Australia’s creator of competitive socializing experiences, Funlab, is opening their mini-golf concept, Holey Moley Golf Club, the second in the U.S., in Austin, Texas in late March 2024. This will be the first brand-built and designed location in the fully renovated, yet historically preserved, former Native Hostel building located at 807 East 4th Street.
Holey Moley is a mini-golf concept and venue that’s taken Australia by storm and made its U.S. debut in Denver in September 2023. The Austin venue is set to be the first location opening in Texas with Houston slated for late Spring, followed by San Francisco, CA later in 2024.
No expense was spared in the development of the immersive 500-person capacity Holey Moley Austin, a mini golf-course and bar that turns putt-putt into a multi-sensory labyrinth of golf mayhem, featuring three courses totaling 27 creative and fun-filled holes inspired by pop culture.
The venue comes with a huge outdoor space with a stage for live music, entertainment and al fresco dining, art commissioned by local graffiti artists and a private karaoke room that fits up to 15 people. Beyond the bar and the courses, Holey Moley is also home to various function spaces ideal for hosting private events, both large and intimate, and a “Caddyshack” menu featuring delicious eats and signature cocktails.
“Austin is a natural fit for our irreverent Holey Moley concept,” said Blaise Witnish, Funlab USA CEO in a statement. “The city is a desired destination and full of vibrant energy. 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. We’re thrilled to bring our unparalleled entertainment experience, and over-the-top venue to the people of Austin.”
Holey Moley Austin is now booking events and functions of various sizes with several packages customizable for any occasion. From corporate, work or social gatherings to birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorettes and beyond, a team of planners is available to coordinate events for groups of 10 to 500.
