Glow Putt Mini Golf — Attraction in Oʻahu

This evening February 13, my husband, my 3 children and I went into Glow Putt. My older 2 children (daughter and son) are on the spectrum for autism, and my youngest daughter is not. My son wanted to play so we went in.

Those families who have children/ adults who are in the spectrum can understand that many times their attention span is short and may at times, not want to fully complete a task/ game right?

Keep in mind, the WHOLE TIME WE WERE THERE IT WAS EMPTY... NO ONE AT ALL CAME IN OR OUT...

Anywho, the haole woman that was working checked us in and I told her 1 child. My son and daughter alternated turns, that way he was kept engaged, he was given breaks AND we were able to keep moving... keeping him stimulated, happy, excited, and "flowing" right through.

We did NOT putt 2 or 3 times per course. 1 time through all 18 courses, and it was either my son or daughter who did it.

We came to the end, and my son, all by himself made the last putt! So happy for him. I had a feeling the woman was gonna give us trouble because she saw the 2 children alternating. So I was prepared to educate her on my children and autism.

Yep, she's like, "I'll let it go this time. But next time please be honest...". Excuse me? We paid for 1 game, and we DID do one game ok? I wish the workers for 1... would be understanding to individuals with special needs, that a lot of times to do something, they need help, guidance, breaks, support... and OUR 1 GAME, may look completely different than another person's 1 game. To get through it my son needed help from his little sister.

I dunno, I just wish this worker was a better listener and just more understanding. It was EMPTY, it's like she had nothing better to do but "tell me to be honest -_-".. really? I mentioned to her how my son is autistic and his attention span etc. So his sister helped etc... but she still, "I'll let it go this time..." That was enough for me. C'mon glow putt, hire workers who understand and have a heart, and wants to help others who are different have a place to come and have fun.

And she had 3 lights to give us at the end, i only took 1 since I only paid for 1. My goshness....... Inclusiveness is huge and acceptance and appreciation is huge....i hope this place does better at being kind and understanding.

Other than the worker and her weird vibe, it was a great evening at...

Overpriced and average. Children are $6, Adults are $18. They consider 6 years + as an adult.

This place is held together with torn up duct tape. Course hasn't changed or improved on the 13+ years I've lived here.

The woman who runs it is a joke. Although it was empty , she told me I couldn't have my stroller, but would she say that to a person in a wheelchair? The stroller is smaller than a wheelchair. The answer is absolutely not. But somehow an infant gets less respect than an adult who can't walk.

In all honesty they have so many little rules and taps on your shoulder narking you that it isn't worth it.

Children are $6...

My family and I had such a great time at the glow putt in windward mall. We went during the week day and it was empty. The lady running the glow putt was very friendly and accommodating. I’ve walked past this place a bunch of times and this was the first time going in. I’ll definitely be going more often. My 2.5 year old loved it. Looking at all the glowing animals and the fun putting ranges made even me want to join in. I HIGHLY recommend this place, especially if you have kids. You won’t regret it...oh and did I mention it’s indoors!?...
