  • 1/5 Robin S. 1 year ago on Google
    We were having a great night celebrating a birthday, right until the employees decided to racially profile members of our group. According to an employee one of the ‘white boys’ in our group gave a pill to one out of the two black members of our group. Instead of threatening to kick out the white boy for the supposed ‘dealing of drugs,’ the employee decided to aggressively falsely accuse one of the black members of our group. What actually had happened was the white boy gave a token (THAT IS REQUIRED TO GET THE BALLS FOR THE MINI GOLF) to the other boy; not a pill. The employee kept repeating that he was “100% sure” and in fact “didn’t need to check the footage” to confirm his statement. Upon ACTUALLY CHECKING THE FOOTAGE after requests from us to do so, we were NOT kicked out and allowed to play the rest of our game. However, as members of our group were very upset and distraught by this outward display of racism, they decided to confront the employee at the end of the night seeking an apology, to which we were greeted with more hostility and with photos being taken of our black group members and sent to bars around Newtown. When we tried to enter other venues, our two black friends were denied entry over the incident. I can’t even fathom the idea of being so entitled that when confronted with your racist remarks you decide to project the little power you have even more to ruin peoples nights. Absolutely disgusting behaviour shown by this employee. Holey Moley needs to do better, train your staff and not racially profile innocent people just trying to have a fun night. If you think something may have happened, check the footage before you accuse and humiliate paying customers for no reason. Thanks.

    We dropped in on a Tuesday after our softball was cancelled, and had a great time. The food, drinks, and activities were great, but the service was the best part! The staff were extremely attentive and took care of us all night. Keesh was an absolute star, always checking to see if we needed to order another round and making sure we were having a great time. All around a great night made by the people at Holy Moley (especially Keesh!)

    Couple of friends and I went to Holey Moley for a drink and to play a round of mini golf. While we experienced some issues with a couple drinks not being available, the service was outstanding and made up for it all, especially from Keesh! She made sure we had a fun night and we ended up staying a lot longer than we planned (until they closed)!

    Great customer service. However, the golf course is compressed into quite a small area. Compared to the branch in North Strathfield, you feel a lot more squished in. Nonetheless, a good time with the advantage of being surrounded by so many restaurant options on Newtown.

    Requires bookings now, over the phone. Issue is, can't make a booking if you call them 3 times across space of 3 hours between 5PM and 8PM on Wednesday, with no answer any time. Poor form from what at least used to be a great place. Just want a game of mini golf.

    Holey Moley is the perfect place to go with friends, we had so much fun playing and the decor is brilliant. We went on a week day and it was quiet, but I can imagine it is impossible to have a decent game during weekends as the place is not that big and it can become quite packed. We opted for the 18 holes option and we are happy we did as the 9 hole downstairs is way too easy and you can be done in 10 minutes top. You can't drink or eat while playing, but, because it was a quiet night, they allowed us to have a break in between and were able to have a drink in between games. The security guy at the entrance on Tuesday night was quite rude to us with no clear motive, he also never smiled and seemed very annoyed to be there, not a great advertising for Holey Moley...

    We had the best night here tonight, it was a good night for Mardi Gras weekend! We had the lovely Brynna behind the bar was looking after us and she was so lovely! From looking after us, making a Negroni for me and having some great chatter, it made us feel very welcome. We will definitely be back for many a night! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

    It was fun, but by God it's cramped in there! Too many people and not enough space...lots of waiting for people to finish and then feeling rushed when it's your turn to go. But the mini golf itself was fun and really cute themes! Staff were super friendly and helpful too (except the bartender on the second level who ignored us for 10 minutes...thankfully the magician, Neo, was there to keep us entertained)!

    Been here a few times now and still one of my favourite mini golf joints. Drinks here are a little expensive but are really good. Definitely try out the 'sugar caddy' if you craving a sour drink.

    Been here twice and the bartenders have always been awesome! Can get very busy Friday afternoon to evening. Charged us 18 holes price but only 1 token each people because they are busy? They were not that busy and we should just have 2 tokens each... The course itself is fun and worth visiting again. Probably not a third time tho.

    Super fun mini golf with great popular culture themed courses and photo opportunities. Great location in the heart of Newtown. The staff were super fun and friendly, we loved the announcements they were making! The drinks and cocktails were also great. I'd highly recommend the Lychee Tropicana. Definitely go for the full 18 holes!

