And yes, this is a bit corny. I guess that's why when I first came here I was on a date :p But really this place is a whole lot of kitsch fun. Great for an eccentric date, get-togethers with friends and old-fashioned family bonding. They have 3 themed courses priced at $22 for 3 courses or at the family special rates. One of the few putt putt venues available in Sydney.

Great new facility complete with bright vibrant colours on the driving range to represent the grass, lakes and sand. Really stunning just to look at, let alone play here! How it works is you pay for the golf balls in the pro shop, head outside to the range to the golf ball dispenser, place a bucket near the nozzle, scan your receipt and watch the magic of the balls being dispensed. There are two levels and there are auto tees in some bays. The driving range is sloped in such a way that the balls drift towards "drains" which suck in the balls and return them to the dispenser. The facility is very well maintained and looks new and sharp. The standout is the staff. They are true professionals, passionate, know their stuff, and friendly. The lessons are expensive but really worth it if you're looking to improve your game - they really helped me as they were personalised to improve specific issues I was having, rather than structured as a crash course on how to play. There is also mini golf with 2 themed courses, a cafe, and the pro shop sells a range of clubs, bags, and other gear. I'm drawn to the pretty vibrant colours of the driving range and they were what got me into golf. Have come back time and time again.

There's a spacious and breezy cafe area with decent sandwiches, coffee and cakes which you can take onto the putt putt course, but there are no bins on the one-way course meaning you have to walk through others' games to get to the one near the entrance. None of the fun windmills, castles with drawbridges or dancing monkeys on this putt putt course, it's just stretches of green, pretty wooden bridges and ponds. And since I have no golfing capabilities whatsoever, the many ponds on the 18-hole course just meant wet hands for me. Highest score meant the I won, right?

I was really excited to visit this bar-turned-18 hole mini golf course. I know this was opening…read moreweek, but the kinks that still need to be worked out made for an unpleasant experience. Upon arriving, the door person gave vague directions on where to get balls and incorrectly told my party to start on the lower level. After talking with another attendant, after 5 minutes of checking the reservation, he cleared up that directions should have been given to start upstairs, instead. The place is best described as a cluster. Barely enough room to walk, trash at every golf hole, and tons of onlookers throughout the course who weren't playing but added to the crowdedness. Don't go here if you're claustrophobic. The holes are cute and innovative, but it's impossible to enjoy the game play because there is no comfortable pace. The people behind you start putting while you're still on the hole. When you're finished and waiting, there's barely any room to stand. It was so disappointing that on the first week, two holes were broken and down for maintenance, including a mouse trap hole that seemed fun and exciting. The breaking down of that hole caused a huge log jam that, while consistent with the massive lines throughout the rest of the course, was double the wait time. I feel like even a few extra staff members throughout the venue to help groups stay on track would be helpful. Also, bookings were so close together, that playing wasn't much fun. Half the people at the venue were just drinking and not playing. I can't imagine going here for a fun nightlife time, because it was uncomfortably crowded. From staff not knowing the organisation of the venue, to the mismanagement of bookings, to the failed maintenance of what people were paying to play on, Holey Moley turned what was a night I was looking forward to into one that left me bummed.

What makes for a happy comfortable golf club. I think it's the customer service, which Gordon Golf…read moreClub excels at, club facilities where you can eat and drink after a tough 9 or 18 holes. But it's the golf that counts, how you can play the course. The worst thing for a new golfer (I am a new golfer), is having the stress of making golfers wait for extended periods of time while you hack away at the pristine fairways. The course itself is an excellent learning course, wide fairways, limited difficult hazards and well kept and maintained greens. The course gets extremely busy seven days per week and you will find yourself waiting at each and every hole for at least 5-7 minutes. However, the golf groove is not lost by these hole and T-Off waits because the surroundings are beautiful and peppered with Disney like animals.On a good day of you move fast and play say between a 1 to 2 over per hole the golfer can get through and be drinking in the clubhouse in just about 3.5 hours with space on either side of that time limit. Or you can shorten your golf adventure and play 9 Holes and having a nice lunch at 'The Bunker' (thebunker@gordongolfclub.com). Lesson, there will always be club Knob-heads to keen to offer advice, criticise or inform on club rules and regulation. My advice smile and nod and go on your way. If they become tedious only then tell them in an assertive manner to 'fuck off'.
