Glow Ball at The Loma Club: Glow-in-the-Dark Golf in Point Loma

Overview

Golf, but at night, with a glowing ball and a beer in hand — that's the whole delightful idea. Glow Ball at The Loma Club turns the Point Loma par-3 course into a lit-up nighttime playground for nine holes of glow-in-the-dark golf, with a welcome beer and unlimited beer tastings poured right on the course as you go. This edition runs Friday, August 14, 2026, from 7 to 10 p.m.

It's a long-running Loma Club tradition — they run it on select Friday nights throughout the year — and it's exactly as fun and low-stakes as it sounds. You don't need to be good at golf. You need to be 21, up for a good time, and okay with the fact that a glowing ball is genuinely hard to track. One important clarification the club makes every time: this is on the real par-3 course, not mini golf.

How the Night Works

Check-in opens at 7:00 p.m. — grab your welcome beer, get your glow ball and gear, and settle in. The shotgun start is at 8:00 p.m., meaning every group tees off from a different hole at once, so the whole course fills up together and nobody's waiting around. From there it's nine holes at your own pace, with beer stations to sample as you play, wrapping by 10.

The glowing ball is the great equalizer here. Depth perception goes out the window after dark, so the low-handicap folks and the never-played crowd end up a lot closer than they'd be in daylight. It plays more like a party with clubs than a serious round.

The Venue

The Loma Club is a genuinely charming par-3 golf course tucked into the Liberty Station area of Point Loma — a laid-back, walkable course with a clubhouse bar and a distinctly unstuffy vibe, which is exactly why it works as a nighttime event space. It's the rare San Diego golf spot that's as much about hanging out as it is about your score, and Glow Ball is that personality turned up to eleven. Easy to pair with a pre- or post-round drink at the clubhouse.
