Glow in the dark crazy golf course with neon cocktail bar opens just outside Bristol

If you think golf is a boring game played by middle aged men in plus fours, think again.

There's a new attraction that's opened just 20 minutes from Bristol and it's likely to find a whole new audience for golf.

Inside the old Sea Aquarium in the shadow of Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier is a nine-hole glow in the dark crazy golf course. It's part of Revo, a stylish new kitchen and bar, and even includes its own bar with glow in the dark cocktails.

Alex Michael, managing director of Revo, said: "If we used up the entire floor space for the restaurant we would have more than one thousand seats, so we wanted to include something that would appeal to many people."

With holes which come with neon, scrapyard and Terminator themes, among many others, this golf course does just that.

The course was designed by Deborah Mitchell, while a graffiti artist known as 'Ghost' came to spray-paint the walls and ensure that each hole is unique and has its own theme.

Many of the holes include mechanisms that bring the course to life. You also have a chance to win another free round if you score enough bonus points on the specially designed final hole.

With its own bar, Alex also said the potential for large group bookings is something they are considering in the future.

The course is priced at £5 for adults and £3.50 for kids.

AGM Holdings, which also owns the Grand Pier, opened Revo on June 15.

After the aquarium closed two years ago, it was down to Alex and his colleagues to tear out the interior, a project which took five weeks.

Alex expressed his thanks to the Weston community and hoped that support would continue to grow once coronavirus restrictions are hoped to be lifted on July 19.

Outside the crazy golf course is a beach café and restaurant with stunning views of the Severn Estuary.

The all day dining venue has around 300 seats and offers a range of tasty treats from seafood to freshly made cakes.
