while we were here, we did both the mini golf and the escape room. we stayed in portland for only 5 days and ended up spending two of our evenings here. the mini golf was really well decorated and fun. the staff cleaned our golf clubs before giving them to us (we didnt ask) which made me feel a lot better about how many people have probably touched them. the staff was so friendly every time we talked to one of them and were generally just pleasant to talk to. i feel like i could have made friends with any of them. the escape room was a lot of fun with puzzles that were tricky but not too difficult. we didn't end up finishing it, but we got very close. i would recommend doing this with more than two people. i do have to mention that there are a lot of sudden noises and there are some parts of the room that were a bit scary- not scared for my life but definitely startled. they didn't warn about these but they were very cautious about making sure we were okay with flashing lights and small confined spaces. i wouldnt bring anyone younger than 13 to this room. overall a wonderful experience and a great place to spend an evening (or two) read more

Glowing Greens - the neon golf course - Mini Golf Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Such a good time whether it's for a date night, family outing, or fun with friends! Not only does Glowing Greens feature 13 holes of blacklight miniature golf with 3D graphics and pirate themed animatronics, but also houses axe throwing and escape rooms! I love that Glowing Greens has time slots, which elevates stress and allows you to fully enjoy each round without the pressure of other people waiting behind you. Awesome experience and truly saved our night after rain ruined our original plans! read more

This place was crazy good fun! My husband and I were the oldest patrons there, but that did not deter us! Lots of families and young couples. We did the glow in the dark putt putt golf, 13 holes and it was so much fun! It took about 45 minutes to go through the course. Adult beverages are available as well as soft drinks and snacks. They also have escape rooms that looked really fun and exciting. Also a separate room for ax throwing if you really want to get your regressions out it looked like this was the place to do it! Highly recommend this. read more

We went last minute and it was great! Staff were nice, and the concept is awesome! each course was decorative. The only things was there was a family in front of us that were going slowly so we kept having to wait for the next course but other than that I would go again! read more

Very fun mini golfing experience! The decorations are top-notch from the moving objects to the colorful murals. There are 13 holes which are pretty easy to get through. They provide you with a putter, golf ball, and score sheet. If you come in a big group, you'll be split into smaller groups. There are no storage lockers or cubbies so everything you bring you have to carry along with you. read more

Not a bad spot. Went for my hubs birthday. Little wait but not bad Don't go with stuff to carry. Jacket or such. No place to put them! The mini golf was good. They serve snacks and drinks with a place to sit and wait or carry it with you. They had ax throwing and escape rooms too. read more

Located in Portland, it is downstairs from street level. You will see a pirate statue outside on the street. Park in that garage, it was only $3 for the hour and a half we were there. The parking garage elevator takes you right inside. It's a really fun pirate and ocean theme. Lots of props and figures decorate the course. The holes are a little harder for younger kids but fun for adults. They do a good job cramming in the 12 holes with the tight space. There is also axe throwing which we might try next time. Staff was helpful and friendly! Suggest making a reservation online especially on the weekends. They are timed slots. ***it would be nice if there was a waiter walking around taking drink orders. The snack bar needs an upgrade. Maybe have specials for night time, there is space to sit down and eat hot food. It was fun and we will be back! read more

Axe throwing was a ton of fun, the axe master got us started pretty quick and gave us some more toys like ninja stars after we got the hang of things. The minigolf was alright, the courses themselves left a bit to be desired (not a lot of variety or interesting gimmicks after the first few holes) but the ambiance and decor is the main draw here. The whole place is decked out like a neon blacklit pirate's village/pirate cove/shipwreck that looks super cool. Honestly just making our way through the space and looking at the scenery was more fun than the golf itself. The staff were all really pleasant and informative. We didn't have time to do the escape rooms, so we may have to check those out next time we're in the area. read more

We had tried mini golf here many years ago. Tried again recently and realized that they need reservations now, which get pretty booked up on weekends. It was fairly quick to do that. Once we reached, check in process was very quick too. Our 10 year old really enjoyed the mini golf here. They've really done a great job with the design of the place. Every putting segment has a name. There are just not enough of them. They just had a 12 hole course. It went by really quick. Otherwise, it was great fun. read more

