I’ll never forget the time I got to play golf at night.
It’s actually a big thing down in Texas during the summer because of the stifling 100+ degree days. It’s so refreshing to get to take part in the sport you love while most of the rest of the world is asleep.

1. Beacon Lakes Golf Club (Dickinson, Texas)
I’m giving Beacon Lakes the top spot on our list for two reasons. One, it’s the only nighttime golf course that I’ve had the privilege of playing. Two, it’s also the only full-length golf course in the US that’s lighted.
If you get the opportunity to play this course at night, tee off with clubs that you can keep straight because most of the rough is wickedly high.
Other than that, this lit golf course is incredibly enjoyable.
