Miniature Golf has a long-standing tradition as an important part of a Myrtle Beach vacation. Mini-golf, or “putt putt” as it is sometimes referred, has been a popular and affordable form of family entertainment along the Grand Strand for 50-plus years. The challenging and whimsical courses present golf in an approachable manner for children and first-timers, while offering a tougher test of putting skills, even for the experienced golfer. Here, a kid can beat his old man at his own game and take home bragging rights. A simple game, players receive one ball and one putter at the start, and play their way through a course full of quirky obstacles. Miniature golf courses line the Grand Strand with a wide variety of themes; pirate adventures, jungle safaris, castaway islands, and even prehistoric golf with dinosaurs on every hole. Not surprisingly, the Grand Strand is also host of the Masters of Mini Golf tournament each October.

In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, a mini-golf course offers a unique twist on the classic game. Nestled on a seemingly ordinary parcel of land, this course transports visitors millions of years back in time – well, sort of. While the East Coast location boasts a curious lack of the iridium deposits typically associated with the dinosaur-killing asteroid, there are no real Jurassic creatures roaming the grounds. Instead, the course features animatronic dinosaurs like the horned ceratopsian, the spitting dilophosaurus, and the terrifying T-Rex and raptor. These prehistoric pals provide a fun and interactive backdrop for a round of mini-golf, ensuring every putt feels like a prehistoric adventure. So grab your putter, keep an eye out for the (friendly) dinosaurs, and get ready to putt your way through a one-of-a-kind Myrtle Beach experience.

Mulligan’s Lagoon is one of the newer additions to the South Strand, opening in fall 2024 on Highway 17 South in Surfside Beach.

The setup is modern too, with a card system where you load credits and scan to get your ball from a dispenser rather than the usual counter setup. There’s also a pizza parlor on site, so you can grab a bite after your round without having to leave. The courses hit a sweet spot of being challenging without being frustrating, which is exactly what you want when you’ve got a mix of ages in your group.
