Inside new 'adults only' indoor crazy golf course with X-rated name and sex toys

A new adult-only crazy golf course complete with weird, unique and sometimes rude props has opened in Nottingham.

Gloryholes is not your average crazy golf course, as its naughty name and risqué decor suggests.

Golfers at the new venue, in George Street, Hockley have to overcome obstacles including pool tables, cupcakes, a toilet with a glittery golden toilet seat and sex toys that could have come straight out of Ann Summers to get a hole in one

The 18-hole mini-golf course is full of weird and wonderful props used to create the holes such as a Mini, a whale, aliens and Donald Trump's head.

After a six-month delay due to lockdown, the course is now finally open and it's complete with a clubhouse diner and bar, reports Nottinghamshire Live.

Looking at the pictures, it's certainly worth the wait.

It's the latest venture for Nottingham entrepreneurs Dan Brown and Drew Hewitt, who run a number of quirkily decked out bars in the area as part of their Curious Venues group.

Many of the wacky props were given to Dan over the years from reclamation yards, antique fairs and auctions.

"The whale was damaged goods so we got it from a guy down south and repaired it," said Dan.

"It is a place for adults and not for those easily offended but there's nothing too bad."

The property was most recently Alt, a gaming bar, and before that an oriental buffet.

The golf course includes a number of weird-looking holes, including the neon-lit Black Hole with a spaceman and aliens, the Meat Hole, where there's a bloody scene to negotiate, and other holes too rude to mention.

Then there's the SkegVegas Hole, complete with a fruit machine, mobility scooter, Elvis, seagulls and the seaside town's famous Jolly Fisherman.

"It's even better than I thought it would be. Having another six months allowed us to have more ideas to make it as fun as possible," Drew said.

"It's perfect for hens and stags, date nights and friends. We are trying to make it as Covid-friendly as possible. We are limiting it to groups of four and there is adequate time before the next groups tee off so there's no loitering at holes."

Cocktails and Ugly Bread Bakery pizzas (both with outrageous names) are sold at the clubhouse, and the venue is also open to non-golfers looking for a quirky place to eat and drink.

It's decked out with booths, arcade games and air hockey. Oh, and Barack Obama sitting on a Chesterfield sofa.

Gloryholes is open seven days a week and costs £10 per person to play during the week and £12 at weekends, with special deals on Mondays and Wednesdays.