  • 5/5 Elleirah M. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a fantastic lazy Sunday afternoon here!! The holes were fun and interactive - great for the ‘gram and the aesthetic of the venue was nothing short of beautiful The boneless chicken wings and fries were mouth watering and the array of specialty cocktails were to die for - particularly enjoyed introducing my American friend to a Wizz Fizz via the Sugar Caddy Cocktail! Finally, the team were absolutely fantastic, always willing to give recommendations and have a chat. Particular shout out to Sam and Christine for looking after our booking with snazz 🥳 Can’t wait to come back again!!

    Charlie Chuckleberry has rocked our world here at Newtown “Highly Moley”- he has impressed us with his unflagging energy, general joyousness and highly entertaining persona; would recommend and probably marry x

  • 5/5 Jesse M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very fun! Quirky friendly staff. Doing the best they can with covid. Due to restrictions you can no longer walk around with your drink.. but overall a fun experience. We may return.

  • 3/5 Matthew Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Would give it 3.5 stars if I could. The holes are very cramped and you feel like you don't get good value for money. That said, Fun Lab did do a great job in squeezing so many holes into such a cramped space. Service was very good.

  • 5/5 Nat B. 3 years ago on Google
    Simon is amazing HES awesome and it’s the Greatest place to play GOLFFF!!!! WE GOT TO EAT PIZZA HERE, lots of fun memories here

  • 5/5 Tahlia T. 2 years ago on Google
    We had a great time here. My brother came to visit from Brisbane so we took him here to celebrate his birthday and we all had a great time! It was still really busy arriving at 10pm but the vibe was good and the staff are really friendly. Golf was fun, drink were good and so was the food. Great place to have a drink and some fun

  • 5/5 Indianna L. 3 years ago on Google
    the venue is amazing Simon rocks... thanks so much. we love this place ❤️❤️❤️

  • 3/5 Rose K. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff were lovely and it was pretty fun but honestly there was just too much pressure on a Saturday night. It was absolutely packed and you're either always waiting for the next people or there are people waiting for you to finish. We had a couple just stare us down while we tried to have a good time and go through the holes. Really not fun.

  • 5/5 Amelia C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing drinks, friendly staff and just an amazing place to be! Erika served me and she was super friendly and helped my friends and I figure out what hat drinks were good and just gave off good vibes! 10/10 definitely coming back

  • 5/5 Daria S. 1 year ago on Google
    First time went into this mini golf place, it is great fun for kids and adults. The price is 10 AUD for kids , for 9 holes. This is a good pub, with great atmosphere and amazing selection of cocktails. Kids can play mini golf until 5pm.. definitely worth visiting, If you like mini golf.

  • 5/5 felix d. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place to hang out with friends and family. The food is good for munching, drink is decent and affordable, the staff is nice and friendly.

  • 5/5 Caoimhe D. 3 years ago on Google
    Simon was a great bartender and host tonight! Absolute gent ?? will definitely return here and hope to see him at our next visit to Holey Moley!

  • 4/5 S W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, upstairs was definitely unique and a very interesting course. Lots of people though and a small area, because it's so popular, it can feel a bit cramped and you feel rushed to take your turn. No kids at night. However, a very enjoyable time overall and staff were incredibly friendly despite how busy it is.

  • 5/5 Izzy H. 3 years ago on Google
    Simon is the best!!! He was so kind and his customer service was so good! Highly recommend this place!!! And Cassius is also the best very good staff

  • 5/5 Joe P. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked this place for a 30th birthday party and the whole thing from start to finish was excellent. They kindly let me set some things up on the table before the birthday girl arrived to make it extra special. Our designated host Jett was very professional, patient, helpful and willing to go above and beyond to make us all feel welcome. We had so much fun and would be more than happy to book again in the future. I recommend booking the private space package with drinks and pizzas. Great for anyone who wants a unique birthday party.

  • 5/5 Andrew D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great mini golf experience. Alot of funny and creative themed golf courses. Definitely recommend an 18-hole experience accompanied with their signature cocktails, a great treat for friends and family.

  • 1/5 John B. 3 years ago on Google
    Total rip-off. I took two eight-year-old girls for a school holiday treat. Nine holes for $40 that they finished in about 15 minutes and hardly got excited about. That said, you couldn't fault the friendly staff.

  • 5/5 Kathryn A. 1 year ago on Google
    This review is mainly for the functions team. First I have to shout out Bindi and Sam who went above and beyond to make a fabulous birthday party for our 11 year old. Everything about the day was fun. Nothing was too much trouble; when someone told us they were vego at the last minute, Bindi whipped inside and came back with a corn dish. They even charged my phone behind the bar! The children had a wonderful time, while we got to relax with amazing cocktails knowing the children were having the best time. I was blown away by my bathtub cocktail - I didn’t realise it came in a bathtub complete with bubbles, rubber duckies and rose petals! What a delight! We’ve been before for mini golf and had a great time. But rest assured when you book a party you will be treated like VIPs.

