Overview

Old-town retail space that people walk into to play.

Balls & Clubs took about 430 m² at Wollzeile 16 for its first site in Austria, and we turned the unit into an 18-hole indoor course.

Groups of one to six play a course that changes in difficulty from hole to hole. The first hole starts right by the entrance, so the game begins the moment guests step in.

The last hole

The hole that made the headline.

A giant Ferris wheel closes the round. It's the piece everyone photographs, and the one that got the press to pay attention.

A single big piece gives guests a photo and gives journalists a headline.

Made for groups

One to six players per group suits friends and staff outings alike.
