    Please share your experiences! I want to try it out but don't know where they have these in the United States. I know my buddy played overseas somewhere. A quick google search didn't offer much! I live in Northern California SF Bay Area.

    Are you referring to playing with neon lighted golf balls.  Our course does it on occasions.   They use some type of glow light on the pins.  Never appealed to me, not into captains choice events, so never tried it.   I would recommend calling courses in area to see who does these type events.  Don't think they would advertise on the internet or at least they are not in our area.  They post them on the door to the pro shop.  Good luck.

    Our municipal courses here in Wichita, KS offer a "Neon Night" tournament once a year. We typically play 9 just before dark starting at 7 then eat then re-shotgun on the back using the neon balls, rope lights on fairways, and glow sticks lighting the pins. Our golfers really enjoy it. Personally, I haven't played in it, just helped to run the event. Looks like fun though!

    Yes, I have played and it was really fun. I remember I had 4 holes left to play and I checked my phone and it was 12:03am. It was really cool the way the balls glowed and how the flags and entire course was lit up.

    I really recommend it. Walking around a dark course with flashlights is a lot of fun. It's also cool to see your glowing ball flying and rolling against a pitch black background. Extra bonus if it is a clear night. Like an earlier poster said, you may have to make calls to courses to track down an event. They seem to be more common at 9 hole and executive courses.

    My country club just recently put on an amazing tournament of night golf except we called it Glow Golf. It was so much fun but the golf balls used are extremely hard...harder than a Top Flite if you can believe it also they carry about 1/3 less than a normal golf ball. If you are looking for some fun with a group of friends I would recommend playing!!  

    Play well!! M.K.

    M.K., can I borrow your clubs to play in one of those events.  Those balls sound to hard to hit my Titleist clubs with.  I have a hard enough time seeing the ball in the day time.  Sure not going to play in the dark.  You guys have fun on the course and at the 19th hole.  cheers, chuck

    There use to be a 6 hole par 3 course here in Dallas that was lit up with big stadium lights. There is a similar course in Gulf Shores Alabama. It was pretty cool to play a couple of times.

    I've never played in a night golf tournament but my buddies and I work at s golf course and a lot of times when we get off we go play until we can't even see the club head on the grass. It's a lot of fun but I would definitely recommend buying glow in the dark balls or using balls you don't care about because in Colorado in fall come 4:45 or 5, it's almost impossible to see the ball. It's a good way to teach yourself to rely on feel to find your ball.

    We play here in East Tennessee. The golf balls we use have led lights that come on upon impact. They aren't quite as hard as the others I've seen. I work at my local club and me and my buddies will go play nine about every night after I get the course closed down.

    My home club put on a night golf event a few weeks ago. In the UK there's companies that you can pay to come in and set everything up for you.

    Played at West End GC in Gainesville, FL a few times under the lights years ago. Fun!

    Hi Sean. If it's golf with a glow ball at dark with a flash light, no, I have not tried that, although it sounds like a lot of fun. But if you mean lighting up the whole golf course at night making it seem daylight, Yes, I have! And yes, overseas, Thailand. I've played a few night golf out there on different occasional visits. Also, Southern California has one in the lower desert, Coachella Valley, better known as the Palm Springs area. There's an executive course out there that is well lit at night- up to 10:00PM only. Indio Municipal GC. I've only played this course a couple of times. It's a fun little course and it makes for a great walk.
