It's time to get those golf clubs polished and ready for action, Austin. Holey Moley Golf Club, a competitive mini-golf concept that originally garnered fame in Australia, is opening its second-ever U.S. location in late March in the Texas Capital.
Holey Moley will reside downtown at 807 E. 4th St., allowing for up to 500 guests to compete in a "multi-sensory labyrinth" of golf across three courses and 27 holes. The courses are all inspired by iconic pop culture moments throughout history, a press release says.
But there's much more to Holey Moley than just rounds of putt-putt. The space will include a bar, an outdoor live music venue, an al fresco dining area, locally-designed graffiti art, and a private karaoke room that can fit up to 15 people. The "Caddyshack" will provide food and Instagram-worthy cocktails. Guests can also host private parties and events at the venue.
Funlab USA CEO Blaise Witnish explained in the release that Austin is a great fit for Holey Moley thanks to the city's "vibrant energy" and its status as a highly sought-after destination.
"Austin plays host to major annual city-wide events, is home to a thriving collegiate and business community, and its residents and visitors know how to have a good time," Witnish said. "We're thrilled to bring our unparalleled entertainment experience, and over-the-top venue to the people of Austin."
The Austin location is the first in a string of U.S. openings to take place in 2024, after Funlab opened its first-ever U.S. golf club in Denver, Colorado in September 2023, riding high on the massive success that it achieved in Australia. Holey Moley Golf Club will additionally open a Houston location in spring 2024, followed by a San Francisco, California, location later in the year.