I know when you see the name of this place you automatically think of putt-putt. But it is so much more than miniature golf. I think you should know this just by passing the knight that guards the door on the street. I was actually kind of excited by this, with it being so close to where I was staying and the fact that it is basically connected to another hotel in downtown. However, I didn't come here for some indoor greens, I came here for the escape room. Booking the room was easy, went online earlier in the day and secured the room for the number of people that were going to show up. We all gathered before our start time and heading inside. We were greeted at the desk and told that it was going to be a few more minutes until the room would be ready. They had to reset it from the group that was ahead of us. While we waited we sat in the tabled area right off the escape room area. From here you get a good view of all this place has to offer. The golf course is what you would expect, dark, glow in the dark paint, black lights. There is also axe throwing in here as well, but again, we didn't come for that. Once we entered the room we did the rundown of the rules, backstory of the room, and everything else they cover before you start. Once we went through all that we were sent on our way to figure out our escape. The room was really well put together. The story held for the room, the puzzles were tough, but not too tough, and they were correct that you shouldn't be afraid of tight spaces. See, there are multiple areas within the room that will put you in a tight spot. If you don't have a good group together, this can be a spot of contention. Especially with the one area where it will make you all be in one area at once until you figure out the clue to get out of that space. My group worked together and we did manage to escape. I don't think that we even used a clue while in here. I believe we were the fastest that day to escape this room. read more

Glowing Greens - Mini Golf Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Way over priced for mini golf. The staff members who checked us in were obviously annoyed that we were coming in 1hr till closing time. He was rude and told us to be more considerate next time. There was a staff member right on our heels the whole time so that they could clean after we finished the hole. We had about 2 holes left when they started vacuuming the course. Keep in mind there was about 30min to closing time. Outside of that, the theme decors were nice but the holes themselves were boring and uncreative. I'm upset that I spend my money on such a crappy place. Go anywhere else. read more

What a fun spot! I went for date night on a Tuesday and we had the place to ourselves. It's such cool spot- unlike anywhere I've ever been. Each hole is completely different and has its own cool design. I also appreciate that there were plenty of spots to put my purse and drinks. They serve food and drinks, but I didn't try the food. Drinks were pretty good. The whole place is dark and glowy and great for taking photos and feeling immersed in the land. Friendly employees, clean, and super interactive and fun course. I will definitely be back! read more

Went on a day date to this fun place! Prices were a bit steep, but I can understand the cost for the experience. We did the black light mini golf and an escape room. The mini golf was super fun. Each hole was unique and not too difficult. We did the Hotel themed escape room. I loved the special effects and different rooms we had to open. The difficulty level was spot on for us. Best part was that we escaped with 7 minutes to spare. We arrived early for our reservation and the folks were able to adjust so we could do our room early. Thank you for being accommodating! Would love to go back! read more

This is the last activity boyfriend and I did during our time in Portland before we headed to the airport. This was a great way to end our time in Portland! We came here for Wicked Axe, even though mini golf seems to be a huge draw here. All the sets and props and lighting created a very fun atmosphere. On the day we came, we were the only ones who came for axe throwing. We had a supervisor who reviewed axe throwing safety with us, and watched us from a stand as we took turns throwing axes. He was really great with giving pointers on how I could improve my throws and aims too. I've been at another axe-throwing place before, and was very very frustrated, and really appreciate that since it was just me and my boyfriend as opposed to a group of friends, we both got a lot of axe-throwing practice. My boyfriend also took plenty of videos and photos of me throwing the axes. We had a great one hour here before taking off for the airport and heading home. read more

We had a blast at glowing greens! We had some friends visiting from out of town and decided to reserve a 4 pm slot. Parking is a breeze as it has an elevator inside directly to the parking structure. We arrived right at 4 and the person at the counter was so friendly, welcoming us so warmly. We ordered our drinks from the same counter and the selection is rather impressive! They had much more to choose from than I was expecting. My partner got a beer and I enjoyed a cider. We had a blast once we hit the course and thoroughly enjoyed the glowing aspects! It took us about an hour with a group of 4. The person at the counter suggested 3D glasses for the course and I could absolutely see why!! I imagine it would have been even cooler, we def regretted not getting them. We have already talked about making plans to go back for the ax throwing and escape rooms. Both activities look SO fun! All in all, we loved it and would recommend! read more

Good service and the pizza there was super good. The drinks were very affordable and good. The putt putt was really fun. They have some wholes where you spin a wheel and gives you different ways to play the whole which makes it very fun and entertaining. read more

Me and my boyfriend came here for date night. The glow in the dark mini golf is fun. Reminds me of disco bowling. We also played laser tag against a family and their kids. Didn't realize how competitive I was lol. Sober fun! read more

We came in hopes of doing the escape room, but we didn't have a reservation and it was fully booked so we did axe throwing. The guy who helped us at the front desk was really nice and even gave us a discount card for 10% off if we decide to come back for the escape room since we didn't get to do it this time. We did the axe throwing for 30 minutes for $30. We've gone axe throwing before and It seemed kinda pricey, but it was well worth it. They gave us three different weapons: the regular axe, a double sided axe and throwing stars (my personal fav). This experience made the price well worth it because most places only offer the axe. Dominic was our throwing guide and he was super kind and helpful. I would recommend coming here for a date, to kill time, or just an outing. We really enjoyed ourselves. read more

