I miss Urban Putt SF, but I do like the new Holey Moley that took its place here in the Mission (which includes a couple holes from the former Urban Putt). Played 18 fun and colorful holes of mini golf, the pop culture theme featuring beloved characters, props, and scenes for each hole, like street fighter, king kong, roulette, scrabble, Van Gogh, and even a cash grab hole (the flying fake cash creating a challenge to hit the ball through an opening).
In terms of difficulty, the holes weren't that hard, but definitely designed well enough to keep visitors entertained, and everything in brand new condition, with virtual holes and the few moving parts on the courses in working order. Oh yes, there are two 9-hole courses, one fully downstairs, the other with 7 holes upstairs and the last two holes in a separate room on the lower level. And all of the holes have clear and simple signs playfully explaining what to do.
There are dining tables and booths in the bar area downstairs (another bar upstairs), open seating, then staff comes out to help you if you're interested in having a bite while here. Altogether, it took about 30 minutes for service to order and receive our food on a Friday night (grand opening day), and the employees were friendly and helpful.
To drink, the strawberry margarita and barrel aged old fashioned were delicious. For food, we got the chicken sandwich and classic burger cooked to order, both came with a side of fries served in a cute little shopping cart. Everything came out hot and fresh. Our burger and sandwich were juicy and tasty, and I loved the seasoning on the fries.
A lively atmosphere with a DJ playing 90's hip hop and house music during the evening, drinks allowed on the courses, great artwork on the walls, lockers down the hall, and quirky merchandise on display and/or for sale, like dolls and figures (Bart Simpson, Raggedy Ann, Arnold Palmer), visors, trucker caps, and gopher trophies. Definitely an awesome spot for mini golf!
