A pun-tastic name isn’t the only cool feature that Putting Edge in Norridge has to offer. Its 18-hole course is an immersive dive into a neon world of black lights and glow-in-the-dark scenes. Colorful sculptures resembling trees, animals, roads, and more will light up your game and give every member of your family plenty to take in.<\/p>

Putting Edge is great for a quick outing — average playtime is 45 minutes to an hour — or a whole afternoon. Once you’ve hit all 18 holes, hop over to the complex’s interactive arcade.
