A trend for amusements puts a colorful twist on traditional miniature golf by adding black lights for glow-in-the-dark play. The sites are indoors and can operate year-round, regardless of the weather.

Opry Glowgolf, located inside Independence Mall in Wilmington, is one such site. Kids and adults alike get a kick out of its boldly illuminated, ocean-themed courses. General admission covers the cost of unlimited play for the day, and is $8; kids age 5 and under, military and handicap are $6.