Hands down the best mini-golf spot in Portland! The level of detail in the design of the golf course is seriously impressive. Plus, they've got fantastic beer and drinks on the menu. I'm definitely coming back to throw my shot at ax throwing and maybe the escape room. The only drawback is the location (downtown) and the parking situation. read more

I would recommend this place ONLY if you came with a group of 5+ people. Mini-golfing with less than 3 people means you'll get through this very small space very quickly. We were disappointed with our experience because of this - the last hole wasn't clear with what to do when our game was over so my mom ended up scoring someone else's ball she thought it was hers. Don't blame her. Anyway, the staff were nice. The space was decently cleaned. read more

This place is underground and right beside a parking garage. They have a bar area that serves drinks but they do not sell food. You can order foods through a delivery app. It costs about $12 for 13 holes. The place is decorated to perfection. They also have an ax throwing cage down here. The holes were fun to play but we were stuck behind a party of 5. The place does it's best to buffer between parties but it doesn't always work out. I will be sure to return with more friends. read more

Wow me and my family had an amazing time here my kids age 5 abs 2 had fun also Me and my husband got a drink to take along with us and we had a good game while the kids were playing together so I really recommend it for small kids and parents to have fun!!

[Pre-COVID experience] I came here with a group of friends while on a roadtrip from Bay Area to Oregon. My friend really wanted to do an escape room in in Portland and I'm glad she found this place! It's been a while since our experience here, but I couldn't stop comparing all the escape rooms to the one we did here. I was terrified of the room at first, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating all the props and decoration. The puzzles were challenging, but this was the first successful attempt our group had with escape room (it was my 2nd/3rd escape room ever). read more

We had a party of 4 doing the escape room it was our first time and we were so excited! Hotel no vacancy is the room we booked, everything was going great until we got in a room with a door malfunctioning. The person being the game master paused our game after we had tried to correct code multiple times and the door wouldn't open. Then he told us to slide the door (it was a barn door style with a slide) it was obviously not correctly on the tracks when we started anyhow it came off the track and a person from our group reset it quickly. They made us exit before the end of our time and we were almost to the end. Then had us sit in a waiting area well they checked into things and acted like we damaged their room. Once they checked the door and it was fine they let us got to go back in with two minutes in the last room, it was a major bummer and after being treated poorly none of were really into it anymore and were ready to leave. A total let down for my first escape room experience. The staff was rude to us after we were told to slide to door it wasn't our fault it came off the track. No one apologized for treating us poorly, it's my birthday trip and I'm super bummed. We planned on going back and trying the other escape room as well as some of the other activities they had to offer but I will not give them one more penny after this experience. read more

We had a group of 5 that went to the escape room. It was such a great room! Actually, I think 6 rooms within the game. It was challenging and fun. Loved the old motel theme and the elevator! Definitely recommend this room if you love escape rooms. read more

Glowing Greens - We escaped! - Mini Golf Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I had lots of fun here!! It is a pirate themed indoor mini golf with some other businesses like an escape room. I thought the theming was fun and they spaced us out well to mostly avoid crowding around one hole. Each hole had a table for drinks & bags, and to write on. Everything was clean. Bathrooms were also good (and also had showers which was interesting). read more

Got some gift certificates for Christmas so decided to come here during the winter break with the kids for a round of mini golf. We had such a great time. It's a glow in the dark blacklight situation with a skeleton pirate theme. Side note: what is it with pirate-themed mini golf courses? They are everywhere! Anyway, there are 13 holes with skeletons that jump out at you, gates that open by themselves, boxes that levitate, and more. It was more interesting than other mini golf courses I've played that don't have as much going on. The staff were super friendly, and they keep the teams spaced out so people aren't breathing down your neck waiting on you to finish a hole. The kids had a lot of fun and I wouldn't be surprised if they ask to go back sometime. read more

Looking for something fun to do? Why not try glow in the dark mini golf, axe throwing or an escape room!! Mini golf is generally fun however in the dark with glow in the dark theme makes it even better! Online booking made it super easy! Only complaint I had was there were 2 bigger groups in front of us so there was alot of waiting around, spacing out the groups better might have helped. Otherwise still a lot of fun. We came back another day for axe throwing and it was something different to try. Overall very fun. read more

