About
Holey Moley Golf Club on Colombo Street in Christchurch Central City is Canterbury's go-to spot for fun, unpretentious mini golf. It's earned its solid 4.5-star reputation by nailing what mini golf should be: creative course design, a relaxed atmosphere, and genuine entertainment for everyone. The venue stands out among Canterbury attractions because it strips away the pretence—no dress codes, no golf handicaps needed—and just focuses on delivering a good time with mates, family, or on a date. The 18-hole course is packed with character and quirky obstacles that actually make you think about your shot, unlike sterile versions you'll find elsewhere.
Expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour playing through, depending on your group's pace and whether you're getting competitive. The vibe is refreshingly casual: locals pop in after work, families bring kids on school holidays, and groups celebrate everything from birthdays to just needing a Friday night out. It suits pretty much everyone—solo players can tag along with other groups, couples get a genuinely fun date activity, and families appreciate that kids can actually play without supervision anxiety. The staff are genuine and unfussy. Pro tip: arrive early on weekends if you want to avoid queues, and bring a bit of cash for the bar if you fancy a drink while you wait. It's worth the visit if you want entertainment that doesn't take itself seriously.
Fit Holey Moley into your Christchurch visit as a perfect evening or lunchtime activity, especially on rainy days when exploring the city's museums and galleries might feel heavy. It's centrally located, so it pairs easily with food and drink stops along Colombo Street and the nearby cafe quarter. The venue operates year-round, though summer evenings are particularly popular when locals enjoy the outdoor-friendly atmosphere. It's the kind of place that makes a solid memory when you're passing through Canterbury—the sort of activity that says "we actually did something fun" rather than just ticked boxes.
