable experience — for kids of all ages.

The Putting Edge is an indoor, 18-​hole, glow in the dark mini-​golf course, and is the only one of it’s kind in the greater Halifax area.
Whether you’re going on a date, or for a birthday party, the Putting Edge is always a lot of fun. It costs approximately $ 10 per player, and is fun for all ages. It will probably take a little over an hour to complete the course. For the added glow in the dark affect, it’s a good idea to wear white items, or, if you forget, you can often purchase glow bracelets and other accessories inside. It truly is a fun and unique experience that everyone should try at least once!
