Stephen Curry is the resident golf pro.

In addition to serving as executive producer on the competition series, three-time NBA champion Stephen also appears as the "resident golf pro."

"You might think I'm just another celebrity cameo at the top of an ABC show, and that's it," he said in a 2019 clip.

"But actually, I'm way more involved than that. I'm also a celebrity cameo in the middle of the show and maybe at the end," he continues.

His vision for Holey Moley was to bring "a world that most people have tried before, but bringing it to a whole other level."

Jeannie Mai is the sideline correspondent.

For sideline correspondent Jeannie, Holey Moley is "the sickest, most unimaginable game of miniature golf that you cannot picture," she said in the 2019 clip, "because there's no way your mind could possibly put something like this together — it's crazy!"

Jeannie is the Emmy-award-winning co-host of the talk show The Real and has served as a recurring fashion correspondent for E!'s Live From the Red Carpet. She was also an executive producer of a 2017 documentary that investigates the international crisis of human sex trafficking, called Stopping Traffic: The Movement to End Sex Trafficking.

"We started talking to the Muppets and the studio," Holey Moley producer Charles Wachter told the mag. "They saw the connection between the energy and the goodhearted family fun of Holey Moley and Muppets. It was an exploratory thing at first. We just actually just kept shooting because it was working, to be honest. We shot a bunch and then we shot more and more. And really created a small scripted story underneath what is an unscripted show."

Where is the Holey Moley golf course located?

Holey Moley's golf course is wild, what with all of the various challenges — like the Caddysmack and the Slip N' Putt — but unfortunately, you won't be able to visit it and play a game of putt-putt there for yourself.

That's because the entire course, as well as the obstacles within it, were built on the Sable Ranch in Santa Clarita, Calif., by the same team who created the larger-than-life obstacle courses and sets for shows like American Ninja Warrior, The Titan Games, and Big Brother.

Catch the Season 4 premiere of Holey Moley on May 3, 2022, at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
