Cologne, June 19, 2026. Spectacular obstacles, daring showdowns, and plenty of humor: With HOLEY MOLEY – MINIGOLF EXTREME, UFA Show & Factual brings the world’s most extreme mini-golf competition to Prime Video. In this new, humorous competition show, contestants face off against each other on an oversized mini-golf course—and must demonstrate not only their athletic skills but also their courage, dexterity, and sense of humor.
Vanessa Schmit and Sascha Rustmeier, Managing Directors of UFA Show & Factual: “HOLEY MOLEY is a unique blend of a sports event, fun, and spectacular family entertainment. The format breaks the boundaries of traditional game shows and creates a whole new world of experiences. We’re especially excited to be collaborating with Prime Video for the first time and to work together to bring to life a production that’s action-packed, humorous, and visually extraordinary.”
The Format: Mini-golf meets an action-packed obstacle course—and lots of fun
HOLEY MOLEY – MINIGOLF EXTREME is more than just a classic competition: In each episode, the players face off in head-to-head duels on imaginative and extreme mini-golf courses. Anyone who fails to overcome the obstacles risks penalty strokes and spectacular setbacks—from falling into the water to landing in foam pits.
The intricately designed courses transform the course into a gigantic, visually stunning playing field. Each challenge combines athletic ambition with slapstick elements and surprising twists.
Throughout the season, the participants battle their way through the tournament—from the qualifying rounds all the way to the grand finale. At the end, they’ll be rewarded not only with fame and glory, but also with the coveted plaid jacket, the “Golden Putter,” and prize money totaling 25,000 euros.
Entertainment Beyond the Competition
In addition to the competition, the show thrives on its unique tone: Commentators provide humorous commentary on the duels, while side stories and quirky segments turn the show into a special entertainment experience. The mix of athletic excitement, absurd challenges, and lovingly staged gags creates a distinctive atmosphere.
HOLEY MOLEY – MINIGOLF EXTREME is a UFA Show & Factual production for Prime Video. Filming took place in late May in Portimão, Portugal. Fremantle holds the worldwide production and distribution rights for the format outside the U.S., which was originally created by ABC and the Fremantle label Eureka Productions.
