A Brief History of Mini Golf in Myrtle Beach

Many say the Myrtle Beach area is the mini-golf capital of the world and for good reason. There are around 50 mini-golf courses along the Grand Strand, reaching as far north as Little River and as far south as Murrells Inlet.

Each course is more unique, surprising, and colorful than the last.

Many of Myrtle Beach’s mini-golf courses feature an “adventure” aesthetic as many courses incorporate storylines that players can follow from green to green.

One of Myrtle Beach’s first miniature golf courses opened in the 1930s and they’ve been popping up ever since.

Mini-golf is so popular in Myrtle Beach that the US ProMiniGolf Association hosts its annual “Masters” tournament in North Myrtle Beach.
