The Putting Edge in Novi offers free miniature golfing for kids on Tuesdays!  All you have to do is stop by any Putting Edge on Tuesday, pay for one general admission for an adult and then your child will get a junior admission (for children 12 and under) for free!  This offer is valid year-round except March and Spring Break.

For those who have never been to Putting Edge, it is a great place to take the family.  Not only does it offer glow-in-the-dark mini golf, there is also an arcade and food & drinks!  Don't forget to wear white or lighter colors so you can "glow"!
