Glowing Greens

This review is for Mental Trap inside of Glowing Greens. I’m really torn between giving a 3 star & a 4 star review.
I give them 4 stars for how well thought out the back story is for the Experiment room as well as for the décor & all the amazing details of the room (s). The fact that our escape room had multiple compartments/​rooms/​areas to it was awesome. And lastly for 4 stars is their Tesla coil. It was crazy loud, but it was a super cool element. We expect nothing less of 13^th Door.
However… As far as wanting to give them 3 stars… The puzzles were incredibly difficult for 35 minutes (for us) so we spent a good portion of our time feeling frustrated & like we weren’t going to succeed then all of a sudden it was incredibly easy. I wish it had been more evenly distributed, but I get it. It’s how we performed on these particular puzzles, but for all 5 of us in our party it was quite anticlimactic at the end after SO much stress & frustration at the beginning/​the majority of our time.

It was a great, inexpensive start to our evening. The staff was great! The course was fun, and we had a great time! Thanks!

Went here yesterday for a work event. Had an awesome time. It was really fun playing with different rules for every hole.

Holy crap this place is a trip! We walked in to see what it was all about and it was amazing! At first we thought it was labor tag which we would not have done but it was mini golf! MINI GOLF! Infested by aliens!!! WHAT?! Totally amazing and can’t wait to come here for date night!

I walked through the «space shuttle» doors expecting an elaborate mini golf course. The art and craftsmanship that went into designing all the aliens and painting the walls built my expectations through the roof. BUT Instead of getting a course with my golf ball flying through space, knocking ghoulish creatures over, and rolling through toxic ooze, I was presented with a COMPLETELY flat course with maybe a single ramp… I was horribly misled. I spent most my time during my visit taunting the giant mutant alien at the end of the course (trying to use my imagination).
A few other downers: I was upset by the terrible sound system — it was hardly heard and didn’t get me «pumped» for mini golf. There needs to be more flashing lights. There was no food or snacks… :(It was in a really deserted/​dark location.
I give it one star for the mini golf portion.
As for the fun, intricate and well crafted mutant alien set up, I give it a four star.
HINT: if you want to have a good time, toke up in your car before going in. Otherwise, I do not recommend it.

For the money this was fun! If you play a second round it’s half off! For what I wanted– $ 10 for a fun Saturday night– it was just what I was looking for.

I don’t know what all ya’ll talkin’ ’bout but this place is beyond terrible. From the sub par artwork to the uncreative layout it reeks of a do-​it-​yourself-​er tryin’ to make a few buckaroos. If you would like to play the same hole eighteen times this place might be worth half what they charge. It’s a shame to see such an excellent concept destroyed by penny-​pinching tactics which result in a very cheap/​tacky execution.

Meant for kids but, NOT a place for kids. It’s located next to a sleazy bar. It has a garage feel. The place is dirty. You could do a better job in your own backyard. The staff could use a bath. Bring lots of sanitizer

I took my family here on a Friday afternoon. It wasn’t busy which was nice. But the entire place reeked of weed. I’m no square and do my share of herbal recreation but in a place where I’m bringing kids maybe toke up outside and not in your tiny employee office that is right up front and doesn’t appear to have any ventilation. We ended up hurrying through the course because it seriously smelled up the entire place. 55 bucks for all of us and we were there for maybe half an hour. Seemed a bit spendy for the experience.

Went to Glowing Greens in Beaverton since they had a Amazon Local Deal for $ 10 for two! (normally $ 10 each). The location is in the plaza with K-​mart which we missed at first since their sign is just a plastic banner and hard to read from Murray BLVD.
It was an indoor place with an interesting entrance, exposing you to what to expect from the course. the entrance shows the front desk, which starts off the black light theme. The course was a space theme which is different from their pirate theme in Portland. Was a little confused why they were selling pirate nik-​naks there in their glass case instead of space themed ones. They offer small candy and snack and drinks. They offer 3-​D glasses which I thought would have been cool really makes the course come more to life and a bit more exciting. It was nice because there was only one other couple in there so it wasnt over crowded. Although we could see where the animatronics were since it so open and the other couple were 3 – 4 holes in front of us.
It has 18 holes, a few a little more difficult with a tilted cup to sway the ball way from it, but over all an easy course. the only difficulty is finding the right angle to putt from since there are no elevation changes or large obstacles (like a windmill or hole to HAVE to shoot to).

