"11. Holes named after LPs? That's one suggestion K.K. Downing -- yes, the lead guitarist for Judas Priest -- has gotten from friends playing his golf course in Shropshire, England. Downing owns the nine-hole -- soon to be 27-hole -- Astbury Hall course which has a recording studio in the clubhouse. According to The Financial Times, the course is influenced by Cog Hill and some Hawaiian courses he used to play. When did heavy metal meet golf? Downing, who grew up listening to Jimi Hendrix and Cream, didn't get interested in golf until 1984 when Judas Priest and tour-mates Def Leppard played a friendly match. The idea for a course started rumbling around in 1989 when he bought a 460-acre farm adjacent to his Astbury Hall property. As for naming the holes? Try "Living After Midnight", "Breaking The Law", and "Angel of Retribution." Catchy, but not the Road Hole or Postage Stamp or Amen Corner. "

More hole name suggestions? "Sin after Sin;" "Ripper;" "Green Manilishi" and "Beyond the Realms of Death."

I wonder if Rick Allen has golfed on the course since that match.

Probably should give Alice Cooper his own hole. Guy has a handicap of 3 or 4 according to wikipedia.
