Holey Moley Golf Club San Francisco — Local services in San Francisco

A MUST-VISIT GEM IN SF!

I was astonished by my experience at Holy Moly Golf — this spot seriously blew me away. Located in the heart of the Mission District (one of SF’s most vibrant, culture-packed areas), this place nails the vibe from the moment you walk in. There’s a good amount of parking, tons of foot traffic, and so many cool spots nearby — but once you’re inside Holy Moly, it’s like stepping into another world.

From the jump, the staff energy was immaculate. Huge shoutout to Kehlani, David, and Rene (hope I’m spelling that right!) — they were beyond lovely. Kehlani checked us in with everything already prepped and ready. Within seconds we had our golf balls (via an old-school coin machine — 😱 YES), picked our clubs, and were ready to tee off. She went above and beyond and made the start of the experience smooth and fun.

The vibe inside? Think retro arcade meets modern golf course — 80s/90s-style game room energy with a twist. I had to stop by the bar, and wow… the drink menu was so creative, fun, and different from your typical bar. David and Rene were absolute rockstars behind the bar — probably some of the best bar service I’ve ever had. It was my birthday, and their energy and attentiveness made it extra special. Truly unforgettable!

Let’s talk food — the finger food selection was versatile and inclusive, with options for different dietary needs, and everything we tried was tasty. Even the kitchen staff upstairs had great energy, which tells you the whole team is solid. Plus, the bathrooms on both levels were super clean — always a bonus.

Pro tip: Go for the full 18 holes. You get to experience both upper levels, and trust me, you’re going to want to try it all. It’s one of those places where you’ll already be planning your next visit before you even finish the first round.

Thank you, Kehlani, David & Rene, for making my birthday one to remember. I will 1000%...

Pretty meh experience all the way around. I thought it was still Urban Putt with SF themed holes, but apparently it was bought out a year ago by Holey Moley which was disappointing to learn. Guy at the front asked if we had reservations. We did not as I’ve never made reservations for mini golf before. He was able to squeeze us in. 18 holes, 2 people, I swear he said it was $50-some (and of course it asked for a tip which I declined) but upon checking my card, I paid $64.80 which is pretty insane.

Grabbed our balls and clubs. Asked the guy if we could grab a drink and play, he said with some annoyance that we needed to start playing and someone would come around to take our order. No surprises, nobody ever came to take our order or that of anyone around us. Like others have said, some holes (upstairs) were pretty cool and well designed, but a lot of holes (downstairs) felt like an afterthought due to lack of space. The downstairs was overwhelming, lots of kids parties and stray kids running around, getting in the middle of people actually playing. Somehow 9 holes were crammed down there.

I will say the guy at the bar made a great michelada, very delicious, and he was very kind. Unfortunately, the other lady at the bar - not so much. We had a drink at the bar while looking up where to go next. We sat there for maybe 15-20mins enjoying our drinks, and as soon as we finished, she asked if we wanted another. We said no thanks and we’d be heading out shortly. We stayed for maybe 5ish mins longer, were asked no less than 4 times (the last time pretty aggressively) if we wanted another drink at which point we felt unwelcome and immediately left. Very expensive for what you get and poor...

Fun date spot and a good time overall but a few things stood out as reasons why I prefer other mini golf spots: when we arrived they said we had booked two games. We were confused and thought there was an error - I wouldn’t have chosen to play the course twice through. They don’t offer refunds so we finally accepted one game then a voucher. Then when they mentioned nine holes instead of eighteen, we finally put together that two games means playing each of the two 9-hole courses. Very confusing, must be a common question, but zero clarification was offered until we had already been talking for a while. the floor material on which you putt varies a lot but most of the time it’s a very thin carpet with almost zero texture. It’s funny because some of the hallways were decorated with more traditional fake putting green grass but not the holes. I’ve seen carpet at mini golf places before but never this thin so the ball rolls a lot more quickly with less resistance. It’s nit picky but I truly love mini golf and go out of my way to play it with friends and family so this was disappointing. a lot of the holes have the same U-shape design. Still had fun but not as many variations as I would’ve liked. I definitely prefer the hole designs at places like the former Urban Putt and Stagecoach Greens. positive notes: lots of cute photo ops, bigger seating area for...
