Holey-Moley! Mini-golf is a lot of fun

Our god-daughter in Adelaide, South Australia, took us to play mini-golf a few days ago. It was a bit different from any mini-golf I’ve ever played before and the franchise is called ‘Holey-Moley’. It is set indoors and has a number of quirky gimmicks about it. There are a lot of puns around the walls and golf-related bits and pieces. The place is aimed equally if not more so at adults rather than children and has a bar at one end. Some holes have bells and whistles and it was a lot of fun. In the photo the aim is to hit the ball hard enough that it becomes air-borne off the ramp and lands on the chair where the hole is. The first hole involved sending the ball around the circular contraption you can see in the background (right-hand side) which is a bit tricky for starters. I achieved a hole-in-one here which was a great piece of luck. All in all, it was a fun afternoon.

That one looks like it would be a lot of fun. I have been to a few fun mini golfs..one they used to have in a mall..was an interplanetary one..where the whole course looked the solar system with planets.

That sounds like fun too. Anything that is a bit different usually appeals to people doesn't it?

It's a lot of fun. Once we made up some holes in our yard using short lengths of pipe and various bits and pieces.

I love indoor mini golf, we had one not far from here, but it is closed right now for change of owner.

What a shame. Are you expecting it to open up again one day?

@JudyEv It is now offered at a public auction because the previous owner went bankrupt. I hope it will open again soon.

I've never been to an indoor mini golf place, but just from your photo it looks like it would be a very fun place to go. Mini golf is such a fun way to spend some time with family or friends, and is sure to garner lots of laughs and memories!

@JudyEv That's the fun thing about mini-golf, that the possibilities are limitless when creating the design and layout of each hole, and each course.

It was quite different from an outdoor mini-golf but just as much fun. They had come up with some really wacky ideas.

Looks like a fun setup for mini golf. I'm glad you had fun and a hole in one.

@just4him Mostly you just need a bit of luck with mini golf but with regular golf you need a few more skills.

I'm not usually much good at these sorts of games but this time everything was just falling into place.

To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so much fun. It was great.

How cool! We are having a miniature golf tournament here this weekend, and some of the guys I play with went to the Czech Republic to play in a world miniature golf tournament last month!

I know you play regularly. This seemed to have some really way-out holes but then I've only ever played once or twice. It would be fun to play in other countries.

whoa... sounds interesting there. At least there was nothing around for the ball to bounce and break there. (that is, if I was a player!)

The kids hit a ball a bit hard once or twice but luckily it didn't hit anyone.
