Holey Moley Golf Club Swings Into San Francisco This Summer on July 19
The July 19 opening will bring nostalgic fun and games, delicious bites, and whimsical cocktails to the Mission District
Holey Moley Golf Club is gearing up to tee off July 19th in San Francisco’s Mission District (1096 S. Van Ness Ave.), bringing a two-story live entertainment experience to the City. Breaking out of the traditional putt putt model, Holey Moley is an immersive world of fun filled with irreverence and nostalgia, where party vibes, music, street art and neon meet pop-culture themed mini- golf and Instagram-worthy cocktails. Throw in a whole lot of fun and you’ve got mini golf which truly kicks putt! Holey Moley will quickly become the ultimate destination for celebrations, date nights, meet-cutes, and meet ups between friends and colleagues, while sparking some friendly social competition and creating lasting memories.
The brainchild of 23-year old Australian-based Funlab, San Francisco marks the company’s first foray into California, after successful launches in Denver, Austin, and Houston between September 2023 and April 2024. "We are thrilled to join the San Francisco Bay Area community with the addition of Holey Moley," said CEO Michael Schreiber. "Our team calls ourselves Motherfunners, a reflection of the type of playful experience we hope our new community of San Francisco will truly enjoy. We live and breathe FUN and can’t wait to paint the town neon with our future guests!"
The 9,466 square foot space - once home to Urban Putt - will offer 18 themed mini golf holes over two courses, including Tee Rex, Vincent Van Golf, Par for the Corpse, Kong Live the King, and more, plus a full kitchen, two bars and private event spaces over the two levels of fun.

Holey Moley offers Instagram-worthy cocktails like Rub A Dub in the Tub with gin, Aperol, lime, and peach, topped with prosecco and served in a bathtub cup adorned with rubber duckies; Pop Till You Drop with vodka, lime, watermelon, and bubbles in a ceramic unicorn; Sand Bunker with Hendricks gin, cucumber, lime, mint, black pepper and ginger beer; large-format party cocktails like Cadillac Disco with tequila, Grand Marnier, and lime, with colorful straws popped into a hollowed out Disco Ball; and shooters like the Kinky Boot with vodka, peach liqueur, cranberry, and lime served in a mini cowboy boot made all the more fabulous with edible pink glitter.
The kitchen will serve Americana classics from burgers and sandwiches, like the Mushroom Burger available in beef or vegan patty with Swiss cheese, mushrooms, and mixed greens, topped with truffle and garlic aioli; nods to Californian favorites such as their Cali Loaded Fries with seasoned black beans, cheese, pico de gallo, crema, guacamole, jalapeno, and salsa; playful bites like classic Chicken Wings with the choice of Beer Buffalo, Korean BBQ, Ranch Dust, Cowboy Rub, Lemon Pepper or Hot Honey that roll to the table in a mini shopping cart; and a suite of healthier options with ‘The Greens’ including an above-par Wedge Salad with romaine, hard-boiled egg, pickled red onion, bacon, heirloom cherry tomato, blue cheese, crispy fried onions, and green goddess dressing.

With large-party packages suitable for every budget, Holey Moley is also set to become the premier choice for corporate events and private parties that favor social connection over a digital one.
Bachelorette Party packages and seasonal offerings will help re-solidify the heart of San Francisco as a can't miss tourist and hospitality destination.
The opening brings 60 jobs to the San Francisco Bay Area community, which include generous health and wellness benefits, paid leave, and an extensive investment in career growth and development.
Funlab venues welcome and support the LGBTQ+ community, and proud to be a safe and inclusive place for all employees and guests.
“San Francisco has long been an incredibly unique, vibrant, and change-making city” said Schreiber. “When looking at places to expand Funlab’s global footprint, we didn’t have to think twice about the Bay Area. It’s been a true delight learning more about the needs and interests of the San Francisco community and building out a space that is reflective of that, while creating an immersive world of fun.”
Online bookings are available now for the July 19th opening and beyond for San Franciscans that want to be among the first to experience the magic of Holey Moley.
