An illuminated golf cup is internally lighted by a light source disposed
within the cup. The light source is suspended in the bottom of the cup by
being secured to the underside of an insert in the cup. The light source
is directed upward from the bottom of the cup to cast light up and out of
the cup. The light illuminates the opening of the cup and the flag in the
cup, making the golf cup more visible from a distance and in low light.