  • 5/5 Alexia G. 3 years ago on Google
    Simon was an incredible host! My experience at Holey Moley Newtown was unparalleled: the course was fantastic, the service was impeccable and the food was great. I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon with my friends, I would highly recommend!

  • 4/5 Stacey H. 9 months ago on Google
    A good time with a group, great drinks. The holes are quite small (it's urban mini golf!) but are creative. A bit of fun once, probably not a regular weekly night out.

  • 5/5 Bonnie P. 10 months ago on Google
    I came here as an event for my business ‘Sydney Working Holiday Girls’ for 9 holes of golf. We had 18 of us and we were looked after so well by the staff. A special shout out to Dom, who gave prizes for our winners (and loser with a gross shot lol!) I would recommend having a function here especially on a quieter night as it felt we had the place to our selves.

  • 5/5 Adam M. 9 months ago on Google
    I visited Holey Moley in Newtown and had an absolute blast! Kai, one of the staff members, made the experience even better with their exceptional service. From the moment we arrived, Kai greeted us warmly and provided helpful tips for the mini-golf course. Their attentiveness, knowledge, and friendly demeanor made us feel welcome and ensured we had a fantastic time. Kai's passion for their job was contagious, and their commitment to our enjoyment was evident throughout. I want to express my gratitude to Kai and the Holey Moley Newtown team for an unforgettable visit. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 James G. 9 months ago on Google
    Went there for my birthday and they were extremely nice, and let my friends and I play with the balls we found before we were meant to start and was and all round great experience. And we were also let in early, before they had opened. Our host, Jeff Hoste was also great and extremely nice and advised us on how to do some of the holes easily. Would recommend and we got a voucher for some extra holes and got a free visor as well. Would go there again.

  • 5/5 Ric D. 9 months ago on Google
    Kyie was awesome. Best guy was happy and helpful and served us really well making the experience much better. Big team we had there and we had no issues with drink or food service. And everyone had a great time!

  • 5/5 Kwon K. 9 months ago on Google
    If you're seeking a memorable and laughter-filled evening, look no further than this extraordinary mini golf and bar haven. And be sure to keep an eye out for the comedic genius, Charlie, who is undoubtedly the heart and soul of this remarkable place. Their presence alone will turn an already fantastic experience into an unforgettable adventure. We left with hearts full of joy, eager to return and create new memories in this hidden paradise.

  • 5/5 De D. 2 months ago on Google New
    Loved the bar and fun mini golf ⛳️ locale. Each hole was a unique fun experience. Did 9 holes for $20 AUD. Student was $12. Happy hour cosmopolitan martini was $13.

  • 5/5 William P. 4 months ago on Google
    First experience at Holey Moley. Great fun, very casual and great atmosphere. Can get a little crowded with bigger groups playing and a bit of a wait time between holes but still 5/5!

  • 5/5 W L. 4 months ago on Google
    Had lots of fun with the upstairs 9 holes, ending with Elvis. Felt bad though expected, as a group of 10 of us went through the course with a few groups were waiting behind us.

  • 5/5 Amber K. 3 years ago on Google
    The 4 of us enjoyed playing 2 rounds of 9 holes together! Lovely set up, colorful, interesting, unique & the holes ranged from easy to harder, which was good ? Not sure on what's an average price for put put golf but it was $25 each & included a drink.

    Simon was such a lovely host, and made us feel really special. After commenting on how unique use of a ‘rubber duckie’ on his jacket, he provided I and my date replicate ‘duckies’ to take home. He really made our night, cannot recommend him and this place highly enough ?

  • 4/5 Tereza B. 2 years ago on Google
    Why not? Something different. Good fun, after you have been drinking or for an activity after dinner or late evening. Alcohol varieties are simple and limited. You come here to be with your friends or loved ones, not for the food and beverages. You will have a giggle. Cute set up of the putt putt holes and themes. More suited for adults though. Did not see any children there of an evening. Due to the alcohol license, I would imagine.

    What a great night out! We got a bit peckish and ordered pizzas as it was easy to share, they have a few other opens too like burgers etc. The pizzas were delicious, heaps of variety to choose from. We shared 2 pizzas and side of waffle fries and loaded fries for 5 people. I love how you have to wear a sparkly hat for them to find you and bring your food.