Had so much fun at Glowing Greens today. Reserving online makes the process super easy: just let the front desk know your name and you're ready to play! The price for a 13-hole putt putt golf course was $15/person on a Sunday. I'm not sure if this is considered expensive or not but I thought it was pretty reasonable for about 30-45 minutes of tee-time. I loved how the whole course was an underwater, "Davy Jones Locker" theme, which made the glow-in-the-dark effects all the more fun and "spooky". Each course was beautifully decorated as well. As a very inexperienced putt putt-golfer, this course was moderately challenging for me, even after I got into the "swing" of things (pun intended). The staff was incredibly friendly and the facilities were clean and well kept. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a low-key, chill activity for the day. read more

Never thought I'd get to play glow-in-the-dark mini golf in downtown Portland! My boyfriend and I had time on our hands between some touristing activities and were pleasantly surprised by this conveniently located putt putt joint. We got lucky with parking and found a spot just a few blocks away, too. If you're a Pirates of the Caribbean nut like me, you'll definitely appreciate the deep sea, pirate-themed decors of Glowing Greens. The owners had recently remodeled the place so everything was super fresh! Unfortunately, our excitement quickly tapered down once we got on the course. As awesome as the glowing sharks, skeletons, and treasures were, there wasn't enough emphasis on game play and the holes turned out to be way simple and redundant-- so much that we played too quickly and wound up waiting around after catching up to the two parties that started before us. Despite how cool the dark room was, we also had a hard time seeing where the starting points were and how the holes actually worked. We get weirdly competitive about mini golf and I believe this was what led to my ultimate defeat... In the end, we still had a pretty fun time at Glowing Greens. Def worth checking out for those who enjoy a more mild game of mini golf, dig fun black light effects, need a chill birthday party spot, support local biz, or all of the above! read more

Sea Pirate Theme is so on point! The space itself has 13 holes and is a bit small, so I can imagine it can get pretty packed. There are different jump scares hidden throughout the course as well. Perfect activity for a gloomy Portland day, definitely recommend! read more

First off, let me begin with I LOVE this mini golf course. We did the escape room as well and it's amazing. Sadly, on this visit we were completely turned off by the counter staff. One staff member in particular. Because of the lame Covid rules, the only description I have is she is probably over 45. Her hair is long and when we were there (1/30/21) she wore it parted in the middle and braided- it maybe grey or blond. When we walked up to the counter we said hi and she followed with "Did you make a booking online?" We stated we had not. To which she replied "We can't guarantee a spot if you do not reserve online". Mind you the lobby is empty. She then proceeded to act completely put out to even perform her small tasks of giving us golf balls and golf putters. Someone in our party asked if we could also try the Escape Room. She made it obvious we were an issue and that helping us have a good time was not her priority. She told us we didn't have a reservation and that if we wanted to do the escape room we would need to finish our golfing in 25 mins with our party if 5. Thankfully another employee stated we could join the upcoming Escape Room first and then complete our mini golf. The angry employee then told us to hurry up and place our putters on the counter and was very particular in how we placed them. She then told us if we didn't place them exactly how she wanted them we would be adding more work for her to clean them. Ok Karen thanks! Overall, this employee made our experience such a downer. I have been here before and had a wonderful time. It's a shame they are allowing such a negative person run their counter / greet their customers. read more

We held a group team building event here. 70 employees! We were very disrespected by the management, they even refused to accept driver's license from my colleagues from Germany and Israel!! Needless to say the 15 team members and their families that live in Portland won't be back!! read more

First of all, have had reservations booked for weeks. Called in, 2 hours prior to tee time to ask if we were running late if it would be an issue, woman who answered the phone was the rudest and condescending Individual to the importance of how fast they were filling up! It will be interesting to see how our overall experience will be. It's a Friday in Portland, anyone knows there is always a chance traffic could be bad, I had a level of respect for calling where not even a thank you for calling to ask would of ever been considered. read more

I'd give 0 stars if Yelp let me. A group of us, 12 total, had made reservations online that were pre-paid for. Arrived 7 minutes late & were denied & told "you shouldn't have been late". Mind you, they have a sign posted in their lobby that states if you're 15 minutes late you could lose your spot. & when asked about the sign, the man-child replied "that's outdated & we just haven't changed it". As we were leaving, they made comments & were laughing. Extremely childish & rude, for no reason. Like you work at a mini-golf place... It's never that serious. read more

The lady running the front desk addressed us as though we were children on a field trip and she was a mom/chaperone. Very disrespectful and lacking in the most common customer service practices. Venue was cool, but probably won't return due to the attitude from the staff. read more

We had an amazing time. Very fun! You have to purchase tickets ahead of time. Very clean. Friendly, professional and courteous staff.

Definitely worth the experience and very fair priced. read more