I really wish they had stands to put our score card, we ended up using the decorations that were at height to write on. The music was just an easy listening radio station with not theme music at all. The difficulty could have been different and would be more worth the price. I would come here again but probably before 5pm where they offer their discount.

This is definitely not your elaborate mini golf course with moving obstacles, water hazards, secret holes that lead to the cup for a nice hole in one, or any of that other fun stuff. The concept of this course is that it glows (neon) under the black lights equipped throughout the course– hints, «Glowing Greens». The course is extremely flat with no obstacles. The holes are designed using painted 4×4 lumber, which is laid out so that the hole is only reachable by banking your ball off of corners. To make things a little more interesting, they do have alternate «rules» to play each hole on the back of the scorecard. The course will last you about 30 minutes if you take your time.
All-​in-​all, I would only find myself going here if I was desperate for some entertainment. They do not serve alcohol, but there is a dive bar right next door. I highly suggest the adults get some beverages in them before playing ;)

I took my girlfriend here on a date and we had an absolute blast. I’ve been to a few mini-​golf locations before and I thought the design and ambiance of this location was completely unique. It’s alien themed with black-​lighting. There is basically no elevation gain or loss throughout the course since it is built indoors. Music was okay and the staff friendly enough. We discovered on the back of the scorecard «house rules» for playing the game and we had an absolute blast playing by these unique rules. Only gripe would be the two groups in front of us were moving WAY too slow. There was no one behind us so we’d just go back and play a hole or two so we probably ended up playing some 28 holes after it was all said and done. All in all, I would highly recommend it.

This review is for their alien themed Beaverton location. If you have a GPS this place may be a challenge to find. Here is a tip; It is in the same plaza as Kmart and right next door to Abaraochi Indian restaurant. We went for my husbands birthday because it states on their website you get a round for free on your birthday so we decided to cash in on that deal. Pretty much what you would expect psychedelic space themed murals, scary alien figures throughout. A few suggestions would be to make a marker where patrons are to T off at. Mark the route the ball is suppose to go in each challenge. We ended up missing some things that one was suppose to shoot the ball through because things were not marked. Also make the course a little more challenging. Not a whole lot going on at most of the holes. We had fun. We would do this again.

This place just recently opened and it was fun. It’s designed for a party of 4 so if you have a larger group you should split up to no more than 4 on a hole at the same time so your golf balls don’t get mixed up. The overall experience was fun for all ages. We were age ranged between 55 – 14. Everyone had a good time. They do have coat check for an additional cost but we chose to keep ours with us. Next time I’ll just lock stuff in the car. The art work and lay out is really cool. Someone paid attention to each hole and by that I mean the physics behind each hole was pretty cool. You just have to figure each one out.
A fun time for everyone. I recommend it for families.

This place just opened up last weekend! I love miniature golf, so the addition of another place around town to get that fix is awesome for me.
Down to the details:
It is indoors, which is a great idea for Portland. This allows for the fun to happen year-​round. The decorations at this location are alien-​themed. It might be a little bit scary for some younger children, but I definitely don’t think it is as spooky at the Portland location.
All of the decorations are in glow in the dark paint, and they keep the lights pretty dim. The cashiers offered my group 3-​D glasses, but after trying them on, I wasn’t really sold on the idea. (I hate 3-​D movies, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.) The decorations are pretty awesome, and they put a lot of detail in them.
After doing the course, I was bummed out to realize that very few of the holes had a change in elevation. Most of the challenges came from the shape of the course. Additionally, they didn’t have any little tables to write you score on at the end of each hole. They did have a large number of trash cans though? Additionally, the music they were playing didn’t really go with the ambiance of the course.
Those are little gripes, and overall the place was pretty great. Since it was brand new, everything was in good repair. I wish they had had a few more of the holes where you hit it into a big object (like a house) and it comes out a random hole in a separate location, but that is more personal preference.
The location is next to K-​Mart.
On the back of the score card, they also had special «fun» rules for each hole if you are into that sort of thing.
I’d definitely come back here.
