Who's Your Caddy? Holey Moley Mini Golf Tees Off In San Francisco

The New Analog Entertainment Experience Opens Today in the Heart of the City's Mission District

Moley Mini Golf Club is taking a swing at San Francisco’s Mission District as the two-story entertainment venue, bar, and restaurant officially opens its doors Friday, July 19th. The exciting new venture promises a fun and irreverent twist on the classic game, offering a vibrant and Instagram-worthy experience unlike any other.

Located at 1096 S Van Ness Ave, Holey Moley San Francisco marks the fourth U.S. opening from Australian-based parent company Funlab. Known for their innovative approach to leisure and entertainment, Funlab introduces Holey Moley as a haven for nostalgia enthusiasts and gold ol’ fashioned fun seekers alike.

The venue boasts two nine-hole courses of golf holes that pay homage to cultural icons from the 80s and 90s and beyond, complemented by neon signs and playful decor that transport
visitors to a wonderland of fun. Featuring an array of creatively themed holes, golfers of all ages will find themselves immersed in a world of analog entertainment. Whether guests are Making It Rain, battling the elements to line up the perfect shot that will get them out of an lifesize box while a wind vortex spins “dollar bills” through the air, navigating through Sugar and Slice, a candy shop that looks sweet, but paves a sticky road through lollipops and gum drops as they try get past the watchful eye of the resident giant teddy bear, or quietly putting their way through Art Tee Par Tee, a museum full of classic art pieces, including an interactive Mona Lisa portrait that puts players best resting Da Vinci face to the test, there is no limit to the fun on each course.

Holey Moley put its trademark twist on the space once occupied by Urban Putt, but fans of the
previous venue will recognize unique elements that the company retained, including a a head-to-head Labyrinth matchup that encourages players to compete through a pinball-style maze for the lowest score and virtual golf tee-off.

Throughout the courses are hand-painted murals by renowned artist Goodluck Buddha. Cheeky swag like ‘Sex, Drugs, Rock & Hole’ hats, and ‘Let’s Talk About Socks, Baby’ knee-high golf socks are available at check in to get into true ‘tee’ spirit.
