Glow-in-the-Dark Mini Golf

Where should you GLOW today?

Inside Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center


MEMPHIS, Tenn., Jan. 23, 2002 - MEMPHIS IS BEING INVADED BY ALIENS! Or so you would think after playing the 18th hole at Putting Edge, the ultimate Glow-in-the-Dark miniature golf entertainment facility. Scheduled to open in mid-December, the black-light facility immerses players in a kaleidoscope of dazzling colors, themes and images. The 18-hole Putting Edge course challenges and entertains – from the seasoned pro to the first-time player.

Located in the heart of Downtown Memphis inside the 300,000-square foot Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center, the Putting Edge creates an exciting environment that enables golfers to have more fun while focused on getting the ball in the cup. "Putting Edge is an exciting compliment to the Center because it’s such great way for families to spend time together, regardless of the weather," said Andrew J. Groveman, senior vice president of Belz Enterprises and the developers of Peabody Place.

The Memphis Putting Edge will take players on an active adventure with play through a coral reef, Inca ruins and into the far reaches of Outer Space.

"This is the twelfth facility for Putting Edge and one of the best yet," according to Chuck Thibeault, marketing manager for Putting Edge Corp. of Oakville, Ontario Canada.

"Peabody Place Entertainment and Retail Center combines with the Putting Edge for a perfect fit," says Thibeault. "The Center is one of the top entertainment destinations in Memphis. Putting Edge compliments this development by providing a fun, safe and active entertainment experience, that can be enjoyed by people of all ages."

Putting Edge is for "all ages" because on any given day it's not uncommon to host a six-year-old's birthday party, a group of young adults and a group of seniors.

"Putting Edge is more than just for kids. In fact, the majority of players are more than 18 years of age," says Thibeault. "We open early and close late and are proud of the fact that we can provide an active entertainment destination that caters to so many types – families, community groups, corporations, and groups of friends."

Open Mondays through Thursdays 10 a.m. until Midnight; Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. - 2 a.m.; and Sundays, 10 a.m. - Midnight, golfers of all ages will find a variety of challenges whenever they choose to play.

The 18-hole course may be played by adults for $7, and only $5 for children under 8-years of age or seniors. The Memphis Putting Edge – it's nothing short of the "PAR-fect" entertainment destination.
