Holey Moley and Hijinx Hotel Bring Immersive Play to Irvine Spectrum Center

Holey Moley Golf Club and the first-ever U.S. Hijinx Hotel have officially debuted at Irvine Spectrum Center, introducing two bold, immersive entertainment concepts designed for playful competition and social connection.

Holey Moley Golf Club transforms traditional putt-putt into a high-energy, multi-sensory experience. The venue features 27 wildly themed holes set inside neon-lit, immersive spaces that blend pop culture, nostalgia, and playful chaos. Each hole offers a different visual and interactive moment, with throwbacks inspired by the eighties, nineties, and beyond. 

With locations across the United States, including Denver, Austin, Houston, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and now Irvine, along with multiple international locations in Australia and New Zealand, Holey Moley has become known for its imaginative approach to mini golf. A full-service bar and restaurant complete the experience, welcoming guests of all ages to enjoy a lively and colorful setting built around the art of play. More information is available at holeymoley.com.

Next door, Hijinx Hotel reimagines entertainment through the lens of hospitality. While not an actual hotel, the venue invites guests to “check in” to a highly designed playground filled with 15 interactive challenge rooms, each presented as a themed hotel space. Every room features a scored game that encourages teamwork, friendly competition, and laughter, making it ideal for date nights, group outings, and celebratory gatherings. 

Designed to accommodate all skill levels, the experiences combine practical effects with virtual technology in a whimsical, immersive environment. The venue also includes private karaoke lounges and Suite 404, a speakeasy-style bar and restaurant that adds an elevated social element. As its first U.S. location, Hijinx Hotel at Irvine Spectrum Center offers a distinctly original destination for playful, high-energy entertainment.
