I was really excited to visit this bar-turned-18 hole mini golf course. I know this was opening week, but the kinks that still need to be worked out made for an unpleasant experience.
Upon arriving, the door person gave vague directions on where to get balls and incorrectly told my party to start on the lower level. After talking with another attendant, after 5 minutes of checking the reservation, he cleared up that directions should have been given to start upstairs, instead.
The place is best described as a cluster. Barely enough room to walk, trash at every golf hole, and tons of onlookers throughout the course who weren't playing but added to the crowdedness. Don't go here if you're claustrophobic.
The holes are cute and innovative, but it's impossible to enjoy the game play because there is no comfortable pace. The people behind you start putting while you're still on the hole. When you're finished and waiting, there's barely any room to stand.
It was so disappointing that on the first week, two holes were broken and down for maintenance, including a mouse trap hole that seemed fun and exciting. The breaking down of that hole caused a huge log jam that, while consistent with the massive lines throughout the rest of the course, was double the wait time.
I feel like even a few extra staff members throughout the venue to help groups stay on track would be helpful. Also, bookings were so close together, that playing wasn't much fun. Half the people at the venue were just drinking and not playing. I can't imagine going here for a fun nightlife time, because it was uncomfortably crowded.
From staff not knowing the organisation of the venue, to the mismanagement of bookings, to the failed maintenance of what people were paying to play on, Holey Moley turned what was a night I was looking forward to into one that left me bummed. read more
