House of Holes indoor Crazy Golf opening in Derby this month

The new adults-only House of Holes indoor Crazy Golf course is opening in Derby this month.

The date has been set for the grand opening of Derby’s brand new adults-only indoor Crazy Golf course, with the House of Holes venue officially opening to the public on Saturday 16th March.

House of Holes has been created in the former Grand Theatre on Babington Lane in Derby. As well as the intriguing Crazy Golf course the venue will serve street food and cocktails accompanied by music from a resident DJ.

The House of Holes course will consist of 18 individually themed holes decorated with memorabilia, shop mannequins and other odd and interesting obstacles including a full-size plane – a nod to Rolls-Royce and Derby’s aerospace industry – roller boots and a large neon-lit guitar, which was discovered in the building’s basement and is believed to be over 30 years old.

The venue has, over the years, been home to a number of nightclubs called Ritzy’s, McClusky’s and Confetti’s.

We're looking forward to seeing what the rest of the House of Holes Crazy Golf course looks like

In addition to the work on the course itself, House of Holes has employed local graffiti artists to decorate the walls of the building, while old copies of Viz cover the interior of the men’s toilets!

I'm a big fan Viz comic, although it's not as funny as it used to be

In the last couple of years indoor Crazy Golf has really taken off and is fast becoming a favourite choice for a fun night out, as well as a popular day time activity.

Bookings are now being taken via the House of Holes’ Facebook page, with an 18-hole round of Crazy Golf costing £10.

For more information check out the House of Holes website, Facebook Page, Instagram and Twitter.

We're looking forward to a return visit to Derby and playing the course on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Holey Molies Mini Golf in Skelton-in-Cleveland, near Saltburn-by-the-Sea

A visit to the Holey Molies Crazy Golf course in Skelton-in-Cleveland.

Last September we reached another BIG minigolf milestone as we played at our 500th miniature golf course since our travels began in September 2006.

The 18-hole indoor Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Saltburn-by-the-Sea was the 845th visited overall on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour and the 807th we've been to in the British Isles.

It was brilliant to finally play the Holey Molies minigolf course as we'd heard so much about it since it opened.

One of the main things we'd heard was that the Mini Golf course at Holey Molies Leisure Complex boasts the 'World's Longest Mini Golf Hole' - measuring in at 264 feet!

Hole 1 - the longest minigolf hole in the world. You have to start off upstairs, teeing-off up a ramp and then the ball is carried along the long viaduct before being deposited on the green

The winner of our match got a very nice Holey Molies Mini Golf medal

In addition to the Mini Golf course, the Holey Molies Leisure Complex is home to a diner and bar, and FootPool tables.

Holey Molies even has its own beer!

A visit to Saltburn Minigolf course

A visit to play the Saltburn Minigolf course.

Last September we had a marvellous day out in Salturn-by-the-Sea, North Yorkshire and visited the minigolf course on Saltburn Promenade.

The 10-hole Saltburn Minigolf course was designed and built by the team at UrbanCrazy and is a superb layout.

The traditional seaside theming is very well done and I loved putting through the Beach Hut.

It's a tricky course and it was pretty tough to get a hole-in-one there.

Surf's up!

We actually watched a surfing tournament while we were in Saltburn

The course is in a superb location, with a brilliant view

The Saltburn Minigolf course was the 499th course played and 844th visited on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

 

We're looking forward to a return visit and another round or two on the Saltburn Minigolf course.

The course was the 499th we played

Visit the Saltburn Minigolf Facebook page for more information, opening times and prices.

Sadly we didn't win a free game on the lucky 10th hole. However, our friend and rival John Moore did!
